Having nearly used up all my PPP on the Rotodyne I dropped into the LHS to get some more.
They were out, but I did pick up some evergreen 1mm x 0.5mm strips, chisel blades for my exacto and a 1/72 Hobby Boss Mil Mi-4A.
The Mil looks good in the box with a nice level of detail.

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

It grew again today in a minor way.  And I spent no money (my favourite form of growth).
I opened an F8 Crusader from the "Hasegawa box art and font" collection to borrow some bombs and found two kits in the box (one with fuselage halves glued together).
Now that's a turnip for the books.
I open and check everything I buy so i'm not sure how I missed that.

Score!!!!! I got a Lansen kit like that once. Box seemed heavy for some reason so I checked it out and two complete kits crammed off in there.  ;D ;D

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Got one of my Holy Grail kits !

1/72 Max Holste Broussard  resin kit by Model Art https://www.scalemates.com/kits/model-art-decal-system-ma-kit-008-max-holste-mh1521-broussard--195233

on the few times I've seen these on ebay they've sold for £80+ . Got it on a Buy-it-now for  lot, lot less.

Oh and Lee (aka The Wooksta!) you beat me on that CMK resin 4 kits.... I got all the others from that seller. I love these old rough and ready garage resins so if you want to move them on.....

I've not been building lately because i'm "homeless" at the moment but there are some kits i can't say no to... This one will probably be a RW build as one of the PoAF's Vipers.

The Chaos


Dizzyfugu

Stumbled upon KP's MiG-21 3-in-1 joy pack and simply could not resist (the mold looks decent!), and I added a Mistercraft 1:72 Me 262 B-1a for just EUR 6,-, which actually is the Heller night fighter kit, complete with antlers. The latter will probably end up as a CS-92 in Israeli colors.  ;D

Received from the Big yellow H

From BNA model world.

Zero Paint Jet Black
Zero Paint Starsky & Hutch Red
Vallejo light rust wash
Eduard canopy masks for Hobby Boss Mil Mi-8
Pavla resin troop seats for Hobby Boss Mil Mi-8

Zero Paints are fantastic airbrush ready paints with a wide range of colours specifically tailored for model cars.  They are made in the UK and sold through Hiroboy who used to ship them to me but now refuse to send them downunder.  Spot Model in Spain will still send them to me but it seems BNA model world here in Melbourne have become a stockist.  Unfortunately someone beat me to the Candy colours I really want.

That is an evil system and it's use should be discouraged for the good of my pocket.
Having said that, it's not as bad as Hobby Link Japans's system which lets you order stuff on back order that you then forget about until you get a demand for payment 3 months later.  At least with BNA you have the option to not order it.
