My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

[Old Wombat]

Oh, and a 1/72 Kovozávody Prostějov (KP) Avia MB-200 (not boxed, in a sealed plastic zip-lock bag with, it looks like, all the parts) followed me home from the model shop when I went in to buy a bottle of water-based white acrylic paint.

I hope you'll give it a good home

Just received this 111z , it is absolut untouched and in sealed bags from 50 years ago, with the vintage oxygen in it .
One amazing aspect of this hobby is that there are thousands of old kits out there to find , i just bought one or two from a shop, the others are all from private second hand !  And i remember so many of them from the 70's .

Don't expect to build this like it is .

That's a wonderful thought. 

A short while ago I bought a rather special (for me....) slot car kit from eBay, and it too was totally sealed. It occurred to me that the air inside the box came from 1966!

Snaffled a pair of Airfix Dornier 17E kits off eBay.  One is likely to end up Spanish, t'other will possibly by RAF, a 2TAF comms hack.

Thats how covid got out of China, in those air bladders they use as packaging...

Did it go "England..clap, clap....England" when you opened it ?

Put yourself in THE BOOK for that one!

Shouldn't it be 'ENGELAND!'? It sounds like that when they shouted it anyway. 

Got a box of Hataka Blue Line RAF WWII Bomber camo paint today, destined for my F-35D build.

Some nice arrivals today...

From SprueBrothers:
1/72 Hasegawa Europe Weapons Set
1/48 Blue Angels "Casper" TA-4J decals
1/48 Airscale WW2 prop, WW2 cockpit, and modern cockpit placard decals. 

From nice Mr. Airfix:

2x1/48 Hunter FGA.9/GA.11 with commemorative coin. 

I have to give a little shoutout to Airfix over the Hunter.  I ordered them when I saw the Facebook notification that it was available, something like 50 hours ago.  And now they sit on my front porch an ocean away from Margate.  Pretty impressive.

eBay says I won the Bv 141 I was bidding on. Nice.

[PR19_Kit]

So it was YOU who beat me then! 

[The Wooksta!]

Doubt it, I was the only bidder.  Was yours the one with a photo top box?

Anyway, picked up some decals and paint from Uncle Frank, much of it for Spanish stuff, and Willie gave me a Classicplane Heinkel He 116B.   Very nice it is too, but not sure what I'll be doing with it.

Can't remember the photo, but I couldn't get a bid in before it timed out, the 'Confirm your bid' page took AGES to do anything.
