In the mail today was a lovely envelope form Hannants.
A set of Begemot decals for the Forger with russian and Ukrainian markings..i only want the Ukrainian ones anyway for my Harrier build..might be a weee problem tho..the roundels might be a little to big for a Harrier.
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 .

Picked up a couple of made models today..a 48th T-33 and what was supposed to be a 48th F-100D Super Sabre.
Well the Sabre is 72nd because the T-33 is massive compared to it .
Now im on the hunt again for a 48th F-100 Super Sabre again  and I don't care if it's built.. damaged or missing something..hopefully not the canopy..but yep know the hunt again..I have an idea 🤔 😉
Also scored a Hobbyboss King tiger in 35th on special on trademe..was $59 down to $42 👍

These came in today...



PJ F-35 pilot to be used on the Kittyhawk F-35C kit as i've read that the kit's figure doesn't fit in the seat very well.
The MD-500E set will be mixed with the other CMK AH-6J conversion set and an Academy kit.

Gondor, the Kora 109 is the AZ kit - I have the G-12AS and the plastic in that one is the AZ G.

And a small parcel arrived from Freightdog, containing the canopies for his TSR2 trainer conversion.

I said that tongue in cheek Lee as I have thirteen AZ Bf 109's in my stash so it was easy to tell they were the same.

Snaffled another Amodel Bf 19V31 off eBay. This was a prototype for the Me 309 but I think the wing will be better on a Kora 109G-12.  The one I have will go with either a K or G-10 fuselage.

Not something purchased recently but, rather, a back-order has come in, meaning this lot are on their way:

1 x Airfix Models 1/48 Westland Sea King HAS.1/HAS.5/HU.5 (AX11006) - this was the one I was waiting for, it will become a RW RAN Mk.5 variant
1 x DEF Model 1/35 German UNIMOG Lkw 2t Sagged Wheels Set for Revell kits #03020/03082 [5 wheels] (DEF-DW35046) - fairly sure I need a couple more of these
1 x ZLPLA 1/35 Girls in Action Series - Felicia [resin figure] (ZL-GM-006) - female figure suitable for modern/post-apocalyptic dioramas (that isn't too sexualised)
1 x ZLPLA 1/35 Girls in Action Series - Urbana [resin figure] (ZL-GM-021) - female figure suitable for modern/post-apocalyptic dioramas (that isn't too sexualised)
1 x ZLPLA 1/35 Girls In Action Series - Isadora [resin figure] (ZL-GM-035) - female figure suitable for modern/post-apocalyptic dioramas (that isn't too sexualised)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

As is that socking great rifle she's toting!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
