My stash just grew again 2021

[kitnut617]

Maybe because the most common 1/72 kit, the KP one, is plagued with ZILLIONS of auxiliary intakes all over the fuselage, every one a separate piece which has to be glued on! 

I never finished the one I had, some yonks ago now.

Kit, a quick review shows a nice fuselage, no excess intakes.  Basic, but very good, crisp mold.  Seems on par with a 1980's Airfix molds or so.  Think I found a nice MiG-19!

It's a 1970 release from Central (Sentraru Mokei) and is apparently very rare ​https://www.scalemates.com/kits/central-sentraru-mokei-ce202-mig-19-farmer-b--145605

It would be interesting to compare your Mig-19 with other kits to see if it is unique to Central or if the moulds turned up under another name like Bandai or Bilek.

Thank you Nick! Had never heard of this brand.  Seems like a make a good buy on the bargain shelf!

Central was only in business from 1969 to 1972 according to PAK.20 book.

Arrived today from eBay

2 x Pack Evergreen 103 0.010" x 0.060" plastic strip


2 x Pack Evergreen 131 0.030" x 0.030" plastic strip

I wasn't sure how much I would need to skin the roof of a Vulcan bomb bay so I bought two packs of each to go along with what I have in stock already.

P.S. That's a 1/72 scale Vulcan Bomb Bay not a 1:1 version

Fiberglass or aluminum would work better for that anyway

Got yesterday from Target (US Retailer)

1/??? Approx 1/160-1/200 Bandai Star Wars Razor Crest, admittedly should have purchased 2, lol! Anywho, there's debate on the Bandai modellers group about the scale and if it's a disappointment due to size. I have a Lego Minifigure scale Razor Crest and I LOVE the smaller Bandai one so far, regardless of scale.

Won on another FB group:

1/72 Heller Dewoitine D.520, fated to be Finnish.

From the same gentleman, working out a deal on these guys:

1/72 Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane Mk.I (Late, BoB)
1/72 Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane Mk.IID "Fox Hunter" which comes with the IIC wings. If I recall correctly, this specific kit got the wrong wings added and there was a big hullabaloo about it, in the community.
Pioneer 1/72 Horten Go-229, to become a RAN Gloster Devilray Mk.3
1/72 Hurri and RAAF/RAN decals

Only realised as I was putting the kits away (SWMBO must not find out!) that I already had one of the MB 35214 figures.

The LVT tracks look great but terrifying!

The Namer looks to be a beautiful piece of styrene engineering.

You can never have enough figures.

Snaffled on eBay: Tamiya Mosquito NF.XIII/XVII. Paid a tad more than I would usually, but it's getting harder to find.

Swooped up from Evilbay;

- Monogram 1/72 F-105G Thunderchief

- Monogram 1/72 F-4C/D Phantom

- Hasegawa 1/72 P-3C Orion

Cheap, and all from one seller, so saving on freight as well. Pretty happy - in particular those Thuds are getting harder to come by, and I got the Orion really, really cheap.

A couple of eBay deliveries this week...

Airfix 1/72 TSR.2-The Manga edition, but also with the parts and decals for standard RAF one.  Must say the Manga cockpit arrangement is...well just bizarre.  It does come with a honking big rocket though with some good whiffery potential. 

Eduard 1/48 Limited Edition Lysander.  I built a version of this kit last year, and it was nothing if not challenging, but I really like the end result and always loved the Lizzie so I couldnt resist this one at a good price.  Usually when they show up on eBay they are ridiculously priced, so when I saw this one for $33 I jumped on it.

..Must say the Manga cockpit arrangement is...well just bizarre. 

Agree. Having daughters, I'm almost offended. But the rockets are good whif raw material indeed.

I used to think that. Now? ... I'm not so sure.

You know she almost certainly knows already

Nope, or I'd be eyeballs deep in the manky stuff.

The Miles 52 I ordered form Gannett Scale Models has arrived and looks just as impressive in the resin. Also included was the 3/10 scale drone launched from a Mosquito.

But even better was the free test shot/prototype for his English Electric P.8. very nice it is too. I'll be putting up a proper review in due course.

From Hannants:

Eduard 1/72nd mask set for the Revell Hunter

RAFDec RF7213 decal sheet for 8 x 1/72nd Hunters plus a few miscellaneous squadron badges for other things (presumably to fill space on the sheet)

I got the decal sheet because I want earlier W-range serials for my FR.5, rather than the X-series ones in all the Hunter kits.
