WoW, that looks as if it's been in someone's garage for several years decades

[Steel Penguin]

from the box o stuff from my late father in laws loft ( all ho/oo scale)
part of an airfix girder bridge,  part of an engine shed
a prairie tank engine ( 1 main frame missing  with broken under body
1 un built  city of Turo with an extra boiler and a built version ( less front double bogy)  its a bodge together waiting to happen 
4 pairs of small ( bogy / wagon) sizes wheels
I have no ideas what to do with it all at the moment but what the heck

Got the new 1/72nd Xtradecal AW-101 Merlin decal sheet. Very impressed donkey covers most users including the Royal Navy HC3 and HC4. What's even better is that when they issued the 48th set I emailed Hannants and asked about them scaling it to 72nd. Dave Hannant replied himself sounding skeptical but said he would look into it and now we have a sheet  .

Hopefully the aftermarket boys will step up and do some update sets, and maybe italeri will release the AW-101 Ceaser CSAR version they have lined up for 2017 as that's the Merlin with the bigger nose.

Ironically the only versions that don't appear to have decals or a kit is the Italian Navy ASW & AEW versions !, never been done by Italeri either as they just did the Utility version in Italian service.

Also received was the Blackbird Resin conversion set for the Neptune to do the RAF MR1 version, go nicely with Freightdog's Decals.

Ooooh, I'm tempted to get one of those too. I had the Falcon vacform conversion for that but managed to make a right hash of it, and abandoned the idea, but I still have the base kit.

I was living at RAF Topcliffe when they first arrived, and they looked IMMENSE compared to the Lancasters they were replacing. I couldn't understand how they managed to fly with only half the number of engines of the Lancs.

After a few months without buying any modelling related products, last night i ordered a few items.
From ebay sellers, Eduard cockpit PE set for 1/48 Hasegawa F-16, Orange Hobby mask set for 1/72 F-35C.
From Bigcat.com.pt, a bottle of Microsol and 1x Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29SMT 9-19.
I'm also going to my LHS today to get some Tamiya paints but we all know how that normally works out...

So, the PE and the mask set were delivered...





...but the Mig-29 was actually not in stock so this came in it's place...

[TheChronicOne]

Whoa.... I like that whif F/A-200. 

[Old Wombat]

Whoa.... I like that whif F/A-200.

It's a F/A-20C, Brad.

LMAO  I guess I need my eyes checked, I can see it now! Thanks!   

You, know, that's funny.. because... you know the eye charts at the Dr.'s office? I can read every letter on the thing until the very bottom row then I can't distinguish C from O... so go figure.

No need to have your eyes check then.
But it could be the F-2000 for all i care, it's a whif anyway. 
The kit looks absolutely gorgeous in the box and if it builds as good as some say it does, then it's a very good kit in all aspects.
Although i bought the F/A version, it's going to be an F with modern air to air missiles.

Sounds like a plan! 

Also, now I'm wondering what an F-5 fuselage with Mirage 2000 delta wings would look like.

Something almost like a saab gripen? IMHO, take away the canards and it's not very different.
