My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

Darn.

A cheap vintage KP 1:72 Avia B.35 fighter, which will lose its engine as a donor for a different aircraft, and the B.35 will later become a(nother) whiffy "Supermarine Swallow", with a Merlin engine and a retractable landing gear from a Spitfire, probably as a PR variant. 

...and as a complement a cheap Revell 1:72 Spitfire Mk.V (2008 mould) via ev!lbay as a Merlin and landing gear donor bank.

A huge surprise today..we had mail !!!
On a Sunday !!
Because of the road closures and the nearly 4 days cut off mail must have been over flowing .
So today I got my Kinetic 1/48th RQ-4B Global Hawk and it's lovely and it won't be long before I attack this

My club had it's "after Christmas" party tonight. There was a great raffle and nearly everyone walked out with two kits. I ended up with a 1/48th scale Hobby Boss FM-1 Wildcat and a 1/72nd Revell Razor Crest. Now I have to figure out how to get that metallic finish on the Razor Crest. Spray can silver isn't going to cut it.

SWMBO and I did our monthly exploration of local antique and second hand shops today where I stumbled upon a Monogram 1/72 B-36 Peacemaker, original 1980 issue in a sealed, unopened box.  No real interest in building it, but for $45 it seemed too goo to pass up.  It will likely end up on eBay unless anyone here needs it.  If so message me.

I thought the Monogram kit was the Convair B-36 Peacemaker, the XB-46 is the Anigrand kit.

I'd love another B36 ..it's a very big model but postage from anywhere on the US side of the planet is ridiculously expensive which is bloody annoying to say the least.

"Accidently" won a very cheap Revell 1:72 Spitfire Mk. V via ev!lbay - was dead cheap, and I remained the only bidder. Well, stash fodder....

Ah, that "i just have to give it the benefit of doubt" bid.. 😁

I'm got myself a Polish repop of the old Frog Gloster Javelin FAW.7/9. Mainly to source fuselage tanks for another build but there are a few good general spares in there too. Or I just build it as is. 

[Dizzyfugu]

Well, the usual story: searching for a cheap Spitfire as conversion donor for a (near) future conversion I placed the bid, but then found an even cheaper specimen, bought it, and noone else made a higher bid for the initial Spitfire... That's how stashes keep growing, but at least I did not spend much money on both.
