My Stash Grew Again 2020

[sandiego89]

Thanks guys, had never seen Pioneer at my hobby shops in the USA.

The Flagon does not seem to get much Whif love, but I have an idea.....

I've chopped-some of these (rather crude) PM Model Su-15s - they are good donor banks for conversions  , e.g.:


1:72 Sukhoi Su-19M (NATO code 'Flagon H'); aircraft '07 Yellow', unknown unit, Ukrainian Air Force; Saky Air Base, August 1993 (What-if/PM Model conversion) by dizzyfugu, on Flickr


1:72 Sukhoi Su-21D (T-58Sh/Su-15Sh, NATO code 'Flagon H'); aircraft '02 Blue' of 20th GvAPIB, 125th ADIB, 16th VA, Soviet Air Force; Templin (GDR), April 1985 (What-if/Kit-bashing) by dizzyfugu, on Flickr

...and a nose section was used here:


1:72 Mikoyan-Gurewitsch Izdeliye 71.2 "жура́вль/Crane" (NATO ASCC code "Fastback"); aircraft "12 Blue", 2nd prototype during flight and weapon tests at Savasleyka Air Base, 1995 (Whif/kit-bashing) by dizzyfugu, on Flickr

Just taken delivery of these 3d printed British prototypes and paper projects, all 3d printed.

where did you find those?

[The Wooksta!]

Local guy called Alister Reid does his own 3d printed stuff and these were some of the earlier ones - he's moving up to a resin printer, so the results will be better.  He's working on other stuff - TsrJoe is printing some of it.

Wanted a clearout and offered them to me, knowing they'd have a good home.  Said he's looking forward to seeing how I rework them.  Think the Miles 52 will end up underneath a Lancaster 6 as that was the plan apparently.

That is certainly a nice box of goodies  Lee, is he going to make stuff to sell.

Eventually, yes.

What are these printed in then Lee ?

Ebay says I've won another Vulcan

Is this No 8 or was it included in the original 7 ? 

[The Wooksta!]

7 is the number in build.  It has no relation to the number of Vulcans purchased.


Not sure what the 3d printed stuff is printed in, I just know it's not resin.  Some kind of plastic.

Ah right

Right. That's interesting. The very first 3D  printer I saw in action was in the Children's section of the Science Museum in Kensington and that was printing in some kind of plastic by the look of it. Ages ago.

Eventually, yes.

Brilliant, I  will keep an eye  open  for those then, as there aren't nearly enough  models of what if and very nearly British aircraft.

Ordered another 1/144 Victor, a B.1 this time. I've got several B.2s in the stash, but I wanted to follow the drawings for the HP.111, which show wingtip tanks instead of the carrots halfway down the wing. I could have hacked about the B.2 wing, but this is easier.

Arrived today. I ordered it from an eBay seller in the Ukraine. Packaged in an envelope which contained the sprues etc. plus the original box folded flat - and it looks like the box has never been glued together. You'd almost think this kit was sourced directly from the factory.

I'll be looking forward to seeing that. 

[The Wooksta!]

I've got all the bits for said Lancaster, I think.  Might even have some part assembled wings.  Long term project, I think.

Nice Dizzy, I recalled you had done a few.  Some of the less popular Soviet types are under-wfiffed.
