My stash just grew again 2021

[The Wooksta!]

The Airfix fairy has been and left me a new tool Vulcan.  OOB with just a camouflage change - dark sea grey and dark green wraparound - for XM594. I have the relevant 44 Sqn markings elsewhere.

Just need Neil Gaunt at AIM to do the WE177 trolleys now. Think someone would need to do the bomb bay fuel overload tanks too.

from the avon show today a 1:72 airfix Tonka, it was going to be a raffle prize for the September  Womborne model show, ( one of several we picked up) but had no instructions, so ill keep it.
a 1:48 dragonbadger ( or is it Badgerdragon) Warrior / tracked Rapier conversion kit, and a 1:35 giant viper trailer
and a second hand 1:35 chally , so I can strip it for the bits that have broken / gone missing from my 30 year old versions and repair them... and then rebuild it into something, maybe a Jagchallenger

Also at the Avon show, a DDP Ford X-1 kit (it's a 1/24 car....) which I've been looking for for over TWENTY years and which I thought was long extinct, but there one was. And now I have it too!

From a very successful Avon show yesterday

A couple of the new Special Hobby Westland Whirlwinds in 1/72 were the highlights.

More important was the meeting of old friends.

Unexpectedly got a good deal on an ESCI 1:72 Hetzer kit at ev!lbay, to be (most probably) converted into a fictional light recce tank, a SdKfz. 140/1 with a different turret (still have a Luchs resin turret left in store...).

Kit spent the rest of the day drooling over said purchase.

He wouldn't reveal the purchase price bar saying its was very, very expensive...........

Indeed.

I thought the DDP resin kit was only released last year?
I want his Howmet TX but it ain't going to happen.

[PR19_Kit]

It was ANY kit of the X-1 I've been looking for.

There was a conversion set done by a US firm for the Fujimi Mk II kit that was on the market for a short while, but I never found one. I did get their conversion for the Heller Ferrari 512S to convert into Mark Donahue's 512 M though, and that's wonderful.

The DDP kit is the whole thing in resin, minus the engine, but I may graft a Fujimu Mk II 427 engine in there anyway.

A Revell 1:72 IAI Kfir (which is a re-boxed Italeri C.7 kit), maybe for the ongoing recce GB.

[Dizzyfugu]

A cheap Revell 1:144 Spaceship Two/Whiteknight Two combo for the body bank, and a vintage ESCI 1:72 M4 "Calliope" that will  donor its rocket launcher to a fictional German "Taifun" SAM battery from ev!lbay.
