Been in a bit of a Modeling lull recently but decided to jump on the bandwagon and got a Great Wall MiG-29.  Looks like an absolutely lovely kit. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Snagged a pair of built up Venoms on ebay - Frog/Novo Sea Venom and a Rareplanes Venom FB4.  Also got a micey Russian kit of an La-15.  Sure I had one but don't know what happened to it.

A small care package arrived from Alistair yesterday, comprising two Blue Water missiles for my SR187 Thunderbird FG2, a 48th Astronaut, two Robbie the Robot figures, and some gash DH117 bits to replace the goushed u/c on mine.

Received from eBay today

1 x 1/72 Xtradecal X72-047 Hawker Hunter F. Mk 9/FR10 as I have an FR 10 slowly on the go at the moment and wanted to use the 4 Squadron markings, my other set got used on a P.1121.

Won on ebay:
Novo Fairey Delta II
Novo Percival Proctor.  This will be getting two engines, similar to Dave's, but will be RAF.  Possibly a post war 607 Sqn hack.

Won this weekend, on a FB group:

HobbyBoss 1/72 Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat

I gave away the decals to someone who didn't have them, as I've got plenty and I'm doing a bird from the Lady Lex during the Battle of the Coral Sea.

Well, this whole "modelling co-worker/mate" thing is nice but i feel it won't be good for my bank account...
He asked me for advice on masking tape because he only had a cheap type which had left glue residue on a model.
I obviously told him about the tapes i know of that don't do that and he asked me where he could find them.
I did have plans for ordering a kit so i went on the Warkit store site and ordered 3 sizes of Vallejo masking tape and the kit i wanted... and a few more came along for company. :rolleyes: ;D

Whilst killing time waiting to pick up my wife from the Adelaide CBD, I stopped in at a LHS near the city.

Just looking! Promise! :thumbsup:

Well, anyway, somehow a 1/72 Airfix Vulcan B.2 snuck into the back of the Navara & came home with me. Seriously, I've absolutely no idea how it got in there! :angel:

Nice selection  :thumbsup:

Meanwhile a box arrived from the Big H which contained a new tool Airfix Tempest, KP Tempest II and a large box which is for onward shipping  :angel:

Will probably work on the Tempests together so as to compare and contrast

I wanted the MPM kit for a conversion so it will probably donate parts for another build. Either that one or the Brengun kit i also want to buy.
Also been looking at those Tempest kits... may end up getting one or two... :rolleyes: :mellow:
And the one i received in that box made my stash count go over 200 kits... this has to stop...  :angel: :wacko:

Well said that man.  :thumbsup:

My stash currently stands at 460 and I consider myself as small fry compared to some both in this forum and else where.

I also have 45 started projects, and numerous kits with bits removed for various reasons.
Resin and VacForm conversion, don't even ask.

It makes me feel comfortable.  :rolleyes: :wacko:

Over kill is often very understated .
