Today arrived the armament for my Avro Archer F-1. Two pairs of firestreak missiles with pylons, and a pair of genie missiles with pylons. Also arrived a few days back some very nice decals for said build , many thanks to Kit for these, and hopefully I will have enough spare including the ones from Zenrat to do the other two aircraft that will accompany it. :thumbsup:

Picked up the HobbyBoss Mil Mi-2 Hoplite and Mil Mi-4 Hound yesterday off Amazon. looking at them as potential conversion basis kits for other projects as opposed to builds in their own right. I could have probably gone with the cheaper and cruder Masterbox versions but the detail and plastic are much better for reuse.  :mellow:

Been mainly selling over the past few months. I'm under orders to whittle down another 500 or so kits (currently selling off about 150 WWI kits on evil bay over the next month or so).

Anyway decided to treat myself to a couple of 'weird' resin kits. Expensive but , well you just got to haven't you (SWMBO excuse when near a shoe shop).

BOULTON PAUL P-12 BODMIN



Looks quality - lots of wire wrapped in resin for support. Loads of parts - chance of getting made ? Slim with my eyesight and arthritis but may be one day....

BLERIOT 125




Had to do some research on this - there's a youtube video of it actually flying   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVHKf_R3Vuw

Weird or what ?

Just call them Xmas presents  ;) Was aware of the Bodmin but never heard of the Bleriot before. Both look very interesting
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

2 kits arrived yesterday from Mr Darth Spud Esquire. Airfix F-16 A/B, and a hobbyboss F-16 A. I want the 2 seat canopy from the airfix kit to replace the one on my arrow mk2 build, as it is wider than the italeri one I have. I remember building the airfix kit as a kid.

A second Dapol Battle of Britain loco kit needed for my Bullied Baltic tank engine project.

The guy from the local model railway shop knocked on the door and delivered it! Now THAT'S what I call service.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

GLORIOUS!  They made it intact! I'm pleased. You know I kind of figured they'd show up today as I found the Skyray instructions about 20 minutes ago.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;D

;D ;D No problem, i don't need them, it's going to be involved in a scale-o-rama... New canopy, twin seat cockpit, new wings, 2 engines... :wacko:
Thanks again, these two made both my 1/48 and 1/72 stash grow. :thumbsup:
Also waiting for another pair of kits, also additions to both scale stashes, a Hasegawa 1/48 F-2A and the Academy 1/72 T-50 Trainer for a PoAF Alpha Jet replacement... :mellow:
I was hoping at least one of them would be delivered before Christmas but i probably won't be so lucky... i just hope they don't get lost somewhere during transit... :rolleyes:

I look forward to this scale o rama bit... .. . .  :unsure: ;D
