From the Big Yellow H today

1 x 1/72 Avalon 7028 Mirage III in IAF/IDF Service

Is that the Avalon decals or a model?

$2 op-shop find today, Revell P-3A Orion, not that many parts to it but surprisingly all of them are in the box.  The instructions say it's 1:144 and scalemates say it's 1:115 but I don't care which it is as I'll probably end up scalorama'ing it or using it for part's anyway.

Good find.  I have yet to ever find a model kit in an Op Shop.

I have on occasion, but not very often.
You'd probably have to keep doing the rounds regularly, or put your name down for any that come in - if they'd do that.

In the distant past I've found a few kit's but even if they were marked as complete they were always missing part's, recently (last 2 years) SWMBO and I go around all the local shops almost daily and from that I've managed to pick up a 1:48 F-111 (Academy I think), 1:72 IDEA F-18, 1:72 Revell Dr.1 and today's Orion, out of those only the Dr.1 is missing one part, happens to be the cowl so it would be quite noticeably absent if built oob.

Good scores. 
Would starting with a round figure base and extending the edge to the rear with  a section of tube, while cutting away part of the flat front be a useful idea?

From The Wooksta's spares box some Spitfire props and bits landed in here yesterday.

Cheers!

Good suggestion Rick but if I build it as the intended Triplane I'd like to put a inline engine into it instead of the rotary anyhow, but it's much more likely that I'll be pinching the upper wing, tail group and wheel's for an idea I've had for a scratch built 80's styled ultralight.

Sort of like a Dr.1/D.VII combination? Interesting.

The ultralight sounds intriguing too.

That combo is exactly what I had in mind 

And the ultralight is something I wanted to build full size, I brought a set of plans for a Tyro Mk2 and was going to add scallops to the wing trailing edge and change the shapes of the tail and pod to make it look Fokker-ish, doubt I'll ever get around to doing the full size now though but a similar shaped model is doable.

Received from BNA Model World yesterday;

1 x D-Toys 1/35 L7A2 105mm Metal Barrel for IDF Tiran/Centurion/M48/M60/Chieftain kit (DT35M-014) - not sure if I'll put this on the Shot Kal or one of my 20-pounder RAAC Centurions
1 x AFV Club 1/35 Israeli Defence Force/IDF Centurion Shot Kal 1973 (AFV-AF35124) - will end up in the Royal Australian Marines
1 x Jason Studio 1/35 US Tank Crew Helmet (3pcs) (JAS-35001) - 3-D printed product from a brand I've not heard of before, look pretty good in the little plastic clip-lock case they come in
1 x Jason Studio 1/35 US Military Bulletproof Vest (2pcs) (JAS-35002) - 3-D printed product from a brand I've not heard of before, look pretty good in the little plastic clip-lock case they come in

1 x Alexen Model Skull Stencil (Masking) Stencil (Masking) for 1/32, 1/35 Scale Models (80x50mm) (ALE-AJ0040) - another brand I'd not heard of but there are 26 different "skull" type stencils in the pack

4 x Live Resin 1/35 7.62 High Flexible Feed Chute (4 sets) (LRE35216) - because they're damned useful!

Sounds more interesting...

Yet another Mikro-Mir kit (I must be mad....) a 1/144 Beverley kit.

Actually the MM Bev seems to have been designed and moulded by a different company to the one that did the Aerovan and the AW52.
