Were as bad as each other, going to be a very egg beater few months build wise

I am up to my armpits in mirages and variations of, as I will be stationary for a few months soon, nowt wrong with helicopters, it's the storing and displaying them that is my problem

[Weaver]

So does the 'MB6' have different canopy to the MB5's (the box art suggests it does)?

Yes: it's a two-seater along the lines of the two-seat Mustangs. That means you get a complete spare single-seat fuselage in the box too...

Ah hell.  Something else I have to buy.  RAF COIN aircraft - Malaya maybe, or Aden.

Any other new plastic in the box?  Bombs, rockets and stuff?

No, nothing like that: just the tip tanks.

Speaking of which Chris, I scored a bag of resin Mirage bits yesterday, some of which may be of more use to you than to me. I havn't ID'd everything yet (no instructions, it was in the Kitswap). In particular, there's a pointy nose that may or may not be suitable for a Cheetah-style upgrade, and a fin with a leading edge root extension which, if memory serves, was a cover for some kind of aerial used on upgraded Mirages. Since all my Mirage projects are 1960/70s vintage, but I understand you're looking at 1980s/90s upgraded type ones, you can have them if you want them.

What I'll do is photograph them so you can see what's what, but not tonight: barely keeping my eyes open here.

Today's Telford additions were more restrained since I got basically everything I wanted yesterday. However...

Revell 1/72nd Shackleton MR.3 (the old FROG one: I only want to nick some (admittedly big) bits off it, so no point butchering one of the new ones.
Magna/Combat Models 1/72nd Lancastrian conversion.
OR.9001 RAE spaceplane from Joe Cherrie.
Bottle of Liquid Gravity.
Various paintbrushes.

[The Wooksta!]

Revell 1/72nd Shackleton MR.3 (the old FROG one: I only want to nick some (admittedly big) bits off it, so no point butchering one of the new ones.

If you're not keeping the engines and props, any chance I could scrounge them?

I'll post my list up when I've had a chance to unpack.  It's nowhere near as big as normal though, but there are plenty of Spitfires in it.

Sorry Lee, the engines, props and wings are the main things I want...

Thankyou H,
That will be brilliant, can't have enough mirage related bits

Just won on eBay the AMT 1/72 AC-130U Gunship.
I've read a couple of reviews which lists loads of faults, so the Hasegawa Shinmiewa PS-1/SS-2 will make a great amphibious Gunship.

[The Wooksta!]

Hmmmn, where do I start?

The easy bit.  The none Spitfire stuff.
2 Magna Bristol 148
1 Magna Firebrand TF.V
1 Magna Firefly T1/T2
2 Revellogram NA F82s (these were on my shopping list)
1 Amodel De Havilland Dove/Devon (this was on my shopping list)
2 AZ SR 53 (one of each boxing)
1 AZ MB6 "Night Ferret" (this will be a subject in my next none Plan blog)
1 Valom Bristol Bombay
1 Valom Bristol Buckmaster (this was on my shopping list if I could find one at a nice price)
1 Special Hobby Blackburn Skua
3 Skybirds 86 DH Hornets (one from Howard's stash, another spotted by EKFG)
Freightdog Cannon Hurricane conversion
Freightdog Discbomb conversion

And now for the Spitfires...
1 Airfix PR19 (it was very cheap and even then, I almost left it)
1 Ventura PR19
7 Heller mk XVIes (donor/conversion fodder)
3 Sword mk XIVes, two of which were the FRs
1 AZ Spitfire XIVe highback
1 AZ mk XVI joypack
1 Sword PR.IV Trop
1 Sword mk XVIe highback
1 Sword mk XVIe lowback
1 Eduard mk VIII weekend
1 Eduard mk IXe
1 Eduard mk XVIe lowback
1 Eduard Czech boxing triple combo (Antics were flogging them off for £35.  I got the last one, because I didn't want to be greedy. An absolute steal and cheaper than the pair I got on ebay a week or so back.  Scooterman was given the decal placement profile book)
1 Sword Seafire IIc/L.IIc
Freightdog early mk IXc conversion
Freightdog Aboukir mk IX conversion
Freightdog Spitfire mk XIV/XVIII decals from his reboxing of the AZ kits, 2 of each release.
2 Freightdog Post War Spitfires decal sheets
1 3D Rotol Spitfire conversion
1 Magna Spiteful F.16/Seafang F.32 (courtesy of Narses2)
1 Airfix Swift FR.5

I also got two of Freightdog's next kit release.  The subject hasn't been announced yet and it's Colin's baby to announce so I'm not stealing his thunder.  What I will say is that I'm highly impressed with it and will be doing a review/build thread on it very soon. To those of you who do know what it is and have seen it, I'll ask you to keep schtum until Colin announces it.

When I got back, ebay took great delight in telling me I'd won a Ventura Seafire XV early and an Eduard Aussie VIII combo (a snip at under twenty notes), plus a collection of spare Spitfire bits for a fiver.

New at my Stash

I'm waiting for my styrene dealer to get more of these in stock.

[Gondor]

My Sunday stash additions from SMW were

1 x 1/72 Airfix Me 262
1 x 1/72 AZ Supermarine Spiteful Mk 14

Gondor

[PR19_Kit]

Does the fact that it's a 'hybrid' mean it has a big battery somewhere and runs on electric motors sometimes?

[Dork the kit slayer]

Only one for me at SMW. Hasegawa "Dave" float plane. Really nice and at half price even better than really nice.


PS how are we posting pics these days???
