My Stash Grew Again 2020

[Dizzyfugu]

An exotic anime/mecha rarity for a resonable price:

[AeroplaneDriver]

From the eBay Fairy, 1/48 Italeri F-19 Stealth Fighter.  This one will be designated for a little sci-fi kitbashing. 

[PR19_Kit]

I bought one of those Molotow Chrome Pens and it arrived today.

After a few pumps on the barrel to get the paint to flow down into the felt nib I tried it on some chrome bits of the 'Secret Prototype' car I'm doing, and I'm SERIOUSLY impressed! 

It works very well and the finish is indistinguishable from the original plating.

Some parcels arrived for me today;

1/24 built Burago Jaguar XK120 (1948- in silver), previous owner has tried to whitewall the tyres. That will have to come off or a new set bought.

1/72 Heller AMD Mirage IVA.

1/72 Combat Conversions Boeing E-3D Sentry AEW- decals,  resin engines and pylons,  resin refuelling probe and housing,  aerials,  wingtips and ESM pods. Suitable for the Airfix E-3D or Heller E-3A/C AWACS.

1/72 Sutcliff vacform Avro York C1 conversion set,  badly damaged so it could get stretched or be turned into a bomber,  however I have the Combat Hobbies vacform conversion set which includes ; Avro Lancaster to Manchester.  HP Halifax III to Halifax I or II or the Halifax Transport,  Shorts Stirling to  Transport and Beaufighter to Hereford .
So I'm thinking Avro York with Avro Manchester wings and engines,  plus tail fins.

1/72 Magna Models  Fairey Gannet AEW. 3.

From the LMS yesterday, Airfix 1/72 new tool Defiant

[The Wooksta!]

Beautiful kit, one of their best since the Hornby takeover.

[kitnut617]

So -- is that turret an option in the new Lancaster kits ?

[The Wooksta!]

IIRC, there's a blanking plate but the Lancaster never had a four gun midd upper.  Halifax did, two kinds of Boulton Paul turret, one of which was the Defiant one.  But Lancaster, no.

I did a Defiant as a turret trainer with a Lancaster unit some years back.

Hobbyboss F-86F arrived, going to be Israeli Air Force.

[NARSES2]

Beautiful kit, one of their best since the Hornby takeover.

Totally agree - gorgeous kit

[The Wooksta!]

Found I'd ordered an extra decal sheet - something i'd put in my ebay basket and forgotten about, so when I did a BIN on some Vulcan decals, I get an extra Modeldecal sheet with a 15 Sqn Brick on it as well. 

Which is nice.

A nice package at the post office today ---

All 1/72;
Dragon EA-18G Growler
AiM A310 resin CF6 engine set
AiM A310 Inflight Refueling Pods
AlletCat Beaufighter Twin Tail
MLH/Bring it! C-130H engines & NP2000 props

[The Wooksta!]

When you get to the twin Beaufighter, you may need to remove more plastic than the instructions suggest.

Incidentally, how long was the wait from Alleycat?

[kitnut617]

It was ordered direct from them on the 24th July Lee. Carl (The Big Gimper) ordered them for me as he was getting a set too, so they came to Ontario first, then to me here in Alberta.

I forgot one ---
1/72 Belcher Bits Canadian Civvie Lancaster Mk.X conversion, three pairs of nose and tail fairings, all different and different to the Lancastrian fairings.
