1/72 Sword F3D-2 Skynight plus a couple of masking sets.

I don't know what the world is coming to, but that's 2 jets in 2 days    The Skynight is a re-issue but they've included an extra sprue (in a harder plastic) which has some more finely detailed parts on it, mostly for the cockpit but a couple of other areas. It also has a masking set which I didn't notice when I ordered the Peewit one    I plan on using this for the 50's GB, either FAA or Aeronvale.

There must be a fracture in space time. 

and the Aoshima  Airwolf   

Lovely kit.  One on my 'must get around to it' list.

From BNA I got some canopy masks.  All 1/72 bar the ekranoplan.
Academy B-17 F/G (I have the E kit, but surely most will fit).
Hasegawa Osprey.
Italeri Black Hawk (topical given this weeks ADF news).
Takom Lun.

Received some Hataka paint today

Israeli Air Force Paint Set (Early Period) as I have the eduard S-199 kit and I don't want to mix the colour.

Also got the Late Luftwaffe Paint Set only to find I already had it    Oh well, either spares or for someone else that really needs the colours.

I see nothing wrong with that, and that Skynight is a very good choice!   

So, last night i was looking at the stuff i have on my "next on the bench" list and decided i needed more 1/48 Portuguese Air Force modern markings so, from Superhobby in Poland i ordered:
1X - Model Maker 1/48 "F-16 in PoAF service"
2X - Master 1/48 A-1 Skyraider 20mm AN/M2 cannon barrels
1X - Master 1/48 Hawker Tempest 20mm Hispano Mk.V cannon barrels

And today, i went to my new LHS on a rescue mission and the victim was another Academy 1/48 F-15E i'd spotted there that had been gathering dust in the shop's shelf for way too long...



That makes it the 2nd F-15E and with the F-15C MSIP II kits, that's the last 1/48 F-15 kit i'll ever have to buy. I say "have to" because this kit was selling for 45€ and, considering all the goodies in the box like the quantity of modern weapons, 2 great pilot figures with choice of normal or JHMCS helmets, 1 pair of P&W and another of the GE engine nozzles... these parts may not be as good as resin/PE aftermarket products but they're good enough for me and if i was to buy each of those parts separately, i'd surely spend more than the 45€ i paid for the whole kit.

Also, when i got home and checked the email, AK's online shop sent me an add which somehow ended up with an MPM 1/72  FW190 V18 kit on order...

Chris, if you're feeling ambitious with the F3D, the F3D-3.

That looks so much better with swept surfaces.

I'm sure Dizzy did one

Does, doesn't it. Beyond me though. Must admit I'd had some thoughts about it becoming a night attack/interdiction type for the FAA rather than a nightfighter.

Do you have a spare Sabre you could hack about?
