My stash just grew again. (2022)

[McColm]

I went to the food bank in Welling Kent yesterday and found this kit, bargain at £1.

It says no glue or paint required in the instructions
I added the door mirrors but I never new that The Saint's car had tinted rear lenses. I will paint the necessary parts to make it look like the photos on the box and keep the decals until I can buy another kit with clear lenses.


Revell did the Avengers 'Gambit's Jaguar XJS ' with a red bodyshell and the same parts.

An excellent find.

An excellent find. 

Thanks PR19 Kit,  I could change the number plate to read ST IG.

Good score Mac.


I received another KP Tempest today.  This time an F.6 "Silver Wings".  On initial examinationIt looks to be identical to the F.2 kit.

We did tell you...

[zenrat]

Not a complaint Lee, an observation.  Confirmation if you like.

[The Wooksta!]

I'm curious to know if that nose fits the Matchbox kit - yes, I know it has a Centaurus anyway, but it's always felt a bit too chunky.

[zenrat]

Can't help you as I don't have an example of the Matchbox kit.  They go for more than I am prepared to pay.  Mind you, prices should drop now a modern alternative is available.  I'd like one purely for nostalgia reasons as one of my very early whiffs as a youth was a gloss lime green butterfly tailed jet powered Matchbox Tempest.
I do have an Academy Mk V.
Any point in putting a KP Centaurus nose on an Airfix Mk V?

You'd need to sort the wing radiators, but the Airfix kit is a nice build, of a early model Mk V, and you'd obviously have to remove the Sabre. As far as fit goes, I've no idea ?

I don't see the point.  I mean, if you've the engine spare and want another Tempest II, but you've got to do a cut and shut, plus sorting out the radiators.  Why not just get another KP one but with different decals?  There's no real price benefit either.

Nice to have a decent looking T39/Sabreliner kit at last.

Also a couple of etched brass sets for the 1/72 He115 floatplane [Revell but will fit the Matchbox kit that I have]

[AeroplaneDriver]

Ok absolute last Birthday prezzie model...to myself. A day out today found us 5 mins from a fairly local shop that has had a very stagnant selection for two years.  Stopped in today to find a LOT of new stock.

Managed to talk myself into a new tool Airfix Bucc. The RAF boxing.

[Gondor]

Got home to find that the postie had left a parcle with a neighbour 

Inside the box was

2 x 1/72 Special hobby 100-SS024 DH Sea Vixen FAW1 Simple Set. So two early Sea Vixens without decals but so what! One may well become real word while the other will not

What is this Real World of which you speak??

Got a Testors S.6B Saturday from the Hospice shop floats to a Gladiator. Today a 1/48 Whirlwind fighter arrived as a part-ex, not very good replica but a pair of Merlins will sort that out.....
