Nice score Wild. I need to get an early Falcon.

Pat, I especially like that Grace

I picked up the AVRO kit just because I thought it was an interesting aircraft that I had never heard of before, but the other three planes I initially bought with the intention of trying to use them as a basis for a kitbashed plane for the "Steampunk, Diesel Punk, & Other" group build.  However, once I got each kit I kind of realized that they are nice models in their own right and am debating finishing them maybe OOB instead.

I have the 707A and it’s a nice kit too.  If you do build your 707C, it would make a nice companion to the new Airfix Vulcan coming out at the end of the year.

Good grief, everyone is piling on the kit purchases!  Ha-ha, I’m falling behind!

Willuride,

Nice score!  The markings in the F-16 are incorrect (primarily the serial number).  Caracal Decals makes the correct decals for the prototype (not this kit) and the flight demonstrator which can be modeled with the Revell kit.

Pat,

The Avro kit is intriguing.  I hope it's built soon.

Thanks lewbud, Not sure I will put it together though.  It's 1/72.  I didn't check the scale before I bought it.  If I do it I will look for the correct decals.

Oh those are cool!

Pat: The Grace's odd 'cranked' wing would make an interesting feature on a kit-bashed aircraft. But it's a really nice kit to just build on it's own.

I picked up a few more sets of decals. I've pulled out the rest of my hair trying to use Hasegawa decals on current Zero build. I'm hoping these work out much better- I've never tried PrintScale.

And I didn't like the decals that came with my Tamiya P-38 so I picked up another set. Plus another set for whenever I get around to building the late model Hasegawa kit.

(the X-Ecto knife is covering the naughty bits on the nose art on one set)

Just made HL a little more $.  Ordered out the B17F, Baja Bronco and the GMC plow pickup.

After 6 months of waiting, my Sotar  finally arrived from Badger’s 60th Anniversary special sale and what a beauty it is!

Yeah, I got my Xtreme 105 last month. Major improvement over my old 105.

Fun! I almost bought one of those during the sale just becuase it looks so cool.

Nice BK!

I have the Sotar and use it for the real small detail work and mottling. I love that little guy. Nice purchase.

 

BK

 

That’s the main reason I got it for not to mention the cool low price which I couldn’t pass up.   

Goldhammer & Brandon: Ohhhhhhhhh nice hauls!!! 

PJ: Oh yeah wow, a new airbrush is like a new car- only not quite as expensive. Congrats!!! 

Thanks gents!!

Great haul everyone.  I need an airbrush to do fine detailing or camo. Hmmmm

Be interesting to see how that Chally builds up, especially as they are now brining one out without the extra armour. Almost wishing i had not got the Trump kit now.

Oh those are cool figures Greysnake and I love that Chally. I still haven't tried any of Rye Field Models kits but I've heard a lot of good stuff about them. 

Outstanding effort everyone. 

Congrats on your new Sotar Steve. I do not miss out on the Badger Birthday specials. That's how I got my Sotar a couple of years ago. I still love my old 105 as my go to airbrush.

Impressive order BK. Well done.

Some latest additions via auction wins

Buccaneer came with some AM bits:

I got the new Border Models kit of the Pzkfw IV G.  All new molds.  A somewhat new way of doing things.  I have not built it yet, but others seem happy with it.  It certainly has bigger instructions  and color guides with it.  It has length and link track with it.  The good old Mark 4 is like the Mustang, Me-109, and Spitfire. Every model company has to do their interpretation of it.  The Monogram Pzkpw IV 4 in 1969 or so got me really into tank models.  I was somewhat surprised to see a new kit of it.  I thought that DML had done such a good job with theirs that the market would be over.  Of course the the DML kits are getting hard to find.

I noticed those Border Models kits. I believe they are a new company but not sure if they are linked to anyone else. be interesting to see what thats like.

I think we all thought Dragon was the best we would get, but new companies are surpassing them and Dragon are just bringing out re-issues of old kits and are getting very over priced.

That Bucc looks a nice kit, i am saving mine for the next Airfix Gb and hoping it wil be as good as the Phantom. I am really looking forward to the next boxing with the wraparound RAF scheme.

After catching up on this thread, it's always hard not to buy something!

A box showed up late this afternoon:

The Exoframe is for a friend (yeah I traffic model kits like a drug dealer), while the Wurzburg radar is mine.  Now I need to go look for a figure set to man it.  And the giant "murder hornet" aka suzume bachi (sparrow bee) in Japanese is my latest pet.

BZZZZZZT!
