With me being more of a fan of the radial engined Fw.190's? Quite a bit. ;D

But it was more of an observation than a critique. ;)

Phill, for a lot of folks, that's a whole stash on it's own... :o  ;D  :thumbsup:

All the talk about Drakens got me spending more money... On it's way, a Hasegawa 1/48 J35 F/J with  a set of masks for the canopy and wheels from New Ware and also waiting for a bunch of mask sets for other kits.
Also, reserved for a later order, a Kinetic 1/48 Mirage 2000C.

Assuming you needed a truck to get it all home it's easy. Just leave them in the truck.  ;D

Some of you may recall  the philosophical hypothesis and  book  "Parkinson's Law"  which states that Work expands to fill the time available...............the Whiffworld  equivalent is that    Stashes expand to copiously overfill the space available. Even if you have a blue police box as a storage unit  your stash will outgrow the space.
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you....."
It  means that you read  the instruction sheet

Local Yokel was selling kits on FB. I snagged a 72nd scale Hobbycraft Grumman Tracker for 15 bucks. A bit of a dog of a kit, but couldn't pass it up.
