No kidding??! That's the version I'd like to build anyways! 

I was impressed with the PE, but it seems mostly limited to the cockpit. 

Seriously, I think I'm REALLY going to enjoy building this one.  Big Smile

Nice collection you have there Stik. I do like Mini Art and Zvezda figures. Any idea what your going to do with the para's.

 

Thanks Bish. I agree about both companies figures. As far as the paras go, the guy getting control of his cute after landing I am thinking of doing as a solo vignette. The others I will likely combine with some matching Dragon Fallschirmjäger figures for something later on.

Picked this up today at a model show for a fiver. Had to grab one of these after seeing tempestjohnny build it in the RAF GB.

 

 

 

you'll love it

 

 

I have a feeling you might be right. Just need to get the GR.3 now and a couple of Sea  harriers.

I found myself a new toy at HL. Last one on a shelf marked down from $44.99 to $17.19!

Right in my price range.  :)

 

 

I was aiming for a B-25, but this is even better. I have never had the opportunity to build a Promodeller kit. :D

 

Oh happy day! Lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mike you'll be happy to know that the kit has all of the parts to do the version with the 50mm bordakanon also.  I have two in the stash from Hobby Lobby

And then there was the topper of the meeting. Joe Bevans, the founding guy behind our chapter gave me this as a gift

Needless to say, I am humbled to be a part of that group and have friends there like him. Many thanks Joe.

Thats a nice score Bish. 

My stash got a little larger as well yesterday. It was the 9th anniversary meeting of our AMPS Chapter. And we had a nice raffle there sponsored by Brookhurst Hobbies. In the raffle there, I won a $9 gift card. So I went to the shop after the meeting and picked up this Miniart Panzer Crew set

Then I found this Zvezda figure set on clearance for $5!!! Sweet! I had been wanting it!

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

Mike: Now that is a CRAZY good bargain on a great subject. Cool score! I can't get over how HL just practically gives this stuff away sometimes. To them it's just another airplane kit. If it were an auto kit they would have kept it on the shelves for years!!!!

Drifter: Really cool score on that Bf-110!!! Tricky kits to put together but well worth the amount of work!!! Yes

RX: Dude! That is one helluva stash you've got going !!!!!!!!

RX I think you could open a hobby shop with that stash.

 

LOL , sure looks that way doesn't it. I've been doing more buying than building but I am trying hard to change that.

Don't have pix yet but I just paid for three 1/100 scale airliners. One 747, one DC-10 and one 727. Old and rare kits I have wanted since I was a kid. Now I need a hanger to put them in.

Nice hauls everyone.

A big box arrived at my door step today. Dragon USA had a moving sale and I could not resist.

 

Found a great deal on Ebay. Got a littel crazy with the  Trumpy Stugs.

Went to my LHS and found some markdowns, for some reason this month has been crazy good for deals all over .

And what I was waiting for the most, Eduard 1/4 BF110 Instrument panel (Limited edition). This was very very hard to find. These kits are extremely rare, not sure I must build it.

Nice haul.  That will keep you out of trouble for a while. Big Smile

Nice kit for its age . . .  and I don't know of another one in 1/72.

Might need some new decals.  There's only a few required.
