My Stash Grew Again 2020

From the eBay Fairy:

1/48 Tamiya F-84G "Thunderbirds" boxing.  Wondering if the decals will lend themselves to an F-86D...? 

From the Amazon Gnome

1/48 Kitty Hawk Dauphin II.  First Helo in MANY years...plan is for it to be an RN planeguard aboard HMS Queen Liz.  The RN will be buying 8 Dauphins to serve as general utility helicopters to ease the burden on the small Wildcat and Merlin fleets.  Commonality with the 6 already serving with the AAC was a prime driver in the decision.

Excellent idea.

From Hobbycraft Stockport (cos Waltons Models in Altrincham was shut) a Revell (ex-Matchbox) Twin Otter.  Had one (and gave away to the kid next door) 20-odd years ago but have never built one before.

OOB CAF version.  Need a quick build.

Ordered an Airfix 1:72 HS.125 Dominie, considering a conversion as a maritime recce aircraft with some antenna bulges.

Inspired by the Japanese U-125s and the South Korean Hawker 800s perhaps?

Just snaffled another set of those brass Vulcan exhausts.

No, just an unspecific idea. Not settled upon any details or an operator.

Also should have mentioned the CMK Spitfire mk IXc I got on ebay a few days back.  One of the older ones, possibly based on the KP kit.  More as an when it arrives.

Unfortunately I lost out on the mk XII that was with it, but I've a feeling that was a basis for the vile abortion that was the Merlin kit so possibly no loss at all.

Trust me, they're worth it!  The one set I do have look fantastic.

That would work.

[Dizzyfugu]

A Revell 1:72 M109G howitzer - primarily as a donor bank for a potential further "Prototypes" GB build.

[Howard of Effingham]

Some 1/48 Aztec South American Canberra decals from my friend Andy.

Going to have some fun with these......
