Wow that's a lot of cool stuff Martin !

I had a stash lessening this week. It was my older Brother's 46th Birthday, and I pulled a move my Grandfather used to do on the odd occasion. Told him to go into the cave and pick a model ! Dirty bugger picked a Hasegawa Neptune. But that was ok, as I still have 2

But he didn't stop there. Since I have so many doubles and triples etc. he also walked out with a Hase CF-104, as well as an Airfix Typhoon, Mustang and Hurricane ! He just started building again and has already turned into a hoarder lol.

LOL serves you right for giving him free reign of your stash Todd

And yeap, doesnt take long for the stash hoarding virus to take hold

Too right Martin and his SWMBO is already giving him grief as well lol

I came away from Bolton empty handed but Hannants came to the rescue with a Fiat BR-20 and Japanese decals.
A trip into Transport models (Preston) produced (by magic and slight of hand) an Academy "Ontos" tank thats hopefully going to have its coming out party at Huddersfield................Im thinking ambush scheme '46.

So much for my must build before buying rule........................shakes head sadly and exits stage right.

Oh I forgot
I swapped an Airfix Buccaneer for a He-219......Japanese '46 B-29 killer???

I've built the Italeri Br-20 from the boxing with the Japanese markings and it's a typical Italeri kit of its day. Goes together ok and the details fine on the outside, Internal detail is simplified considerably but not much can be seen. So of its time and a good one for that period.

Wot e sez. My version is the nostalgia reissue. Plastic looks very brittle and there is mould wear making the surface detail smooth.

From ebay:

CMR Spitfire LF.IXe - Czech/Isreali boxing. Worth it for the decal sheet alone with oodles of options, plus a spare wing.

Thanks Chris & Dork.

That's good news, they are about then, thank so much.

A 1:72 MiG-15 UTI from Gran - primarily because of the decals, since a Polish Navy machine is featured. Plan is to build a Hobby Boss MiG-15 UTI (a really nice kit) in these (real!) markings, since these machine bore rather wild paint schemes...
