Yes, and it's just begging to have a planing hull on the underside.  ;D  :wacko:

Just say it's 1/48 or 1/72 and pose it with suitable figures ?  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

An envelope from the Big H dropped through the letter box yesterday (Tuesday) various assorted canopy masks and a couple of Yahu instrument panels. Only ordered on Sunday, so can't complain.

Managed to win a Matchbox 1/72 Helldiver/Cleveland on evilbay. Have to say, the Matchbox solution for the fuselage struts on their biplanes has yet to be better IMO.

After a visit yesterday at my FLHS I came away with a can of Tamiya's TS-47 Chrome Yellow.
A Tamiya 400 grit foam sanding pad..love these and two already badly built pickup trucks .
Both are 24th/25th scale and no ideas about the brands either..ones a Ford Bronco and the other is a K5 Chev Blazer  ;D

A large box arrived from Hobby Link Japan courtesy of the low value of the yen.

1/25 Aoshima Enkei Dish wheels 15".  These are five slot mag wheels.  My favourite wheels for rods and street machines.  Nice big fat tyres are included.  Upon seeing them in the flesh I immediately went back and bought more.
1/72 Hasegawa Nakajima B5N2.
1/72 Hasegawa SH-60B Seahawk.  Will probably get a RAN paint job, but not a RW one.
1/72 Hasegawa Europe Aircraft Weapon Set.
1/12 Aoshima Kawasaki KZ1000 Custom.  I used to knock about with a bloke who had one of these.  I lusted after it big time.  This will be built as I remember it.
1/25 Hasegawa Toyota GT2000 Super Detail.  This is awesome.  A full detail (normally they are kerbside) kit which contains a secondary box labelled Detail Parts.  Inside that are resin engine bay panels, PE, 3D printed bonnet underside, and a white metal engine.  Mmmmmm, it was very hard to put this away and not tear into it.

I think i hit HLJ at the right time as the yen is improving slightly.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.
