Re: My stash just grew again (2017)

From Modelnerds.
Vought F4U Birdcage Corsair by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr
Dassault Mirage F.1C by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr
Both the first releases.
Initially they sent me the correct kits but in the wrong boxings (later than the ones show non their website).  When I pointed this out they, promptly and without question, exchanged the kits for the correct boxings and paid the postage costs incurred by me sending them back.
So after the initial mistake they provided very good service.

I know you aircraft types won't care too much but one of these is waiting at the Post Office for me to collect it.



Hopefully before SWMBO attends said Post Office .

Which may be difficult, as I'm working day shift all weekend.

I have had 2 of those mirages, bought them about 10 years ago from oldmodelkits.com. The revel kit is the same kit. They build quite nicely too.

The standing pilot figure and boarding ladder is a nice touch.

I "won" another 5 kits of this age on Wednesday.  Just waiting for them to get here.

[Thorvic]

Had a HobbyBoss Lynx HAS3 and the Air Graphics Lynx AH1 Gulf War conversion set for the Airfix AH1 delivered yesterday.

The NavyLynx will be a Project Cancelled project 

[McColm]

My order has gone through for the AlleyCat Avro Shackleton TMk1 conversion set which will be fitted to the Airfix MR.2. As a MR.1.

New at my Stash.

I like the look of that M31.

I got, as birthday presents a couple of 1/25 cars.

Do you get figures of Starsky and Hutch to pose leaping across the bonnet (hood..........) of the Torino? 

I like the look of that, I didn't know anyone did it m model form. 

[zenrat]

Just looking at it I can hear the James Taylor Quartet.
No figures but it is moulded in red and black.  Notice what is missing from the box design?
It took a long time for these to appear down here after they were released in the US and I suspect that was due to licensing issues.  The US releases look like this.

This one will definitely be built OOB.  I hope the decals are opaque enough not to show the red through from beneath.

Do you mean the pukka Starsky and Hutch faces? The Oz edition has a recognisable Huggy Bear over on the left though.

[zenrat]

It's not that good a likeness to be honest.  But I meant the names.  There is no mention of Starsky & Hutch anywhere on the box.
The name of the show is copyright and subject to licensing agreements but apparently its OK to put that stripe on a red car.

I would say Starsky and Hutch are at the back of the car, looking the other way

From today's Poynton Model Show:

1/72nd ZTS Plastyk RWD-5bis, which is kind of Polish equivalent of a Piper Cub by the looks of things.

Couple of 1/76th Oxford Diecast Bedford CA (post '64) crew buses (unboxed and hence cheap), one in BOAC colours and one Royal Navy.

I noticed them, but I'm not sure the 'Starsky' has anywhere near enough hair.
