Cooer, I've never heard of them before, what a mean looking device! I can see those hung under all sorts of aircraft, pretending to to be something a lot more lethal!

I think I can safely say that they won't be hanging off a Hunter

1 x 1/72 MPM Productions 72574 Gloster Meteor Trent "First Turboprop Fighter"

Gondor

It's a nice kit, builds well. I did mine as a FAA torpedo fighter, on the basis that it won out to the early piston engined Wyvrens in a competition.

No idea what I am going to do with it yet. It was available and its hard to find so I got it while I had the chance.

Went to the NIMCON 12 model contest today in McHenry, Illinois. I didn't buy much as I'm saving as much money as I can for the IPMS Nationals next month.
But what I did come away with from Nimcon is the following.
Scored a 1/400 scale Russian sub for $5. It was originally $8. 
Scored two free decal sheets. Yes, it was FREE!        Picture of what they look like is below.
Somebody was handing out free decal sheets. But they were all the same type/style as what is shown below.
If it's free, never pass up a good thing.

That's a very nice looking sheet of decals ...wonder if they got permission to bring the Australian decals 🤔

I doubt it.  But then I think the copyright only applies here.  Which is how xtradecal get away with selling their sets of RAAF roundels.

...................and somehow two Mistercraft/KP XFY-1 Pogos were so impressed by my musical taste that they followed me home.

Terrible, isn't it? You can't trust ANY kits these days.

Ah, just realised what I'd typed then.       

Well you can't trust these two that much, because although the instructions' illustrations are indeed for the Pogo, all the historical blurb on them is for the MiG-29 Fulcrum...

I presume the plastic is right for Pogos?

While away in Bendigo at the weekend I managed to drop into the interestingly named Power Grunt Hobbies.  Always keen to support local business I left with a rattle can of Tamiya Fine White Primer, some Evergreen strip, and a Tamiya 1/35 SAS Pink Panther Landy.

<puff, pant> Yes it is, unless there's a hitherto unknown Fulcrum variant with giant contra-props (I mean, never say never...).

Me? Breathless from running upstairs to check? Nah, you're imagining it... <pant, wheeze>

The decal sheet is from MRC. Here's what the back of the sheet looks like.

Ahhh that would make sense Fred..I knew that your government copyrighted that so yeah ..it answered a question for sure .

An Italeri M107 SPG arrived in the mail today and the with a project I'm starting soon this was sorely needed for its gun barrel.
It was cheaper to buy this kit set than buy the barrel alone..now I'll be also able to build a 155mm version 😀

My stash actually grew by this lot today.

On their way from BNA Model World;

1 x Gecko Models 1/35 WWII British Army Open Cab 30-cwt 4x2 GS Truck (GEC-35GM0071) - For a mid-30's RAM's diorama including this truck, my Vickers Medium Mk.III & a RR Armoured Car (1920's pattern)
1 x Airfix Models 1/35 WWII British Army 30-cwt 4x2 GS Truck (AX01380) - Same truck as above but with an enclosed cab, for something that will come to me later
1 x Reality In Scale 1/35 Food Supplies Vol.5 [2 resin pcs. and decals] (RIS-35236) - To go on my Thunder Models 1/35 LRDG F30 Patrol Truck CMP (TDM-35304) Outback Track diorama
1 x Black Dog 1/35 WWII Universal Boxes Accessories set (BD-T35245) - To go on my Thunder Models 1/35 LRDG F30 Patrol Truck CMP (TDM-35304) Outback Track diorama
1 x Eureka XXL 1/35 Wooden Barrels (EUX-E-009) - To go on my Thunder Models 1/35 LRDG F30 Patrol Truck CMP (TDM-35304) Outback Track diorama
1 x Hauler 1/35 Fuel Barrels (HAU-HLU35083) - To go on my Thunder Models 1/35 LRDG F30 Patrol Truck CMP (TDM-35304) Outback Track diorama
1 x Bronco Models 1/35 British Recce and Signals Light Truck [2 kits] w/Crews [5 figures] (CB35218) - Reduced from AU$74.95 to AU$53.95 then down to AU$29.95, it was another of those "How could I not?" buys that BNA are throwing at me lately

Considering these two are, basically, the same vehicle, the Airfix version contains considerably fewer parts!
