Incredibly the two 1/144 Mini Hobby SAAB HAS-39 Gripens that I ordered from AUSTRALIA on June 4th arrived TODAY!!!!! 

They're a bit squashed as the packing couldn't be called adequate, but the plastic is just fine. They're going to look really good, all in the green of the IAC, guzzling fuel from my KMD-11, when I finish it anyway.

Just received a package from the big yellow H containg

1 x 1/72 Hobby2000 Douglas OA-4M Skyhawk (Formerly the Fujimi kit) 72018 to become a TA4-K

1 x 1/72 Eduard TA-4J SS770 For the above Hobby2000 kit

Some what supprised that these arrived so quickly as a couple of days earlier I order another pair of the same Eduard sets which have yet to arrive.

From BNA Model World.

Panzer Art 1/35 T-28 & T-35 Mantlet with KT-28 Gun - Resin parts with a turned metal barrel.  To replace the shoddy plastic Hobby Boss barrel on the turret I am fitting to the Steyr Pushme-pullyou.
Panzer Art 1/35 BT-7 Up Armoured Turret (Odessa dockyard) - One piece resin turret with turned metal barrel.  Because it might come in handy at some point.   It's small enough to scaleorama to 1/48

As I was headding out early this afternoon I startled the post lady who was sorting out some post for me

1 x 1/72 Eduard TA-4J SS770 For the above Hobby2000 kit
1 x 1/72 Eduard A-4E SS750 For a Hobby2000 A-4E

Which are going into the two Fujimi Skyhawks I have for Israeli aircraft

The second package was a pre ordered  conversion set

This consists of a Forward Fuselage, Wing with drooped flaps, various other detail parts includeing a nose wheel and leg and several canopies, separate canopy parts in resin, vac-formed single peice and seperate canopies as well.

Hasegawa or Fujimi?  I was under the impression the H2K Skyhawks were the excellent Fujimi molds.  Is the OA different?

[AeroplaneDriver]

Couple of new additions today...

1/72 Airfix Phantom FG.1. On sale from the Bezos Sweatshop.  After building exclusively 1/48 for about 3 years I have really enjoyed my two latest builds, both new tool Airfix 1/72 jets.  Planning on this being a RW inflight build in RN colors to display beside my USN A-4B

1/48 Eduard L-39 Evolution.  Planned to be a What If Draken L-39 for the new Agressor contract for the UK MoD out of Teesside Airport.  Nice opportunity for some whif paint and markings before they inevitably show up looking dull as milk.

Your correct and I was wrong. This kit is definitely the Fujimi one reboxed.

Thanks to Chris for being the courier and Lee for kindly donating it to me, I now have an SR-71 in what looks like 1/288th scale.

I had quick look at it in the pub yesterday and it appears to be a snap together kit with some limited surface detail. It might sit well with the 1/300 XB-70 I already have. We shall see.

[The Wooksta!]

If you fancy another Valkyrie, there's one in the loft I want to dispose of.
