Not a model per se but you could call it a kind of kit: 1/1 Marriage Licence from Internal Affairs.

Am I the only one that thinks that issuing marriage licences from a department called Internal AFFAIRS is just asking for trouble?  ;)

I see your point  ;D However some would say that Internal are ok as if you have an affair with your own wife it keeps the relationship alive. It's EXTERNAL affairs that are the problem  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Blimey, normal married life is complicated enough without adding MORE things to it!

Picked up a Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog at Hobby Lobby. It was $18.00 but a 40% online coupon made it $11.50. I already started glueing up the holes in the bottom. I already have one built OOB so now I have to figure out what to do with this one. Definitely an engine upgrade.

just got back from the Eeklo modelshow, with moddest stash additions  :rolleyes:

-Revell 1/72 F-16B Twin Seater
-Revell 1/144 Heinkel He111
-DACO 1/72 Sikorsky HSS.1 SeaBat decals (Belgian Air Force/Navy)
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

Just bought a couple of pre-painted/-fibred generic tabletop bases/modules - I'll give them a try for photography, and might tune one or two of them, e .g. with a coat of snow and some bushes or trees.

After another long search through the web, i finally managed to score a Hasegawa Limited Edition 1/48 F-16E Desert Falcon!! It was the last item on Der SockelShop's stock in Germany, and the only one i could find in any online shop!!  :drink: Oh, and the cost was around what i paid for Kinetic's F-16E! :thumbsup:
The plan for this kit is to first donate the F-16E specific parts to one of the 2 Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ i have in the stash for a Whif, the rest of the kit will become a RW PoAF F-16AM with the ADF tail which is provided in the Skunkworks F-16XL kit. And a Kinetic 1/48 F-16F has also been ordered from a Portuguese shop... I know, more F-16s... :rolleyes: but what can i say? The sickness is becoming worse... :wacko:

1/72 Frog Avro Shackleton Mk3
1/72 Airwaves EB-66C conversion
1/144 Revell An-124

As S+M Models do a range of 1/144 AWACS radomes makes sense to me to build a An-124 AWACS version.

The Lockheed Neptune looks good with twin booms and twin fins, so the same treatment could be used on the Shackleton.

Just arrived - Hasegawa 1/72 US Pilots & Ground Crew.
This gives me another Chevrolet crew van which I feel might get a Post Office paint job.

Plus, at the post office waiting to be picked up are some very tiny drill bits and polishing swabs.
