Santa wife bought me this for Xmas. Sorry Bish

Tempestjohnny - Griffon Spit!  Best looking of the Spitfire stable!  Merry Christmas to you, lucky chap!

That's a beautiful Griffon Spit TJ!

This is my Christmas haul.

The Walrus I knew I was getting. I bought it a couple months back for myself for Christmas and my wife paid me for it and put it under the tree.

I got the USS Freedom LCS for my SS gift.

And when I delivered the Gee Bee to my friend, he gave me the Z to build, plus he gave my his original of Rommel. He is Lonnie Ortaga, an aviation artist.

Wow the Romel print is fantastic.

Super great haul this xmas :)

Awesome haul John!

John I'm jealous. That is quite the haul

nice pick up. 

when I get the sci fi bug in 2021.

That's cool Nick. I remember watching that movie for the first time on TV in the 60's as a kid. I hid behind the couch.

I've since watched it many many times and own the CD.

That'll be an awesome display.

Thanks MW20. It was truly a surprize to receive it.

These came in today. A Christmas present for myself.

I love the Navy F-16 Aggressor.

I like that Scandinavian Draken!

Mopar Madness

I like that Scandinavian Draken!

 

Drakens are so cool looking

Nice haul John.  Just out of curiosity, what's the red dot going on?

Steve,

You got a pretty interesting range of kits as well.

Going to play around with it on a couple .22s and maybe my M1A if I really like it. 

Steve. The J35 is on my bucket list if builds. I'm thinking of ordering the light kit for the martian machine. I love the 53 classic the new one not so much.

John. Red dot are a lot of fun if you can find a place to plink...

Here are my latest acquisitions.

From my Secret Santa.

Photoetch and canopy mask are on the way from Sprue Brothers.

And for something completely different. Clear carbon fiber decals from Scale Motorsports.  They allow you to create a colored carbon fiber effect.

Also from Scale Motorsports a sheet of their 1/24 Kevlar Basket Weave decal paper.  I was hoping to duplicate the yellow basket weave kevlar found in the Group B rally cars like the Lancia 037 or Delta S4, but this is more bronze than yellow.

I also have a box on a slow airplane from Japan on the way. In it are a Hasegawa 1/24 BMW 2002 Rallye Car and a Revell F-16 in Tiger Meet Markings.

a7 is the bomb!  I have some of the carbon fiber decals and they are great.  Wafer thin!

Not sure why Airfix picked his aircraft, maybe because he was killed defending the skies of Britian. But here is a bit of info about him.

Assuming that He 111 going down in flames is his kill, that was the day before he died.

Thanks Bish - I looked up his service as well.  Just curious as most model companies offer kits of aces etc.  Poor kid had a short life - seems out of the norm for kits.  I'll offer the decals to anyone who wants them as I want to do the mount of Witold Urbanowicz - no disrespect to this short lived pilot.

Sweet additions guys.

I'm really liking the Tiger Meet markings Buddy. I may just start getting some to do.

John, love the Hurry. It has always been my favorite British fighter. Oddly enough I just have 2 in the stash. Both 1/72 from Arma Hobby.

Those are awesome guys! Esp love the Martian war machines Nick! 

Jackpot.    14 kits about $12 each

Whoa!!!! Who do you know and how can I get that number?  Nice score

TJ: WHOA!!! And that's some good stuff there- Tamiya, Hasegawa, Finemolds!!! 

I'd say you made out like a bandit!!! 

I'm drooling over here! That He219 is a super kit!

Oh my gosh, and mostly Japanese

This showed up today. I've never done a Mistercraft kit, but it looks nice.  I've got a 1/144 F-14A and the VF-41 decals and plan on an in flight forced perspective dio of the 81 shoot down

Nice
