No pics, but found a couple of Wild Weasel patches, one of spook with a harm and the original weasel with the YGBSM acronym underneath.

Bid on an F-105G and an F-4G, both in 1/48.  Got the Monogram Thud, but not double ugly.

Steve it's always nice to add a vintage Matchbox or Airfix kit to the stash.

 

Johnny - Wow, that thing reminds me of the old Pocher kits that cost an arm and a leg.

Nice score Stick.

Here are some I got from eBay that arrived this week. I'm not confidant either will be a good fit or super detailed but at least I have a G.50 and Lanc now.

Chad, I've never seen one in person before either. But after examining the kit, it is VERY nice- quite well detailed. I have a few of their other kits in my stash, but they are not as nice as this Spit.

I've never seen a Classic Airframes Spitfire.  Those CA offerings were some nice kits!

Dodgy those are some great scores. I really like that Airfix Walrus! Such a unique aircraft and long overdue in 1/48 in a modern kit.

 

So this came as a surprise late birthday package from a friend on another site in the mail yesterday. 

 

 

which also included these nice resin cockpit update sets

 

 

I don’t own a Spitfire Mk. XIX... but now I have an excuse to get one...

 

Many thanks for the generous gifts Bruce!

Im intrested in seeing how that Das Werk Uboat builds. Nice Condor Leagon 109 and I have that Walurus' sister kit. Looks intense.

 

Andy's Hobby Headquarters does a vid of the build. Looks very clean and tight. No PE. I have to finish my Revell U Boat and 2 others for GB's before I tackle the U9, but the plastic and detail are awsome.

I found a supplier that had not sold out Testors Acrylic Cleaner yet. I managed to snag enough bottles to thin my remaining supply of Polly Scale acrylics... This supplier is notorious for showing products as 'in stock' then not having them when you order so I am doubly thrilled and amazed that they had it! Of course, the dried up bottle of Maskol they sent me is another topic...

Congrads on the new cars Tojo and John. Maybe the Camry isn't quite as sporty as the Mach 5 but it's a heck of a lot more practical! Stick out tongue

Oh wow great stuff guys, Christmas in March!!! 

Chad: Great selection! I built the Type 90 without the mine roller and it's a great kit, goes together beautifully. Only real hitch is masking the camo. And the Chally is another great kit, built the non-desert version years ago. 

Bish: Ohhhhhhhh cool rover!!! Really awesome to get to build something else you served on. 

 

Ye, i am getting quite a collection. Would like to get more aircraft, both fixed wing and rotory that i flew on.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I built the Monogram Hind, nice kit actually. The walker just falls together, very well engineered. Here's what I did with it. A derelict with a leg blown off.

They have nailed the look of the Lanny pretty well. It doesn't seem as though the sand paint applied was hard wearing, but the time we got them in June 03 they had only been used for a few months like this. I think they had just been used as support vehicles during the invasion and then field modified for patrolling the streets of Basra. We actually went out in patrols of 2 vehicles. 3 years later on the same streets we were patrolling in full armoured battle groups complete with air support.

Hmmm... A Swiss GB perhaps?  I have much to think aboutGeeked

 

It's an interesting choice Chad. British bombers and fighters, American bombers and fighters, German bombers and fighters and then there's all the stuff that the Swiss purchased from various countries prior to WWII. Lots and lots of interesting subjects, even for figure modelers, the Swiss guard at the Vatican for example.
