HeritageCon 2023 Haul - here we grow again!

[Faust]

A great spring tradition here in Ontario is the HeritageCon model show in Hamilton's Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. This year's show was the biggest ever, with more than 1000 kits on display! Of course, a model show wouldn't be complete without a vendor's room, and it's not a surprise that I tucked into multiple helpings of old and interesting kits, as well as managing to find some newer and nicer ones as well!

Part of my yearly pilgrimage to Hamilton includes doing a hobby shop run in the area, so that helped with the count of kits procured, even if it wasn't exactly what my wallet wanted to hear!

Check out this year's score for an odd mix of new and old, advanced and bare-bones, Eastern and Western. When you're done, there's a poll so you can vote for your top two favourites – I'll review the winner first!

I go for the Merlin Mustang prototype.

Okay, voted - nice haul.

I agree about the Northrop N-3PB. On paper it's nothing to write home about, but it has style... . I bought one a while back: tentative thought is to have it in post-war service with a 3rd world operator as a COIN aircraft in a bush war that features lots of river and lakes.

Decent buys apart from the Matchbox Mustang.  The Tunnan is okay as whiff fodder.

Nice haul ! I have to get up there for that show one of these days. Where's the B-One review ? I'd love to get a hold of that kit myself.
