Re: My stash just grew again (2017)

[zenrat]

I just won another Frogfoot on evil bay.  Hobbycraft this time.  I seem to be collecting them like I did MiG 21s a year or so ago.

[The Wooksta!]

We're all collectors until we build them...

[TheChronicOne]

Just how many various Frogfoot kits are there in 1/72??  Eventually I'd like to get my hands on something that could be made into the Su-25TM.

Or: We're all collectors until we get crushed under the stash avalanche.

Not me.  I fully intend to go through the pearly gates backwards in a flaming Aston Martin.

I find drinking Rum neat to be more rewarding.

Drinking dark rum neat (or at all) 'rewards' me with horrible nightmares - every freakin' time, like flicking a switch. White rum? Fine...

So, no Pusser's for Xmas then? 

Nope. Currently working my way through a rather fine bottle of Sloe Gin.

Yours or somebody else's?

If I am reading Scalemates correctly, in 1/72 there are 6 different moulds which have been boxed by a multitude of manufacturers.
I have 2 (ACE & Cooperativa) with one on the way (Hobbycraft).

Shot a Revell (ex ESCI) 1:72 Northrop F-5B on ebay. I consider building it in (personal) Catalonian colors.

Well, bit the bullet just now, ordered from Sprue Brothers one Kittyhawk 1/48 F-35B plus a Furball canopy mask for it and a 1/72 set of Scale Aircraft Conversion F-35B u/c. They were having a 20% off, Black Friday promotion on top of whatever price reduction they already had.

Original 1973 first release.  Decals are in there but will definitely be toast.  Not that that matters to the likes of us.

Ein paar Neuzugänge

[NARSES2]

That Hasegawa "Tony" boxing stirs some memories. Evocative box art for sure

[Spey_Phantom]

new kits, got them north of the border this afternoon

2 x 1/144 Revell Mig-29 Swifts
1 x 1/72 EC-135 ANWB

At long last my ACE stalwart mk2 has arrived, I think the place in the Ukraine may have had someone walk here with it and hand deliver it looking at how long it took to get here. Nice looking little kit though, even though it has LOTS of tiny parts in it.

AZ SR53 (prototype version) from Mr Strachan.  neat looking kit, have wanted an SR53 for years.
