My stash just grew again. (2022)

.  I'll replace it with something from the engines box.  Small block Chevy or early Hemi maybe.

To modify a line from Tool Time, "A GM or Dodge donk in a Ford? Good thing you don't live in Detriot. That's pretty much a Felony, there."

But I like the way you think... 

Its not a Ford.  It's  Kaiser.  The "ford" engine would have been installed when it was being turned into a Gasser.

Oops, my bad - in my defense, it was a (very) quick message posted before the computer time expired at the library, and on a quick inspection looked like a 50's Victoria... I shall do some penance by gazing at pictures of old autos...

That's pleasure not penance.  Penance would be gazing at pictures of modern downmarket Asian SUVs.

Or modern SUVs in general.  Friday, I saw a new Grand Wagoneer in the wild.  And it looked like a Chevy Tahoe/Suburban with more chrome.  Fiat Chrysler could have at least taken some styling cues from the original.

The latest Land Rover Discoverys are a masterpiece of ugliness.  Especially from behind.  I find it hard not vomit when following one.
But for bad design you can'r beat Kia/Hyundai/Haval/Great Wall etc.

I did find myself looking at the front of a Lexus SUV today thinking "that egg timer grille design isn't bad".  I've booked a brain scan for tomorrow to check it's still in there as i'm now worried it's been removed.  Could be the result of concussion.  I did walk into a low branch on Satyrday and nearly knock myself out.  Again.

Decals for my Belgian all weather fighter wing DeHavilland DH117 arrived today courtesy of kitbasher (thank you!)

Excitement about getting a bench back actually building kits continues to grow

I find they look like the new Broncos Ford is churning out.  Which leads me to wonder if the new Bronco rusts out as badly as the original

Same branch ?

Club night and was given a box of assembled and finished US stuff sans wheels.  I have ZERO interest in anything american but took them as potential scratchbodge fodder.
The box comprised:
Airfix Banshee - repaint as either RN or RAN
Airfix Skyray - that is getting passed on
Hasegawa Panther - repaint as that CAC project that looks very simiar
Unknown P51B Mustang, probably Airfix.  That's getting passed on.

The Banshee did give me an idea for a potential reusre of the fuselage for a Hawker project. P.1048 I think.

A Banshee fuselage, with some reworking, is about right for the P.1048. The rest is doable from a set of Novo Sea Hawk wings and tailplanes, a Hasegawa Mohawk centre section, a Swift nose and some 3d printed engines, which are also useful for a P.1056.
The Skyray has also provided the tip tanks for the stretched DH110 proposed for GOR.339.

No, it has a degree in computer science!

Delivery from Airfix today a Sea Harrier FRS.1 and their Aircraft Mystery box which turned out to be the E.E Lightning F.2A Starter set, Spitfire Vc and P-51D Mustang

From Hobbylinc, Kinetic 1/48 M-346. 

Seems a lovely little kit and typical of Kinetic comes loaded with lots of stores and M-346 would never carry like AMRAAMs. 

I bought this one specifically to end up as an Irish Air FORCE aircraft after Alenia proposed it as a solution to Ireland's recent recognized need for an air defence aircraft. 

I still think F-16s, Gripens, or Typhoons are more likely if it ever happens but I like the idea of this Whif.

1 x 1/72 Aeroclub XA1 Canberra Nose Conversion kit.

Is that the one for the goldfish bowl cockpit Airfix B6?

If so, it's a ZINGER of a conversion kit, and I'm amazed you found one!

Yes it is and so am I.

I have Aeroclub as a search on eBay and get daily updates of the newest addition to the site. I only had to bid twice getting it for £16 which I think is a fair price if not slightly cheap considering what it is.
