My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

[PR19_Kit]

I've got one of those Mistercraft Javelins too. It's a tad basic and seems to be an FAW7, so could be crosskitted with a FROG/Airfix FAW9 to produce some thing unique.

Gloster Javelin  I thought I was going in with my eyes open, considering Mistercraft's reputation. 

The Javelin    I bought it for kitbash fodder and even then, I might struggle to get something from it.

Astound us!   Get a high quality Javelin out of it!

Maybe, but not by building a Javelin from it. I've got other plans...

The surface on mine is really rough, but only on the upper surfaces, the lower are quite smooth.  Bizzare.

A Meng 1:72 ZTQ-15 light tank; will probably only receive a fictional new livery, I am inclined to make it a Finnish Army tank. 

With Finnish splinter camo Diz ??  👿

Yep. Very simple, but it should look very good and plausible - the ZTQ-15 was designed for forest warfare, so Finnland or Sweden make a lot of sense as operator.

A day off with SWMBO today led to a trip to pur closest good hobby shop.  An hour from home but also conveniently close to a record shop she wanted to visit.  I treated myself to a splurge.

AMT Naboo Starfighter
Tamiya 1/48 P-47 D

A LOT of paints and supplies.

Got some goodies today which wasn't expected.
Got two AFV Club sets ..a suspension set for the M3/M5 light tanks and the workable track set too..$20 for both..and I scored a set of Ammo airbrush stencils..for free 
All sets are brand new .

From the eBay Fairy...

1/48 Kinetic E-2C Hawkeye.  Likely to be Whiffed as an RN machine had the CATOBAR QE Class gone ahead.

That just might have been done, once or twice.. 

Longwing Javelin

That is a nice drawing.. 

Re the Mistercraft Javelin - I have one tooo, but bought it only for the slipper tanks, actually. Now - this dwg gives the rest a meaning, maybe..

[The Wooksta!]

Revised Sea Vixen wings (spare in the Frog/Novo kit) and Hunter tailplanes.  If you're starting with a Javelin, the intakes would need a slice taking out and I suspect that the forward fuselage would too.  TBH, I'd start with something other than a Javelin, as there'd be very little left by the time you'd be finished.

I don't know what it is with Gloster jets, but they always looked like clunky pieces of junk.
