My Stash Grew Again 2019

[NARSES2]

Confusion reigns. 

Doesn't it always ? 

[Rick Lowe]

The Round2/MPC *Brand New Tool* 1/72 Space:1999 Eagle arrived
(only 4 days after I'd paid my money at Monsters in Motion - from California to NZ that's pretty good, but I digress)

The kit is awesome, and as it replicates everything -and more- that I was planning to inflict on the old kit (and myself), I wasn't too unhappy with the price.

189 parts (IIRC), proper 1/72, correctly 'handed' landing pods, open side cages with internal details, multi-part engine nozzles, 'landed' or 'in flight' landing legs, all sorts of other bits but those are the ones I can remember.

Knocks the old kit into a cocked hat, as they used to say (though at least *something* was available at the time).

If you have any interest at all in the ship, have a look.


Can you tell I'm just a bit enthusiastic?

Acquired another Hasegawa Spitfire mk VIII.  Think I have enough of these now.  Well, for now anyway...

A surprise find yesterday whilst out shopping in Coventry Market was a unopened 1979 boxing of the 1/32 Airfix Dennis 1914 Fire Engine for just £12.

The decals are shot but if you know your 'Railway Stories' this is being wiffed inasmuch as it will be assigned to the Isle of Sodor Fire Brigade.

Hehehehe, will it have a face then?

Today's haul from the 'Coldest Model Show on Earth'....

1/72 Airfix Rockwell B-1B Lancer
1/72 Hasegawa B-17G
1/35 Mercedes type four door family car and some African figures with mercenaries same scale
1/32 Airfix Triumph Herald [for a wiff I am planning]
1/72 Hasegawa F-111C [for bashing into a 2nd RAF F-111K]

And assortment of aftermarket bits for various types and some weathering items. Also trying out some Mr Color Purple Liquid Cement.

Me and Richard B had a good day extolling the virtues of wiffery.

Can't really call it a haul... bought from the same Spanish vendor who was present at Modelcult, also present at Beja this weekend, 20€ spent on this...



A pair of Ammo by Mig detail paint brushes of 5/0 and 3/0 sizes, a Tamiya 6mm masking tape refill and the 1/72 Academy AH-64A Apache.

Your better off using the F-111-A version to make a K as the K was to use the shorter wings according to both the documentation I have seen and pictures of the aircraft taken while they were being built.

But at least you can cut  a C down to size to make a K.

[The Wooksta!]

Ebay says I've won that big box of Spitfires and spares I was bidding on.  Get up sausage!

[Gondor]

But at least you can cut  a C down to size to make a K.

The intakes would still be wrong though for the aircraft ordered, however with this being whiff world I suppose a second batch of aircraft could have been ordered with a later version of intake......

This is wiffery chaps! It only has to look right.

My Meteor U22 went down well at Coventry and work on the PR17 variant proceeds.

A second RAF F-111K is likely to get 12 Squadron markings, the first one was in Op Granby Desert Pink and got the CNN markings a  carried.

From Ebay, six 1/12th scale turned aluminium beer cans, complete with labels.

This micro-brewery fad is getting way out of hand.....
