After seeing the lovely little Star Warsized MiG-37 on the "Whiffs Found Serving" page I was inspired to do something broadly similar, so today from the eBay Fairy;

Italeri 1/72 MiG-37 Ferret E

Hi guys ! Long time no see ! I'll post somat on my blog soon about the goings on.

In the meantime ( other than a load of 200 scale 3D stuff from shapeways :

Aurora box scale B-36. Says 1/184 and a bit of an old dog, but I wanted something to build on the road.
Aurora 1/72 AH-56A Cheyenne. Just something I've always been intrigued by and a model in 70's CAF colours would look great.
Roden 144 scale C-141 Starlifter. Probably end up RAF in the Falklands, in period camo.

I was at the RCAF Museum in Trenton, and spotted a CMK Beaufighter Merlin conversion set. I told myself to grab it or regret it. My only regret was opening it later on that day and realizing it was 1/48 scale lol. $8th scale is no fun to fly around the room, too big. But regardless, I now need a Tamiya 1/48 Beaufighter !

Airfix Mossie B.XVI just arrived.

Looks top notch in the box.  Small but comprehensive decal sheet, plus detailed instructions.

Looking forward to the Freightdog sets!

its been a while, but i placed a new online order for new kits:

-Platz 1/144 BAC Lightning F6 (2-pack)
-AFV Club 1/144 F4U Corsair
-Italeri 1/72 Fokker F27
-Special Hobby 1/72 SIAI-MARCHETTI SF-260EA/D/EU (LATE BULGED CANOPY)

Hmmm odd.  I just got one of them today.
2020 mould.  Looks good in the box.  Nice crisp transfers.

The Mosquito is nice but there are some disappointing bits.  The tailwheel is definitely wrong for a XVI, the pilot's seat should not have a cushion - he sat on his parachute - and the pilot himself is tiny.  Not quite sure of the undercarriage as it's handed when AFAIK it's the same on both sides to cut down on different parts. The wire guards on the legs are decidedly over scale and look clunky. And the cutouts for the drogues at the back do need fixing. I think I've a resin piece that may fit, so that may get moulded.

I'm curious to see if the canopy will fit the Tamiya kit so can finish that NF.XV. It also means I can do one with the longer wingtips and the Tamiya canopy as one of the guises of W4050.

Overall, nice but I'm reserving final judgement until it's built. I'll be doing a B.35 as I've some Freightdog decals I've been itching to use for a good decade.

I missed out on one - a mate got to it first.

Anyhow, eBay says I've won the Sword Lightning T-bird I was bidding on.

Big H emailed me to say that two LONG awaited (like 8 months!) kits have arrived and are heading westwards! 

One of my part completed Whiffs has been waiting for one of these for AGES!

You are aware that you've just put us all on needles by not disclosing what exactly is incoming?

That's right, I haven't. 

And there's been no mention of it on here previously either, and I have no WiP pics of it too.

Brings back memories of the cream coloured plastic it was moulded in for some reason ? Those Revell WWI types were a class above compared to other companies WWI types when they first came out.
