My stash just grew again 2024

[The Wooksta!]

Focke Wulf Friday at Uncle Frank's with the following:

Kora Ta 152S-2 x 2
Kora Ta 152E-1 x 2 (one is likely to become a Ta 152A-2)
IBG Fw 190D-9/D-11 double pack.  Comes with a second wing upper with outer cannon and underwing R4M unguided missiles.

There's a pay dispute going on with the dock workers.  They could be caught up in that.

That takes me back a few years, at least to the 50/60/70's here in the UK

Got a message to pick up a parcel from my local Argos



Quite pleased to get this as it means I can now use an after-market set to correct the kit which was released in 1973 after all. Not sure if it will be a B.6, B.15, or B.16 yet, I am leaning towards the B.16 though.

I start building some planes in 1:48 , and this comes with some figures . 
Another 262 more is never wrong for me .


You cannot view this attachment.

Arrived today , and .. WOW there is a single jet engine included , THAT is great for a complete own project  .  We have a original here in  town, displayed in the local aviation collection

Turns out that one of the Ta 152S kits still had the original Aoshima glazing, which is handy, as the one in the bundle snagged on eBay had the open option smashed.

Just won 2 auctions and I'm quite happy with the scores.
Got a MRC 1:35 scale AH-IW U.S. MARINES SUPER COBRA for $16.50   
And a Dragon ZSU23-4 V1 Shilka as well..not an easy kit to find here now so glad I got it ..this is the 5th one now 😏 😄

WHAT!?

You should be significantly more than "quite happy", mate: You should be ecstatic!

Yeah, you're being almost english in your understatement.  Sure you are not "chuffed" or "rather pleased"?

No kits, but a good stash of decals.  Lots of old Modeldecal  1/72 sheets, mostly early cold war RAF (2x Meteor NF, 2x Vampire, 1x Sabre) plus a sheet for Marineflieger Tornadoes.  I often have ideas for this period and stall due to lack of decals.

Also, a 1/48 AML set for Hurricane and Defiant night fighters, includes decals and six stub exhausts for each.  This is to go on a Pegasus Hobbies Hurricane, to be real world.

The Focke Wulf bundle snagged on eBay arrived earlier.  There's a lot of resin and etch in with the Eduard 190, all for the engine and lowered flaps.  Sod it, life is way too short for all that flapdoodle.

Definitely rather pleased Fred ...don't know why though but it's getting harder for me to be ecstatic about alot of things these days ..
There's no doubt that this is a epic score..I do feel for the seller though but it's the nature of the business auction sites.
His loss ..my win .

Very much so Rui mate..it's on average a $80+ dollar kit here..oh I keep forgetting this..comes with a set of Verlinden MK19 grenade launchers and 2 Verlinden books on this chopper too.

The aftermarket bits alone are worth more than what you paid for everything...   
I've been lucky to find some rare kits for a bargain price, like one of my Monogram 1/72 F-16XL kits that was just under 20€ and one of the 1/32 Monogram Blue Thunder choppers for 35€ but that is just ridiculous... i'm pretty sure that i'll never find such a deal around here...

Sadly there's not a huge amount of things like there used to be here either ..trademe used to have tons of em but very few and far between these days.  .I guess I'm lucky that I keep getting hit with these sorts of things cause with money being so tight most of the time I couldn't afford it.
Lucky ive got some work on a mates Hilux Surf to do and that will increase my wallets diameter nicely 😆
I'm seriously looking at 2 Amusing hobby Conqueror tanks which are both on special right now..one at Hobbylink Japan and ghe other at BNA in Australia.
