Ordered last night, just before I went to bed;

1 x Airfix 1/35 Quickbuild Sherman Firefly Plastic Brick Construction Toy (AXJ6042) - For my not-yet-four grandson, either his 4th birthday or Christmas
1 x Airfix 1/35 Quickbuild Tiger I Plastic Brick Construction Toy (AXJ6041) - For my not-yet-four grandson, either his 4th birthday or Christmas
1 x Hobby Boss 1/35 Land Rover Defender 110 Hardtop (HB 82448) - Mostly for the correct-side-of-the-car dash, etc.
2 x Dynamo 1/35 Vietnam/WWII M55 Quad Machine Guns [2in1] (DY-35DM001) - I refuse to state whether these are for the RAMs PBR(s) until I test fit them &, if they are, it's all buzzbomb's fault!

Catched some Standard part boxes,  two Me 262 from Revell for the usual kit bashing .
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep .
Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

It looks like someone tried to sculpt an F-15 using a block of wood and a hatchet. I know that stealth demands certain shapes, but the YF-23 was definitely sexier.

Very very much so Ratman ...the 22 might be one hell of a figther but looks matter and sexy matters too.
The YF-23..very sexy looking 😍 🔥
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

True, but they will need to be tested first  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I/72 resin Skyshark of unknown manufacturer missing the canopy plus some other assorted bits.

Never had one of these before. In the same class as the Skyraider but cancelled.

That will be the Anigrand one, it's the only resin version available.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Neither.

Learning to deal with set-backs & disappointments (if they occur) is part of what learning modelling is all about, & I already know young Wilfred doesn't deal with either of those well.  :rolleyes:

Well I had a wonderful visit today from my mate Perrin and dudes he brought me some goodies 😉 😀
Amongst the pile of things are the unused parts from a ICM 35th AH-1G Cobra ..many useful parts 👍
Some diorama things like foliage from Phoenix..also snow and snow cream ...now for the kits part 😊
1 x 1/35th Models Panzer IV 3 in 1 ..now this is a mucked up kit ..Perrin brought a swag of Border Models models and quite a few are P IVs ..someone one cocked up on the packing line with the P IV Ausf F1 kits...it's got no tracks or G frames which have the final drive covers..drive sprockets and inner road wheels x 2  but 2 x C frames when it's only ment to have one...a great parts kit 😀

1 x 1/35th Dragon OH-6A Cayuse with crew ..this will be wiffy foder as I built this many yrs ago and it sucked .
Last but not least ...

1 x 1/35th Kittyhawk AH-6J/MH-6J Little Bird Nightstalkers ....now this has 2 load out options...one with 2 x M134 miniguns and one beautiful GAU-19 three barreled 50cal machine gun ...trust me ..it's not going to be used on this model  ;)  :wacko:  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Spey_Phantom

a little surprise easter stash addition from one of the neighbours from across the street (his kids and my son are friends and in the same class).
he found and gave me an Academy 1/48 Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker-B  ;D

he and his wife are getting a divorce and found this kit while cleaning out the attic. since he doesnt make models, he thought i might want it, its not my scale, but who am i to refuse a free kit  ;)
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.
