Insomnia strikes again bought from eBay;
10 x small tubes of super glue
A secondhand 1/72 Frog Avro Shackleton MR.3 with a few of the propellers broken.
I won the Falcon Triple Conversion set for the Lockheed AP-2H Neptune,  Grumman E-1 Tracer and the camera pack nose for the Airfix Panther. I've bought this set before but never at £2 plus P & P.

Interesting to see the old, original Falcon stuff is still doing the rounds. Tore will be happy.

There again, I still have a couple of Mistel noses and an MB5 in the 'one day' pile...

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Oooooh, does that come already assembled as in the pic, or do you have to build it from a zillion tiny  parts?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yeah, wot 'E said...

The drivers set looks good.
And the crouching lady has more of a Brit Land Girl vibe to me... but what is she doing? Not brewing tea, but other than that...??

Looks to me as if she is priming a lamp or blowtorch

Your right, she's definitely more Brit or US looking. I think she'd look good in a WWII factory setting.

Three of them could almost work in any era or post-apocalypse setting basically unchanged, the old guy might need minor tweaks to be made to fit different eras but it's doable.

Not a bad set, I'll keep an eye out for them locally.

I picked up my Tamiya F-35 A today but before that I stopped at my FLHS and lads that was as it turned out a brilliant idea . ;D
An aircraft ive wanted for yrs I'd a 48th scale Wyvern ..contra-props  ..what can I say  :thumbsup:
Now these are not what you'd call common here and when you do the price is quite ouchy ..so I'd put it on the back burner for that "ya never know" moment 😏
Now ive got 2 of em  ;D  ;D  :wub:
Two 48th Trumpeter Wyverns ..an early and late version  :thumbsup:
Plus a 48th Italeri SH-60B Seahawk ..it's been started slightly..has 3 sheets of decals..all wrong  :lol: and it was 15 notes  :thumbsup:
Aldo scored a mixed pile of wheels for model cars and the like ..I think there's some under there Fred will like 🤔  ;D
A weird one is this pile of magazines in sealed bags with parts to build a very large Lancaster.
There's 29 of em in total but there's a ton more going by the numbers on the mags ..ice got em up to No87 ..there's parts in the bags ..brass..copper..white metal and wood .
Some useful bits for wiffy work 😀

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Tiny parts.  Resin, brass, photoetch, wire...


IIRC, there are "complete" resin miniguns from Quickboost for an Ac-47 upgrade...  ;)

The Quickboost ones look like the ones from the old Airfix AC-47, literally a gun pod without the front cover. So no handles or ammunition belts.
