Airfix 1/72 Handley Page 0/400

I was surprised at how nice this kit is for it's age, look really good In the box, although the mould seems a bit worn out.

Roden 1/72 Gotha G.II/G.III

Interesting addition

I bought it to rob it for wing parts for the flying boat GB.  The HP was a happy accident, I was on my way to a model shop in York and passed a rail model shop that had kits in the window. I intended to get another kit as an engine donor but couldn't pass it up at the price.
However, both are really nice kits and such good partners that I'm thinking seriously about building them oob.

Something like the Dornier RS.1?

Managed to get hold of the AlleyCat Air intakes improvement set for the Airfix 1/72 HS/BAe Nimrod for a fraction of the price.
I'll see if I can use it on one of my started builds.

New at my Stash...

My jaw dropped at this one.  I'm jealous.
Does it actually have cutaway armour like that?

Wonderful though it is, I'm afraid not!
thumbsup: My inspiration is a little later.

Glorious. I love the "planished" aluminium effect on the hull

Well, just got back from the LHS... went there to have a chat with the owner, who's also in the group of people that want to make the local/regional club come true. I was also supposed to buy some Tamiya colors but instead i ended up bringing this one home...



Payed 30€ for it, and although i think it was a bit expensive, the Revell 1/72 Super Hornet kits aren't much less.
Also, i like to support my LHS. It's the only one around in a 60km radius, then the closest is around 300 km away so, if i'd bought this on ebay from China, Korea or Japan, it would take at least 3 weeks to get here, cost only a couple of euros less and that is, if it doesn't get damaged or lost during transit.

Last shopping trip before Christmas and a couple of new kits in the stash.

Airfix 1/72 Canadair/North American Sabre F.4/F-86E(M)
Airfix 1/72 Avro Shackleton AEW.2 (although I am not allowed this kit til Christmas day)

[McColm]

Just won on eBay 1/72 Mach2 Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic.
To be converted into a twin turbofan powered AEW aircraft.

Understand and applaud the sentiment  Just wish I had a local one to support

Chris, to me, it's the least i can do for the store where i bought my first model back in the 80s, it's the only survivor of quite a few other stores that had modelling products so i try to do my bit to help it keep selling modelling products.
I guess you buy almost everything online, right? If i didn't have this store, that's how i'd buy everything. It just wouldn't be worth the 120 km round trip just for that. I've been to other shops in Lisbon(300km away) but that was when i was going there for the insurance company's medical exams after i broke my wrist at work... which was what got me back into the hobby in the first place...
Although i don't get to to my LHS as much as i wanted to, it's the only place where i can actually speak to another modeller in person so it's always a good thing.

I had to go into the local toy shop today to get some xmas presents and when I came out it seems I had accidentally purchased an Airfix Gladiator for myself.  The one with the skis.
In my defence it was 20% off.

[JayBee]

Took SHMBO up to Glasgow to-day so she could meet eldest sister and exchange Xmas pressies.
Left them to it , so I went down to Scott's Models ( the successor to Jamiesons, but not yet built up to be as good as the original Aladins cave of modelling goodies)
Came away with an Italeri 1/144 ATR-42-500. An absolutely delightful little model, and one I really do not know what I will do with it.
I also came away with the tit-bit of gossip about TSR-Joe, that he was seen buying a Christmas tree. That lad is becoming definitely domesticated. Cheers to Jaqueline!

This is not the first year he has done this, and this also leads to the eviction of a large bear from his living room 

Going by the photographs posted on Facebook, Joe got said tree from Quick fit

Decided to see if some information I had heard about ASDA selling some kits was true, so after work I popped into the Livingston brance and came away with the new Airfix Seaking for £14
