My Stash Grew Again 2019

PR19_Kit · February 17, 2019, 11:00:03 AM

From today's Shuttleworth Show, an S&M Stalwart kit to replace the one that was stolen from the SIG stand at the 2017 Telford show.

It's destined to be a 'tow tug' for my Martin Monterey flying boat eventually.

Plus a whole lot of odds and ends like Tamiya tape etc.

It's a nice little kit, Kit, just watch out for the back end especially around the exhaust.

I went to a reasonably-nearby regional show today, manned a stand with the IPMS NL Scratchbuilding SIG.

Acquisitions:
Revell 1:144 Typhoon twoseater
circle cutter

A few goodies waiting after a weekend getaway to the coast...

HobbyBoss 1/48 Red Arrows Hawk T.1 (on sale from Squadron for $25!)
Hasegawa 1/48 A-4C all the way from Japan

Won an Italeri 1:72 A-4M + F-5E combo on ev!lbay, for just EUR 8,-. No boxes, but the kits are complete.

Dropped into the LHS today to grab some evergreen styrene rod and came away with a 1/25 AMT AMC Pacer Station Wagon.

I've been eyeing this for a while because it has parts for a custom panel van.

The custom Pacer looks cool!

Eagerly awaited kit(s) arrived today.
Takom 1/72nd scale Russian army tractor set. Has a KZKT-537L and MAZ-537. As soon as I saw this kit, I just had to have one, as Soviet era vehicles are a favourite of mine. I will have to source a trailer for one of them, maybe a tank low loader, the other could well be a SAM launch vehicle.

I'm not sure that even a custom job could improve the looks of a Pacer, it's almost beyond saving!

Ah, the vehicle of choice for discerning headbangers...

Matt black all the way for that one

Did any make it over here in the UK, as the only time I have seen one was on Wheeler Dealers the TV show.

I've seen few, yes, usually near USAF bases.

Their fundamental problem in a RHD country is that one door is larger than the other, the WRONG one for this country!

From Colin at Freightdog, a nice little set of wings and burner to turn a Hunter into a Super Hunter!

The Wooksta! · February 19, 2019, 06:37:27 PM

Awaiting a set of Lincoln wheels from Freightdog for a Lancaster project that's nearing completion - the Paragon cloned wheels I have are just too slim for the Revell Lancaster it's based on.

And ebay tells me I've won an Airways Vickers Viscount. Would have much preferred a Vanguard but they're rarer than rare.
