My stash just grew again 2021

[PR19_Kit]

Printscale - I know they are apparently hard to use but as bad as say Propagteam?

NO decals are as bad as Propagteam's!

Swordfish looks as good in the box as I expected (& I had high expectations for this one).

I've been tempted by this over the years. Does it come with the etched rigging set ?

[Old Wombat]

No, it doesn't!

You've just found the weak point in the kit! The instructions include the PE but the box states, in tiny letters on the lower right, "PHOTO-ETCHED PARTS SET, CEMENT AND PAINT NOT INCLUDED".

Obviously I wasn't expecting the paint or glue but, as some of the engine parts are also PE, the PE set would have been a nice inclusion!

Anyway, I've found it's in stock at BNA Model World, along with an Eduard colour PE set for the cockpit, so I've put them in the Shopping Cart to be added to ($150 purchase = free shipping! ).

[NARSES2]

Ah right. I've seen boxes on sale at shows both with and without etch rigging. Although I haven't actually seen that many of the kits up for sale.

Could not resist and ordered a reasonably-priced Bandai 1:12 Boba Fett model/figure from Japan - will be whiffed! 

The kit arrived today. Global postal services keep amazing me.

Not a kit but some bits for my Avro Kittleton.  Two sets of Master A-1 skyraider  20 mm shrouded  gun barrels, these are for the fuselage turrets  which will have 2 guns in each. The tail turret  which  will  also be  remotely operated  will have a pair of much longer  barrelled 20 mm cannons in it to give them a more effective range.

I do like those Hasegawa box arts from back in the day

Resin aftermarket sets with M2 0.5" machine guns and equipment boxes in 1:72 for tank conversions.

The Blackbird SEAC decal set arrived, one I'd duplicated, and lo - yet again - one of the two mosquitoes on the sheet is on another sheet. Does no one do any research to see if the option has been done before?  Clearly not.

Nice additions to the "Box Art" collection, Fred!

Just received an eBay win of

1 x 1/72 Matchbox BAe Hawk 200 which will be merged with an Italeri T-45 Goshawk to make a single seat naval version just like on Spinner's thread

Got that on my project list, too.

Nice!

Apart from the smallish vortex generators ahead of the stabilator, what visible difference is there between the two aircraft? In 1/72, many things are hidden by scale, such as marginally bigger in/outlets etc, so I'm honestly curious as I'm contemplating something similar, but maybe without the added cost of an Italeri kit..

The Eaglecal Mosquito decals have arrived and yet again, there are copies of kit markings. FFS, do these retards know that people do not buy aftermarket sheets if they want to build the kit options?
