Of course, being 'abroad', the first thing I did with a free morning was check out the local model shops, as you do.

Found a wonderful subterranean grotto called Marks Models close to the River Liffey here in Dublin, and made the odd purchase or three.
Firstly a re-popped AMT 'Digger' drag race car, one that I had years ago and converted into a class winning model in the then Hot Rod Class at the IPMS Nats. The re-popped one is MILES better than the original!

And after PantherG's wonderful RAF scheme D-520, what did I find on Mark's shelves but a Masterkit D-520!


It's almost certainly a re-popped Heller kit, but it's in a box that's about 3 times as large as the original Heller one!


It comes with four different sets of decals, and in my case six, as there's TWO sets of the Luftwaffe/Bulgarian ones.
Lastly I got a set of AK USAF paints for my Stratocastle, the Euro ones as that's going to be the theme of the model. It's a smaller, shorter range B-52 so it'll be based in Europe, right?
