Some stuff. An assortment of plastic styrene sheets. Been considering gettings some for a long while now and I'm tired of using random crap sitting around the house.  ;D  I've made it work so far, but having this instead should make future ventures easier. I also picked up some metal gear for my 1/72 Boeing 707.

1/48???

Are you sure you're feeling alright Chris?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Rel. cheap ev!lbay wins: a Hasegawa 1:72 Fw 190 A-5 w/o box and a Heller 1:72 Mirage III/V + Rafale combo, the latter for just EUR 5,-. Hard to say no to that...

Also ordered an F-5 decal set directly from Leading Edge.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I think so Kit. Mind you it's going to be real world as well  ;)

I've got a few 1/48 scale kits actually and a solitary 1/32 one. The 1/32 scale one is so good I'm tempted by another  :angel:

More a credit note than a standard voucher. Nearly all retailers will issue a credit note as a "voucher" if you ask them and I just made sure that the young lady in question was aware of the availability and process  :rolleyes:

Two 1/72 Italeri Bell 206's are now on their way to me. They're the LAPD boxing but once I get them they will be RCAF/CAF. I've got two neat decal sheets for them, one has Canada Geese flying down each side on a pale blue background, and the other is a WWII commemorative scheme. Looking at the decals there's a Wellington depicted in one of the emblems. In Canadian service they're designated either CH-136 or CH-139.

Thanks to Geoff for pointing me in their direction, my searches didn't come up with anything except OH-58's.

Surprised it never really popped up over there especially with its LAPD scheme.

Yer all NESH!!!!

From the bracingly not warm Bolton Show today:

Airfix 1/72nd Phantom FGR.2
Airfix 1/72nd Canberra B(I).8
Valom 1/72nd RF-101A Voodoo - USAF markings
Valom 1/72nd RF-101A Voodoo - Taiwan AF markings
Revell 1/72nd Shackleton MR.3 (the old one)
Revell 1/72nd OH-58D Kiowa
Revell 1/76th M7 Priest
Pack of Hannants razor saws
Bottle of CA accelerator

Most of these were bargains, but the outstanding ones were the Voodoos: 2nd hand but perfect for £10 each. These kits currently retail for more than three times that on Hannants and there were traders selling them for £25 at the show. Although they're RF boxings, the sprues have the radar nose and separate cannon muzzles on them too.... :wub:

Only bought one kit at the Bolton show today. More of a stash reduction to be honest though as I sold 9 kits from the stash.
