Picked this up off Ebay for under $10 for the Commonwealth GB coming up, and the A/M decals for "The Wandering Witch", from the NZAF in 1945. Witch is the blue/white scheme.
Here is the Academy 1/700 Enterprise...

Doesn't say, but would figure around Midway since it has 8 each of F4F, SBD and TBD. And she got TBF's in July. Will put up some pics of contents soon.
John, that scooter should be fun.
GH, I've been wanting to get that kit. Is it pre or post refit?
Scott, any one of those kits could grace my stash.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

scottrc I used the threat of Revell possibily going out of business as an excuse to buy a bunch of kits from my childhood. These were waiting for me when I went home for lunch today. Its going to be a fun summer.

Lol Scott, I like the way you think!!!
Nice picks there guys!
Rob: Yeah, wish I'd picked up the fictional Soviet stealth plane these days. I hear it's a collector's item now.

My Xmas present caught up to me.
P.S. Sorry, still not get the photos to here.
Stopped by the LHS in Salem on my way to Portland Sunday.....Picked up Academy's 1/700 USS Enterprise CV-6. comes with masks for all the horizontal surfaces, and a nice fret of PE for railings, ladders and the bedspring radar antenna. Leaps and bounds above the old Tamiya version. Can be done as either full hull or waterline. Main hull and flightdeck are one piece moldings.
Looked at it three times before it stuck to the fingers up to the cash register.
Ok, I only got this because I wanted a affordable 1/72 A-4!
I know raised panel lines, but it'll be fine. old school isn't so bad. And at that scale you can't see most panel lines anyway if they happen to disappear.

Monogram made one that looks like the one above that was snap tite. Testors made the glue one and also a faux MiG stealth fighter, both in 1/48 scale. They were pretty nice plane kits. I even found photo etch to accurize the Testors stealth fighter. The Mig actually looked closer to what the stealth fighter looked like.
ridleusmc falconmod I was at the store again! Wow! I remember that thing. It's the 1980's idea of what the F-117 looked like. Micro Machines made a toy which looked like that.

Oh wow, I had the 1/48th kit way back in the day. I've seen the 1/72nd one but not this 1/144th or that it was still in production.
I still remember the charges about Testor's coming out with the model of a classified project and the creator showing how he's just did a lot of reading on the subject and designed the plane around completly un-classified material.
Cheers, might be worth me getting it from there, save me about a fiver.

Bish I thought that was pretty low myself. Especially with free shipping from the UK to California. I got it on shop4megastore. From my research its based in Sheffield. They have an eBay store as well but it has a different name. I deduced it was the same company. They mostly deal in video games but they had a few kits as well. On eBay it's shop_us_store. Here's the link to megastore. The price went up $2?

Griffin25 I'm not much of an aircraft modeler but I've been wanting to get a Hawker Hunter for awhile now because it's just a beautiful looking machine. I think this is new? Maybe someone can fill me in. $19 from the UK with free shipping! Couldn't resist.

Nice, planning on gettiung that myself. Been wanting a Hunter for a while and it comes with West raynham markings so fit into my Norfolk airfields project.
As TJ says, its a few years old. But the reviews i have read seem positive. 19Bucks is a very good price, was it a private seller. They are going for about £20.
How did the SAT go? I just bought that A10 kit. That cake looks tastey!
BTW - someone who buys you a kit and has the presence of mind to purchase the correct paints is a winner!
Thanks,
Clint
Birthday haul! After I got out of my SAT testing, I was able to unwind with these!
And paint enough for all three
Not strictly model related, but of potential interest: I got a reproduction Luftwaffe Bf-109 pilot's watch.
Finally, this has nothing to do with models, but my sister threw together a cake with my favorite people on it, and I thought someone besides me should see it. Tomoko on the right, Maka on the left.

Rambo - thanks for the heads up. Btw, started the Cushman Duster....lots and lots of flash. Old AMT mold I suppose
not a subject that I would normally even look at, but the price was too good to pass up.
Rob Gronovius I found an interesting Revell kit in the clearance aisle in Hobby Lobby today. It is the Spaceship Two and White Knight Two. Originally $27.99 but priced $7.50.

plasmo does a great tutorial on that build waggish
Thats meant to be a really nice kit waggish.
Interesting what you say about the Revell kits. Went ito the LHS today and the shelves are full of them. Seems as though hardly anyone has noticed the Revell issues over here.
After the recent, potentially terrible, news regarding Revell, their kit's have been flying off of the LHS shelves. I've been watching the 1/32 Me 262B1/U1 since it came out in 2016, and payed even closer attention once my LHS got it in 2017, though I never pulled the trigger. Anyway, after the club meeting today, I grabbed the last one.
Side note, this is first kit I've paid full price for in almost 8 months.
Recently sold off a few un wanted kits on e-bay and decided to use what i got to add to my Norfolk airfields collection. I got 2 Tamiya Mossies, the Mk VI which will have the Paragon ASH radome fitted, which i picked up from S Africa thanks to GM making me aware of it.
And a NF XIII/XVII which will be turned into a NF XXX with a new engine and some scratch work in the pit.
And a Revell Halifax Mk III.
That takes me up to 33 out of 37 airfields.
