My stash just grew again. (2022)

[Old Wombat]

I guess I'm making up for Pellson, my purchasing has ventured into the ridiculous, lately!

- Picked up on Monday;

1 x Meng Models 1/35 German Main Battle Tank Leopard 2A4 (MENG-TS016) - will be Czech, hopefully while it's still a whif
1 x Tamiya Models 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate Frank Army Type 4 Fighter (TM 61013) - for the RW 1/48 single-engine fighter collection
2 x Barracuda 1/48 Australian Spitfire Five Slot Z-Block Mainwheels for Eduard/Airfix/Tamiya kits (BAR BR-48446) - for the 2 x Spitfires I have in the stash
1 x Tamiya Models 1/48 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat (TM 61034) - not sure if I'm going RW with this or whif RAN/RAM
6 x Tamiya Models Fine Surface Primer L - Light Gray 180ml Spray Can (TM 87064) - I go through a lot of this stuff & it's rather difficult to acquire here in Adelaide
2 x Tamiya Models Extra-Thin Cement (TM 87038) - I'm running low & I decided I'd stock up while putting in this order rather than go to the nearest hobby shop that stocks it
1 x Tamiya Models Extra-Thin Cement (Quick-Setting) 40ml (TM 87182) - haven't seen this cement before, decided I'd give it a go

- Collected today;

1 x Airfix Models 1/72 Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV Fighter *Pre-Order (AX04017)
1 x Airfix Models 1/72 De Havilland Mosquito (AX04023)

...i brought a cheap as chips Revell 25th scale Corvette yesterday..not idea why but got me heart going so all good 

Which one?

[The Wooksta!]

Just snaffled some Aeroclub bang seats for Hunters off eBay for a reasonable price.

[NARSES2]

Arrived from the Big H this morning



AZ Me 109 K-6. I like the AZ 109's and this boxing provides 3 What If markings options, or "Alternative Markings" as they term them
Peewit mask for Tempest Mk II
Yahu P-40K/M Kittyhawk III instrument panel
Yahu Fw 190 D Instrument Panel
Yahu Mustang III (P51 B/C) instrument panel

I like the Yahu instrument panels. They provide a relatively cheap, one stop option for a quick cockpit upgrade.

[The Wooksta!]

More discoveries.  A built Avro Arrow I have no recollection of, a boxful of my bootleg TSR2 bits and the masters, two sets of the extra fuel tanks and what looks like a set of small underwing tanks with the extended nose gear.  A set of bits for a BAe P.1216 from Renegade Resins, some poor castings from an abortive attempt to copy the Maintrack Hawker P.1121, some Airkit Hunter bits (GA11 and F1-5), what was going to be a T-tail Hunter, and finally, best of all and I have been searching for it for months, a Hawker P.1129.

There was other stuff too, but that's what was dragged out.

This will keep me busy for a while. The two P.1121s are going to be the twin seat naval ones, the dark scheme will hide a lot of flaws.

The P.1129 sounds nice and I also have plans for a Naval P.1121 which I intend to do as per Luchiano's painting from the Project Tech Profiles book

I've not built a C4.  Revell big block C3s are nice though.

[Wardukw]

Ya know Fred this C4 is the only or was the only corvette of any kind on our trademe website and being US revell this kit really is nothing  to write home about .
The body looks ok but the tires are crap ..pretty much unusable and the all the molds are not very sharp but with a crap load of work it could be turned into something good.

Two eBay acquisitions arrived this weekend. 

Trumpeter 1/72 Gannet AS.1/4
Hasegawa 1/48 Lear 35.

No solid plans for either yet. Just good deals I managed to snap up. 

[Gondor]

Arrived today from eBay

1 x 00 Airfix Harrow 04652-7

This will be whiffed as either Fettes or Gordonstoun and of course the colour needs to be right and that will arrive from Upstairs Downstairs at some time with another pair of Locos'

Decisions! Decisions!

[PR19_Kit]

I like the ones with the big 'NAVY' on the wing tanks. 

I looked them up on Wiki and came up with zilch, apparently Wiki doesn't know about them. 

Were they to train Skyhawk pilots?
