My Stash Grew Again 2020

I'd actually kept my bids very low - the Hornet was a few coppers over the start price, bearing in mind I've just fought that kit I wouldn't have been too fussed if someone had bid me, ditto the Polikarpov as I knew I had an injection one.  Really, it was the Swift I was after.

Ahh, but it stopped me buying them ....which is a good thing! :-D (and it would've been the Swift if anything that I would have keep bidding a little bit more on each time! )

I didn't realise there was an injection I-185 Lee. Who's it by ?

I've got the Magna one along with the other two Soviet projects he first did when he moved to Spain.

There's two actually.  One's by Eastern Express/Ark - well, it's in their box anyway.  Don't know who the other one is by.

Wise man.  I never get into bidding wars unless it's something I *really* want, but there's very few kits now that fit that.  TBH, with the availability - pause for sarcastic response - of the far superior Airfix Swift, I'd advise to go for the latter, except I'm converting it back to a fighter for the FGA role.  IIRC, the only Airfix one I've built (but yet to finish) is going in the same role, albeit as a late one with the longer nose with electronics and black boxes rather than cameras.

Just won on eBay 1/72 Contrail Blackburn Beverly.

Just received the Cheyenne and Seamaster from Atlantis Models. Both arrived in great shape. The Cheyenne is more involved than the Seamaster but the engraved panel lines are soft and oversized. I might fill them in and rescribe, or not. The Seamaster is simpler and has very fine raised rivets and panel lines. Pretty good for 1956. These molds are older than me! Of course it also has raised lines for the decal placement but these should be no problem to remove. Pretty sure the Cheyenne will be OOB with maybe an improved cockpit. Question is just what to do with the Seamaster. Maybe the EP-6M ELINT version someone did already or a 1/72nd cockpit for an attack seaplane? We shall see.

Printscale DH Hornet decals from Australia - even with postage from the other side of the planet they were still cheaper than a BIN in the UK with "free" postage.

$15 I figured I could have it.       I saw someone post a pic of the Revell kit but I looked at Scalemates and they said it was just a Matchbox kit so when the options showed up on eBay I went with the cheapest one.

From the eBay fairy...

1/48 HobbyBoss BAE Hawk Mk.127
1/24 Testors Lamborghini Diablo-My first car kit since I was a teenager I think.  It will be a What If build...as in "What If I won the lottery??"

[TallEng]

From Freightdog, a Supermarine Type 327 "Shrew"
Not sure about the name though...
Guess it'll do for the One week build.
It's currently available for a "special price."

From evil-bay, more "in lieu of the shows that should have been" purchases.
First of all, more glorious Hasegawa box design from 1978 (this is the first release).

The Brigade Models Spitfire XII conversion kit arrived that I won on ebay, and very nice it is too.

I'd forgotten HOW nice since I bought the first one I saw some years back, but without noticing it was in 1/48 scale.................
