Thanks Guy and this works out rather brilliantly..now this will give me the ability to build a twin Hurricane...haven't decided yet weather it will be a twin or single pilot bird...twin pilot would mean less work  ;D  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

From evil-bay.  A decal sheet for 1/144 Tu-134.  Windows and cheat lines to be used to create a bespoke scheme.

From HPM in Singapore (TBH I had forgotten they had moved there) their DAP Beaufort Mk V/VII conversion kit for the Airfix Beaufort.  Consists of engines, cowlings, nacelles and a few small parts.  Probably to be used to create a RW aircraft.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Another unexpected ebay find/win: a whif-in-a-box, a Unimodels 1:72 "Jagdpanzer 38(t) mit 7.5cm Pak 42 L/70", a fictional crossbreed of a Hetzer and a Jagdpanther with the gun from a Jagdpanzer IV/L70!



Quite high center of gravity, but it fits well into my Heer '46 collection and the price was too good to be ignored (any) longer.  :angel:

Yeah, they normally go for EUR 25,-, but I was able to snatch it for just EUR 13,-  :mellow:

Received today

1 x 1/72 Airfix A02109 Hawker Tempest Mk.V To be converted to a Mk.II just coz...

1 x 1/72 Hasegawa 02408 F-15EX Eagle II Bought so I could copy the bit's that make it an EX rather than an E as those parts are used with a couple of other variants.

Going offroad with this thing or even turning tight corners should have been interesting, too... The kit is nice, though. Tne casemate is a bolt-on resin piece, and there's a vast PE sheet which includes wire mesh side skirts. Now I know why it's normally so expensive!

Again from Evil-Bay, something to scratch the Italian Trimotor itch.

CANT Z.506 Airone by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr

A cursory inspection (through the bag) seems to show that fully upgrading the moulds consisting of replacing raised detail with engraved panel lines where appropriate.
Italeri supply a small PE fret and I suspect the transfers are by Cartograph.
The previous owner had obtained a Yahu instrument panel.
No ideas yet although it could look good in IJN colours.

That CANT looks nice. I've not seen that boxing before. I need to keep my eyes open for that "Fully Upgraded Moulds" logo if Italeri are upgrading their moulds

The Yahu instrument panel is always a nice addition  :thumbsup:

Can you say ..imbalanced much?? ...since it's got Resin and PE and it's 72nd scale..yeah you can see why it's so expensive for it's size..basically it's a total wiffy so custom made everything..yah not cheap.

From the eBay Fairy...

1/48 Eduard Spitfire F.22/24-The superb Airfix kit repackaged with Eduard resin, PE, and paint mask, brand new in sealed box. All for what I thought was a very reasonable price of $27

1/48 Max Decal Irish Air Corps 1922-1997 decals.  Hard to find, but after the IAC conversation on the Ideas thread I checked just in case and found one! 

1/48 Hobbycraft Avro CF-100.  Mentioned here a few days ago, arrived today.  Earmarked for the 50s GB. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

I think quite a few of us could have use for that information, Alistair, so a detailed project thread, perhaps? 😉
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
