My stash just grew again 2025

[Charlie_c67]

Not a whif and certainly not a CKD kit, but my loco stable was enlarged with the beautiful Oxford Rail NER liveried P2 0-6-0 tender engine. It may be "just" in lined black, but there's something about pre-grouping models that I love. It also shows that an exquisite model can be had for £110 (with retailer discount) and not some of the mad prices closer  to £200 (looking at you here Rapido)

Picked up two bargains on eBay both in 1/72 scale; Hasegawa Lockheed S-3A Viking and the Falcon Triple conversion set the one that includes the Grumman Greyhound.
I have always thought that the Greyhound and the Viking should have been converted into AEWs.

From Fantasy Printshop via ebay:

2 x sheets of 1/72nd scale RAF Type D Pale roundels
1 x sheet black WWII Luftwaffe Serials 2.5mm to 7mm
1 x sheet white WWII Luftwaffe Serials 4.5mm to 8mm

I have no particular plans for a barrage of Luftwaffe models, in case you're wondering, it's just that the Luftwaffe serials have the most "neutral" font that be applied to almost anything.

Nice combo!

Greyhound's just a fluffy Hawkeye.

"Fluffy" is a generous choice of words. If you were being less charitable, you could describe a Greyhound as a fat-arse Hawkeye...

Probably called Grayhound because it is anything but a greyhound, or called after the generic bus used in the US, and the aircraft being the USN Carrier On board Delivery aircraft, which lugs cargo and passengers.

just ordered 

-Revell 1/72 NH90-NFH Navy
-Revell 1/72 F-35A Lightning II
-Revell 1/144 Tornado IDS/GR.1
-Special Hobby 1/72 Percival P.66 Pembroke

[Old Wombat]

Just ordered direct from Special Hobby in Czechia / the Czech Republic;


1 x CMK 1/48 Czechoslovak pilot (1938) with a parachute - A bit of an after-thought after I'd decided to buy the kit below,I have enough 1/48 Czech pre-occupation aircraft that a pilot won't go astray
1 x Special Hobby (HML) 1/48 Focke-Wulf Fw 187A-0 Falke - Highly likely to end up in markings for a BoB Bf.109 squadron, which will be countered by my 1/48 Whirlwind ending up in BoB Spitfire squadron markings,

The Grumman Greyhound 21 concept caught my imagination.

I do like that idea 

[Rick Lowe]

Indeed! 

[Charlie_c67]

Arrived today from the bay of e:
1/72 Frog Westland Wallace
1/72 Frog Blackburn Shark

The former has a much better representation of an engine than the latter, but the latter will be having a bit of rhinoplasty when it makes the desk

Merlin?

Had crossed my mind, but also wondered about an Exe or the front of a Ju-87/Il-2 which I have in stock.

A Napier Sabre did briefly flitter across my mind  , but I have those earmarked already
