My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

[zenrat]

That F-4S Phantom is a little simplistic but a very good build with more detail than you'd expect. Your nephew's a good lad 

My thoughts after a quick grok.  Similar in simplicity (but maybe more detail) to the very old Hasegawa Phantom it joins in the stash.
Both are for whiffing and when I get to building an actual Phantom i'll find a Finemolds example.

Today the Wombat Stash grew by;

1 x Revell (RoG) 1/35 Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Ausf.A (03295)
1 x Revell (RoG) 1/35 Kanonenjagdpanzer BeobPz "Observation Version" (03276)
1 x Revell (RoG) 1/35 SPz Marder 1A3 (03261)



All for just a touch over half retail price & there's the extra bonus that SWMBO can't complain (too much) because it was she who sent me the FB MarketPlace link to the kits.

The kits are all, seemingly, flash-free & very nicely detailed on the sprues (Made in Poland) & in the bags. Biggest negatives are vinyl rubber-band tracks & wheels.

Obviously there's not much chance of them being RW (although I may have to do a side-by-side of this Revell kit & my AFV Club kit of the Sd. Kfz. 251 to see which is the better to do as a RW version).

What's she after ?     

Nah, good deal

These came today...



Got all i need for my next build, time to start cutting plastic...

[The Wooksta!]

The Series Espanola decals arrived today. Now, admittedly they are for 48th Spanish Harvards, which is odd as I care nothing for US aircraft and even less for 48th.  And the roundels are useless for my purposes as, as is the sheet I bought some months back,  they are post 1970.

But the numbers?  Different kettle of kettle of worms entirely.

And the ongoing mixing of splicing and spindling continues...

It's amazing sometimes where one can find some of the random stuff one needs...

1 x Airfix 1/72nd Avro Lancaster B Mk.l / MKlll ..never touched its I think a original rerelease.

That's a keeper!

2 x Airfix  Bofors gun and tractor sets ..one says OO scale and the other 1/72 ..both the same size...these will be up for grabs to you guys .

Why? I'm sure you could find something to add them to as "miscellaneous lumps & bumps".

Trust me the eyes have perused the parts and there's nothing I can use..their just to small so I would be quite happy to pass them on to folks who'll use em .

Well, the 40mm barrels come out to 26.67mm (close enough to 25mm) in 1/48

True true but one word I don't we can use is detailed 😁
In one of my small parts boxes is a M3 scout car..Airfix and it been jn there for years..never used any of its parts 🙃

[The Wooksta!]

Ordered some Spanish Condor and Ju 88 decals from Hannants, as well as some Kopro IL-10 markings. Need the Czech ones for a Bv P194.

The Airfix Morris Truck and Bofors gun is 1/76 scale.

That's a fair collection.  Are the built up ones done well?  Sometimes it's better if they are not as it makes it easier to break them up for whiffing purposes.

If you decide you want to move on the Polish Lancer then please let me know.

[NARSES2]

1 x Airfix 54mm Polish Lancer...1st Lancers of the guard 1815.

1 x Frog 3/8in scale 75mm Skysweeper antiaircraft gun .

The Polish Lancer is a nice figure, I've fond memories of it and you can always build it as a Dutch Lancer for a slight change. I think it's been or is being reissued. 

My brain also has memories of that Skysweeper AA gun, but back in the days when it was used as a toy.
