My Stash Just Grew Again 2023

Phill, that Bandai BMW is somewhere in the region of 'Biggish', if that term means anything to you? 

Nice kit, but the boxing I had was showing it's age. Or maybe it was me not knowing too much about anything like that, back then...

And did I mention it's kind of 'Largeish'?

Fred mentioned once there is a shop in Oz where you can purchase the same sort of tubing by the metre... just in case.

Mate here's a shock for ya ..this is now the 4th one of these ive had ..3 bikes and one sidecar version..im extremely familiar with these.
The last one was a right wreck..missing multiple parts which I had to scratch build like the head light and handle bars ..it was missing the saddle bags so I turned it into a Cafe racer 
The Triumph is even bigger but tomorrow that's gonna be on its way to it's soonish to be new home

I've got a recent repop of the Italeri 1/9 Zundap KS750 combination in my stash.  That builds up to a fair sized model.

Eventually another ev!lbay win: a vintage Airfix 1:72 Provost T.5/BAC Strikemaster.

Earmarked to become part of the Guyana Defence Force Air Wing in the Seventies.

Having been looking for another Heller Lansen for a while, I have noticed that they've become a bit pricey. However, someone bundled a Lansen with an old Revell Catalina mk IIA and a Hasegawa weapons kit. Interestingly, that seemed to scare people off, so I got the lot for a song.

The question now is whether to build something out of that Catalina or just sell it on..

Just received in the post from eBay

1 x 1/72 Freightdog Models 72043 Hawker Hunter T.7 Improvement set.

If you can afford it, build the Catalina as a double act with your son; either OOB or with "embellishments"...........and post the results here, please.

That's not a bad kit Fred ...and as ya said..big ...at one point I wanted to build another R75/sidecar combo but I think common sense got the better of me   

[The Wooksta!]

Snaffled another Ju 290 on eBay, this being the later boxing with the glazed nose and Hs 293s.

Think I need one more 290...

Perhaps. I think I'll have to take him to the Air Force Museum to see the preserved one.

Just won a auction for a  set of 1/35 Trumpeter KV/IS/JS WWII Individual Track Links with pins.
All for $14 bucks..great stuff   

These are perfect for my JS2 ive got with crap flexible plastic tracks.

Which weapons set?  I can visualise a vietnam era Canberra strike gunship.

My Uncle had, in a display case in his lounge room, the Italeri 1/9 R75 BMW DAK combo and a same scale (Protar?) BMW racing sidecar.  I used to drool over them aa a kid.


I got one of these today from HLJ (their shipping sale made it a good price). Just a Nissan minivan but its got a good shape which called out to me.
And I do have a resin ZF transaxle and modern Hemi in my stash...

Friends of mine have a 1/1 scale one if those, they say its loads better than the Volkswaggon transporter they had.

With the Hemi in the back perhaps?

Shades of the Ford Transit Supervan series.

The X73-2 air-to-air set. But sure, a Catalina sporting AIM-120's..
