My stash just grew again 2018.

[Spey_Phantom]

just got back from a trip to the seaside with the missus, and got one new addition ive been eyeing for quite some time 

-1/72 Revell F-16MLU, 100th Anniversary of 1st Squadron 

[Weaver]

One very large box containing a single ModelCollect P1000 Ratte arrived yesterday evening. In the one true scale of course.

Dare any of the Yanks to call that 'Braille Scale'.....

[Howard of Effingham]

From today's show at the RAF Museum Cosford.....

1/72 Zvezda MiG-29SMT [nice score as this one has the 'hump back' fuselage]
1/72 Airfix B-57 [from IPMS Birmingham's charity table - they were taking donations for Birmingham Children's Hospital]
1/72 Amodel DH Devon [this one has RNZAF markings..... but not for long!]
1/72 Unicraft Bell 'Eagle Eye' UAV
1/48 Glencoe DH Venom FB4

and a wide assortment of bits inc sanding sticks, weathering enamels, decals and so on.

1/72nd scale:

Matchbox DHC Twin Otter (missing floats and short nose and therefore extremely cheap, and it's the skis that I want anyway...)

[The Wooksta!]

From ebay:
Hobbycraft Beech C-45 Expeditor.

Quite what I'll do with it I have no idea...

[PR19_Kit]

Quite a haul from Cosford, for me anyway.

1/144 Minicraft MD80 from S&M models, who are importing them w/o decals, just up my street. 
Freightdog VC10 multi-purpose conversion kit and Tornado GR4A conversion.
C Scale (yes, really...) Tornado F3 conversion kit for £2! But I have plans for it.... 
Aeroclub Fairey Barracuda canopy and landing gear set.
Aeroclub Lightning white metal bits.
AlleyCat Gannet wing fold set.
EBMA paint pot stand, as recommended by Weaver. 
EBMA tool stand kit, a vital necessity to return my model bench to sanity!

...1/72 Amodel DH Devon...

Review I read says A Model have got their stuff together on this one.  Based on a first look see do you concur?

Please and thank you.

[The Wooksta!]

From the cursory glance through the box I gave mine at Telford, it looked to be fine.  The mouldings are nice and clean plus the spare glazing for the canopy will come in handy for the Magna and Rareplanes ones I have in the stash.  The latter, despite being a vacform, is still a very nice kit - I have fond memories of building one circa 1991.  The Magna one looks to be a warmed over version.

Air Graphics are doing a load of resin bits for it, but the day I voluntarily line the pockets of a convicted criminal will be a day in hell so cold that they'd have to cut Satan out of a block of ice a mile deep before he could get to work.  There's more chance of Sunderland AFC winning the Premiership, the Champion's league and the FA Cup on the same day.

Arrived today!

Even for the money there's quite a lot of plastic in the box (Or should I say "case"? As it comes in a solidly constructed cardboard box with a carry-handle inside a sleeve) & it looks to be very crisply molded.

Also, a Revell 1/32 Corvette C3 (1969) managed to escape the local toy store when I went in to buy some paints.

Very simple kit but I love that era 'Vette.

Next round of madness is filtering in.







Normally I'd bloviate but I'm a little worn out right now from work today.       (the world rejoices!)

I love the Raleigh Chopper pushbike in the background - very 1970s (yes, I did have one...)

Looks more like a Schwinn Sting-Ray to me H.

Yeah, fair comment. I'd never heard of the Sting-Ray until now: cheers. I just assumed the painting was a bit 'off' because they were trying to make it generic, probably for copyright reasons.

They're both the same genre of 1970s ape-hangars/banana-seat/sissy-bar/gear-stick pushbike, trying to look like the custom motorbikes of the era.
