My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

[The Wooksta!]

Snaffled a few more things off eBay
Italeri Caproni CA 211 - inline engined version with the stepped nose. Spain
Heller Heinkel He 112B - one of several planned Yugoslav ones.  I do like the idea of a Persian one, but try getting hold of ww2 era Persian roundels...
Huma Klemm Kl 35 - possibly r/w Czech. Or possibly Spain.

Interesting, i won one of those on ebay yesterday...

[The Wooksta!]

I've several of the superior R/S kit, but the Heller one is easier to just throw together.
And Yugoslavia did look at buying the type, but vacillation on the part of the RLM scuppered the deal.

[The Wooksta!]

Forgot the Airmodel He 111B/F conversion I won last night.  That makes a G so much easier.  Still need to get some spare Ju 86E/K radial nacelles but I may have something else I can chop up.

At the London Model Show yesterday with Nick and Kitbasher    picked up a 1/48, yes 1/48 scale Airfix Hawker Sea Fury, a new razor saw and blades, some super glue and some reading matter. Got the 1/48 kit as I want to see if it's any easier to build given my various "conditions" ? We shall see 

Massive pub lunch, wonderful lamb, but I think I'm still trying to digest it, it was that big

I've also been looking at that kit so i may end up getting one.

Received today from The48ers...
1X Quinta Studios 1/48 F-20 cockpit set for Freedom models kit
1X CAT4 1/48 DEFA 30mm cannons for Ar... Portuguese A-4Ms...

TBH there's little to choose between the two. Heller is cheaper but RS has better detail, albeit fiddly,  and more recent boxings have injection canopies.  The cockpit is further forward in the Heller, but I'm not sure which is correct.

My advice?  Heller for a quick build, RS for detail.  Some boxings of the latter have a resin Jumo 210 engine for open cowl fun, and there are two further boxings for DB601 engined prototypes.

Chris welcome to the world of the right scale    
Will be much easier to build that's for certain..also means s ton more detail..pretty sure I've got a Sea Fury 🤔

Thanks, Lee! 
I have to decide if the RS kit will be worth what is being asked for it on ebay cause, to me, it's just one of those planes that i like but it's far from a favorite. I'll take a good look at the Heller kit and see if i really need another one.

[The Wooksta!]

Have ironically obtained another Heller He 112 on eBay... cackles maniacally, knowing the intended Yugoslav aircraft are now doable.  Just need two more for Finland and a Dutch example.

[PR19_Kit]

Got a re-directed parcel from the Big H today, with a new tool KP Spitfire PRXI (for an RW build) and an Eduard masking set for a Meteor T7.

The later should save LOTS of swearing for painting the Shrimp T3's canopy!

[The Wooksta!]

The postie just delivered a parcel from Airmodel in Germany (10 day turnaround, which is better than some UK eBay sellers can manage) containing a Ju 288 V-4 and a He 219B conversion.  The latter has longer outer wing panels and that's one component of an He 219 project I've been planning for a while.

Arrived today and bought for future projects.

Received today from BAM models in France, the anniversary special edition of the F-15SG conversion set. This one is for the Revell kit because the sets specific for the Academy kit are not available but i don't think that it's hard to adapt this to any other kit.
Worst case scenario is having to buy a Revell kit to use this on so, no big issue there.
