Re: My stash just grew again (2017)

Who! The Vickers & the Oerlikon guns are great!

The Oerlikon in particular is amazing 

The one that comes in the Airfix ASR launch is even better.......... (at least I think it's the ASR launch, it may be their MTB)

MTB, no Oerlikon on the BPB rescue launch.

Received today, another Revell 1/72 F-16 from a German seller on ebay, not that i don't have enough Revell F-16s but this is a bit of a rare box nowadays, it was the first edition of this kit and it has a tinted canopy like their 1/72 F-22 Raptor kit so, enough reason for another Viper in this nest... like i really need a reason to buy more F-16 kits.
Also bought a new respirator mask and a pair of filters for it, for my airbrush sessions, the twin filter black mask you can see in the pic needs a new head band and isn't as comfortable and insulating as the Vito masks are so, an upgrade there.

Rescue Launch does have a single Oerlikon mount.  It is optional on the stern depending if you are modelling an early or late boat.

The Airfix rendition rotates and elevates.  However I wasn't about to buy two kits just for the guns.  These are pretty impressive when you consider they are printed in one piece.  They are more delicate because I suspect their scale fidelity is better.

Indeed it does, and I have one, which is why I mentioned it originally...............

Doh, yer right, shoulda pulled the boxes out of the stash. 
The MTB has the twin-mount, which is nowhere as good as the single
in the launch kit.

Reminds me that I need to finish my pleasure cruiser conversion of the ASR boat.

Thanks Thorvic.  Hannants minimum order for shipping overseas is 30 quid or i'd be ordering.

Jon - we allow you one mistake a year so you're OK.

Today arrived what I think is my last Grail kit, 1/72nd scale monogram F-16 XL
Only thing I don't like about it is the slots in the undersides for the amraam's to sit in, not very realistic, so they are going to have to go, as I want to give it an air to ground load out. Also managed to get it for under 19 quid, which is a result

After that mixed grill I don't think I want a bun

Picked up my pre-order from Whirlybird whilst Martin was being sold a puma. I got the new Whirlwind HAR 9 RN SAR version and the S-61 heliliner.
