Nice set of AM Stick Yes

Griffin, I think the post war Russian tanks are so cool looking, from the T-55 to T-90. Not sure about the Armata though Huh?

Ah our blessed postman brought me these two eBay scores today in the midday...

 for my FJ-4 Fury

 

 

I’ll be doing the Marine Fury, not the Navy FAGU markings...

 

and for the Flogger in my stash...

 

 

Both were great deals...

Stick, you just picked up the COOLIST biplane ever. I love the Falco.

 

It does look sharp. And should make a good adversary to the Gladiator and Fury that are in my stash.

Bish and MC, those are some great acquisitions! I’m really liking the Nell and the Phantom!

Last night at IPMS I picked up this one from a guy who was thinning out his stash...

 

 

 it will be challenging fun I believe...

Been waiting for this one.  Ordered last week from the big "H".  On its way across the pond.  Can't wait for it to arrive.

 

Looks nice, hope you don't mind a few stencils though. The guy at the LHS told me their first batch went real quick and they couldn't get hold of Hornby but managed to get a dozen from Hannants.

My first new kit of the year, just picked up from the LHS on the way home from work. been waiting on this for a few months now, selling fast by all accounts. Good size box for a 72nd kit.

I won't even bother adding this to the stash as i am hopeing to build it later this year for the Commonwealth GB, as long as i can get a dck tractor for it.

All those books and kits are a nice batch. Not a bad deal when it’s all averaged out.

I just scored what I think is a good deal. answered an ad of Facebook. 11 models, many with aftermarket decals and/or detail sets/masking sets. and 9 Squadron signal books.

$120 for all. They were found in basement of house a young couple had just bought. figure $6 apiece was worth it. The old Hawk SNJ trainer is only one not worth the price but the others more than make up for it.

Thats the problem with this thread. I keep seeing kits i then decide i want, and so any chance of reduceing how many i add to the stash goes out the window. Who's silly idea was it to start this thread.

 I was under the impression that we were supposed to INCREASE the stash...not deplete it.

Just purchase more Bish...purchase more! LOL

 

 

 

Ye, but there is a limit. Theycan't burn it with me and i am damned if i am leaving it for any one Big Smile

 

 

 

Wha....wait...we can't take them with us?!  Surprise

 

I would but you would see the smoke clear across the pond from that amount of plastic. As for you, i hope they can dig a hole big enough Wink

Hunter those are some super acquisitions!

 

And look what the postman brought today... a little bird told me that Sprue Brothers had them on sale...

 

 

Nice buy Stik. The F-35 is entering RAF service this year, so i am hoping we will get some operational British ones to build.

Thanks Hunter. I have been wanting a proper F-35 for my collection after finally seeing them fly in person on a couple occasions last year. They are growing on me. And yes, when I do build it, you’ll see it here.

Well I made another great eBay find recently. This decal set of early Vietnam War F-4C was available for roughly half off... and only $1 shipping...  who can pass that up?

I snagged a 1/32 Hasegawa FW190D9 off ebay this morning for $17 + $11 shipping. It's missing the decals but I have a set from AeroMaster that I grabbed from Squadron a while back on sale for one buck. I've been wanting to do blue 2 from the sheet which is a very late Dora. :whoo:

 

Can't wait to see this

Nice little kit. Definitely needs AM tracks to give the detail and sag. I stole some Modelkasten off of ebay for only $11 shipped. Still in the stash after 10 years or so. Lol

 

Thank you Eric...I'll look into getting some.

Mopar Madness

There sure are some nice kits floating around this topic!  Here’s one I picked up for myself.  I’ll get a few more 1/35 builds under my belt before I tackle it.

 

MM...very nice kit. Are you going to build it to stand free, or do you have a dio in mind?

Here is my Christmas haul...very grateful for my family looking over my "Wish List" on Scalehobbyist.com

2'x3' Cutting Mat

Sorry the photo is sideways

I picked this one up a few weeks ago..
