Been snoopin' around Evilbay!!

never really been a big fan of evilbay, but for the past couple of weeks i kinda went off the deep end and got some really good deals on some kits, and yes, paid WAAAAAAY too much for a couple.

anyway, i've been modelling for a while now, and just venting my passion mostly on WWII fighters, now i think i'm ready for a change. the israeli airforce desert camo has always been attractive to me, so, i've been collecting materials and kits to do an array of modern israeli fighters. when i began lookin' for the 1/48 hasegawa F-16B/D, i quickly learned i was hunting ghosts!! so, someone at my LHS recommended ebay. in the last 3 weeks, i've paid way too much for an F-16B, and 2 F-16D's. i plan to make the F-16I "Sufa" conversion from one of the D's. the other D will have the Peace Marble resin spine from cutting edge, and the B will.............just be a B!! also picked up a great buy on a 1/48 hasegawa A-4M shyhawk that is plan to build up into the israeli version. i have an F-15C in the stash, and i'm thinkin' hard about dollin' her up into an israeli fighter as well.

this is what i call my first "meaningful" project. i'm actually doin' my research (and enjoying it actually). probably take a while to complete all of these delightful projects, but i'm happy as a lark at the moment!!

i decided to sell my industrial type compressor that i used in my apartment for the last finished build i had, so now i'm compressorless again. i'm saving up for an iwata studio compressor, but that gives me time to get all my stuff together for the israeli undertaking.

thanks for listening guys!! later.
