Thems kitss are like Rocking Horse doo-doo now - and a lot of them were nice kits, too.  :thumbsup:

Had no idea those were rare Rick ..fact it's not an aircraft ive ever had and if me mate hadn't offered I wouldn't have looked twice at it ..the F-5 isn't my sort of bird really.
Oh well I'll think of something to do with it 🤔 😏
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 .

ESCI have been like the dodo for years now.
Sad, as they had some interesting stuff - but some of it is being repopped by Italeri, so all is not lost.
The boxes are probably worth something, if you can find the market for them.

We live in the country where collectable items come to die ..mate Tony used to collect coke cola stuff..all of his best stuff came from overseas...now he's sending back overseas 😆
Even tho tho..when I buy a model ..zero intention of selling it again.
Oh had a wee idea for the F-5  ;)
Very likely one of my Mirage llls is gonna get munted  :wacko:

Should be on their way on Monday;

1 x Hobby Boss 1/35 Jackal 2 High Mobility Weapon Platform (HB 84521)
1 x Hobby Boss 1/35 Land Rover RSOV w/MK 19 Grenade Launcher (HB 82449)
1 x Panzer Art 1/35 Chevrolet G7107 Road Wheels [Goodyear] (RE35-701) - had 2 in the cart but, by the time I went to pay for them, there was only 1 set left
1 x Panzer Art 1/35 British Ammo Boxes for Caliber 0.303 Ammo [Wooden Pattern] (RE35-367) - wanted 2 sets but I was trying to keep the costs down, so non-essentials took a hit
1 x Panzer Art 1/35 British Ammo Boxes for Caliber 0.303 Ammo [Metal Pattern, 6pcs] (RE35-369) - wanted 2 sets but I was trying to keep the costs down, so non-essentials took a hit
2 x Panzer Art 1/35 Wheels for ASLAV-25 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (RE35-179) - for my 2 ASLAV variants
1 x Panzer Art 1/35 Road Wheels for WWII British Armoured Car "Staghound" [4pcs] (RE35-006) - I know I have one in the Shed Sub-Stash, somewhere
1 x Panzer Art 1/35 1/35 British RAC Officer in North Africa/Italy (FI35-045)

There were a number of kits dumped from this order for fiscal reasons, including an 1/72 Airfix Consolidated B-24H Liberator.

They will probably appear in a later order.

The Chaos

New at my stash. Bought the most of them from ebay.

From Jays Hobbies, 3X sheets of Old Models Decals 1/72 Mosquito stencils.
These are now integrated with the main sheets, but they were having to get some for the old sheets they had that didn't have them, so I asked if I could get some also.
Managed to swing it, so a very happy camper.

As a side note, they are trying to get the manufacturer to see there is a market for the stencil sheet only, so if anyone else is interested, a request to them might bear fruit.
But probably not in the very short-term.

Just shows that it's always worth asking  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Agreed.  Worst that can happen is people say no.

Wanted that for a long time, but prices are not nice for them with transport from overseas. Found one here on eBay.  I have build that at the age of 10 around 1976 . 

Will be funny to see the faces of the buddies at the next club meeting when i start with that 😜.
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep .
Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

I have one in the Wombat Stash - it will be built, as a tribute to my last Seal Point Siamese cat (who died about 10 years ago, now).

Her name? Katyusha Katova ;D



PS: So, what's Claus' surname? von Nordpol? :unsure:  ;)
