My stash just grew again. (2022)

[The Wooksta!]

Nice kit if a tad basic.

[Dizzyfugu]

Yup, but probably the best one you can get of this aircraft. At least the parts fit together well.

Arrived from sBay this morning

1 x 1/72 Xtradecal X046-72 Hawker Hunter F.6 12 Sqn, 56 Sqn, 63 Sqn, 79 Sqn/4FTS, 74 Sqn, 208 Sqn, 111 Sqn Black Arrows

1 x 1/72 Revell BAe Hawk T.1 04970: Bought because I mistakenly got two Red Arrows versions to use with the Freightdog T.2 set.

Yesterday from Uncle Frank
KP Hawker Tempest II - nice to see the parts for pretty much any in service Tempest are in the box.

And confession time.  I bought a Unicraft kit, based on the photos on the website.  Hawker P.1061.  Really ugly looking thing and the photos on his site showed something 3d printed.  Maybe he's eschewed his horrible resin and joined the 21st century?  No.  Just the master was 3D printed and then moulded and cast in his usual crap resin.  The smaller parts are frankly unusable, the seat is a copy of the old Frog ones from the 1960s FFS!  I maintain my stance on this conman.  Utter disappointment and at 40 notes, a very expensive one two.  Absolute parcel of dogturds.

I thought my stash was large at over 1000 at the last census, but it pales into nothingness besides OGL's, which is causing serious problems with sink holes appearing all over Northants! 

Not just Northants, but there have been reports of seismic events in Warwick's, Leicester, Rutland, Cambs', Bed's, Ox', Buck's and Linc's as well as half the other light infantry regiments in the British Army  Apparently the local office of the Government Disaster's Agency has to be informed every time there is a planned movement so as to put services on standby 

Indeed so.

Thanks for the laughs Chris.

I've won an MPM 1:72 He 100 kit at ev!lbay for EUR 10,-. Not bad, might end up in a standard RLM 70/71/65 Luftwaffe livery with a bigh waterline.

So Freestyle wings on the Arrow, and Arrow wings on the Freestyle?

[Wardukw]

Kit im thinking of a slight wiffy on a Vixen..i want to move the cockpit to the centre and make it a twin seater still but with the navvie behind the pilot.

Actually thinking of a Focke Wulf bubble top Pfeil using FW190 nose and Do 335 tail.  But probably using the Frog two seater in the stash rather than this one.

If I had the ability to cast copies of the Yak parts a Sea Vixen with lift engines and vectoring nozzles might be interesting...

Often wondered about a 335 with a bubble top style canopy myself

I've seen a three view of what is called the Do 435, which is similar, but I think the engines were radials, or possibly Jumo 222s.  Certainly it had a bubble canopy and the top decking was flat from the top of the engine back to the tail.

Parcel arrived from Alistair, comprising single and two seat P.8s and a DH Swallow. The latter is a simple shape so it'll likely end up as an observer's model.
