It's been a little while & I missed getting one of the aircraft I had on "notification" (1/48 Tamiya P-38F/G - don't know how many they had but it sold out in 7 hours :o)

Anyway, tonight's order:

1 x Eduard Models 1/48 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Exhaust Nozzle for Eduard/Hasegawa kits (ED 648215)
2 x K59 1/35 2cm Flak Ammo set (incl. Magazines, Ammo Boxes, Projectiles & Shells) (K59-C-012) - never heard of K59, so, hopefully, the ammo cans look good
2 x MacOne Models 1/35 Plastic Water Bottles (MAC35600) - can never have too many water bottles
1 x AMMO by Mig Jimenez Encyclopedia of Armour Modelling Techniques - Vol.3 - Camouflages (English) (A.MIG-6152) - hopefully I'll learn something to improve my modelling skills
1 x ICM Models 1/72 WWII German Bomber Dornier Do 17Z-2 (ICM 72304) - to add to my 1/72 twin-engined bombers collection

Some additions this week...

1/35 CIWS Searam
1/35 Tamiya Stegosaurus

The latter will yield some horns to help decorate the former..... think the little known Scottish Clan MacMissile! ;) :wacko:

Two bottle of Revell painta clean and some plastic card.

Now picturing a Stegosaurus with a SeaRAM on its back.  ;D A different kind of self-propelled, I guess.....
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I hope you've got a LOT of wet and dry paper, there's over 40000 rivets to sand off!!!!!  :o :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Some interesting buys there  :thumbsup:

Particularly like the Yak 6 (never heard of it before) and the Soviet armoured train.

The new tool Airfix Brick that I'd ordered from Uncle Frank a month ago has *FINALLY* arrived, plus a KP Mraz M1C Sokol.  I went for teh one with teh Czech Air Police markings and it also comes with East German markings.  I'm tempted to use either on a Bf 108 produced post war by the DDR.

Oh, and a pair of sets of Quickboost Vampire intakes.  They're intended for the Airfix T11 but they'll do for the Xtrakit one instead.

What's meant to be wrong with the Airfix T11 intakes?

That's what Frank was asking earlier too.  We couldn't think of any, so I'll be using them on other things.

This Not so, i ordered online, the military Kits from modellbaukönig, the gundams from hobby search and the airplans from a collection reduction.

A few arrivals today after a bit of a dry spell.

From eBay-

Airfix 1/48 Gnat-planning another like my Gnat cruise missile in the Prototypes GB, but a manned version.

From the nice people at Hannants-

Airfix 1/48 Hunter F.4
HobbyBoss 1/48 Hawk 200
Model Decal 1/72 Hunters in the Senior Service decal set

Have to confess I thought the decals were 1/48.  My own mistake.  Might have to Whif up one of my Revell Hunters into a RN build.
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Made a similar error a few weeks ago. Ended up with a 1/32 scale set for a couple of Thunderbolts instead of 1/72. The stars and bars are enormous ! But my mistake I clicked the wrong button.
