Just  picked up my AZ model  SR 53 kit  from the post office.  Very  nice  wee kit, i am thinking of  asking Colin at Freightdog if he has any decals  for the  in service  what if version,  as I  want it  to be slightly different to the  one I am building at the moment

I have some unused decals from my SR.53 build. You can have those if it suits. Drop me a line.

All in 1/72 scale won off eBay;
Airfix  Vulcan special anniversary
Airfix Short Stirling
Matchbox HP Halifax

The aim is to stretch the fuselage of the Vulcan
The Stirling is to get the Rolls-Royce Merlin engines (I know where I went wrong last time I tried!)
The Halifax ASR.1 ambitious but I think I have all the parts.

The Wooksta!

I'm not buying anywhere near as much as I used to, even Spitfires, but I have acquired these few bits and pieces largely off ebay:

Ventura Spitfire HFVII
Ventura Spitfire PRXI
Ventura Seafire F.XV "Sting Hook" - quite happy to get this as I only have the one in the stash.

AZ Spitfire Vb
AZ Spitfire mk IX
These were bought as part started, the latter may well end up at Telford as a mk XVIe, depending on how much work needs doing to it.

Best of all:
Airkit Seafire XV
Cost: £4 Postage from the US £19!!!!!

And a mate donated a Quickboost Spitfire Vb Rotol prop.

Just as I was settling down for lunch yesterday (fish and chips on a Saturday  :thumbsup:) the postie knocked and handed me quite a large box. Inside, direct from Airfix, a brand new Buccaneer  ;D

Looks really good in the box. She'll be real world, but not sure if from the box or after market transfers. Need to look.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I am tempted  to get one of the new Buccaneers  also,  mine  will be slightly  wiffed, and be a what if the RAF took them in to service  parallel to the  navy.

Finally found one of these for under $60 after shipping. A bit surprised to be honest, I didn't expect to win the auction. Pretty happy to have it...

It's happened again the seller has withdrawn two articles that I bought on eBay,  the Airfix Avro Vulcan and Shorts Stirling.

That really isn't on as far as I'm concerned. Have you complained ?

:wacko: I have a sneaky plan for this involving the use of SAC starred sash bands and either wing or command badges.   :wacko:
