My Stash Grew Again 2020

[zenrat]

Received yesterday, the High Planes Mirage 5F and a couple of resin French type IFR probes, directly from PJ productions in Belgium. Went to the LHS to buy 4 jars of Tamiya paint and a couple of Citadel detail brushes but, because i had to park my car further away than i normally do, i had to be rewarded by the enormous effort of walking a good 20/25 metres more so i brought the Airfix Stang...

I can appreciate that thinking.  Well done.
Although it appears you may have made a mistake and bought the wrong scale 'stang.

Arrived recently:
1/12 Bandai Star Wars R2-D2 and R5-D4, to be whiffed into R3-DU "Deuce" and R5-C4 "Boomer"

Had an eye on this combo, too, was recently on sale at ev!lbay at a good price. But I was able to resist!

Just snaffled a high planes 1/72nd scale  RB-57 D of someone  on Facebook.  Not a clue how good or bad the kit is so a bit of a gamble for me. I have one other high planes kit and that is of a Pantera and not attempted it as yet. Has anyone here  built  this kit?
Cheers

Yes.  I've made two of them.  They turned out quite well.  Not "shake and bake" of a Tamigawa kit but still worth the effort.

Just received that french made VC10 in 1/72 I had missed out on from big H. It is one godawful kit, but it's still the best game in town, so I'm a happy camper.

To spread the freight cost somewhat, I added a bunch of standard roundel/insignia decals (I never seem to have enough), a PV-2 Harpoon that will be more or less RW italian, I think, and a F-16I that I plan to frankenstein together with the Monogram F-16XL to create a fully modern twoseat Strike Eagle alternative. Can't decide on what language will be spoken in cockpit, though, but that will sort itself in due course.

No, it was no mistake... I want to build my favorite WWII birds in that scale, too. I've built one 1/72 Airfix Stang and i'd like to build another one in 1/48, just like i did with the Spitfire. I like both scales, 72nd for the size which allows for a greater number of kits on the display cabinets but 48th is for the detail so only a selected list in that scale. At present date, my stash is 118 in 1/72, 35 in 1/48, 3 in 1/32, 2 in 1/50 and 1 in 1/144 so i'm still more of 72 guy... although i do have plans for a few more in other scales and i do have a bigger 1/48 stock compared to my LHS...

From the eBay Fairy, HobbyBoss 1/48 FJ-4 Fury.

Looks a nice kit and pretty simple.  May build as a RW USN one with a nuke or it may end up in RAN or RCN markings.

Cheers, I am looking forward to getting it  now as I was a bit dubious of it to be honest . I am  in need of  some more  high altitude  snoopers for my RAF builds.

Amazon had them cheaper. Do they ship to Europe?

Also, purchased on ev!lbaye, 1× Airfix Series 1 Revenge and 1× Golden Hind. Thinking about a Mayflower, and using rod styrene to add guns. I wish Airfix would repop these because I want to wargame with them in fleet sizes. Did Airfix release any other English Razing galleons?

Arrived this morning from eBay

1 x 1/72 Airfix Buccaneer S.2C to be done sort of OOB while my previous kit becomes an S.1

How does it become an S1? Does someone already do a conversion kit for it?

[NARSES2]

and 1× Golden Hind.

Gawd, that brings back memories. Brilliant white plastic, a stand to pose it on and black "rubbery" plastic scrambling nets. I have a vague memory of an unsuccessful attempt to float one in the bath ? Not sure if the memory is an accurate one or not though ? Age you know

Aerocraft Models  www.aerocraftmodels.com do a couple of sets to convert the S.2 to an S.1 as well as a few other nice items.

Revell 1/144 MiG-25 Foxbat for some scale-o-rama mashing up with a part-built 1/72 Hawk T1 acquired some time ago from Nick.
