My stash just grew again 2025

Some transfers from BNA.
IRL they would be used on 1/35 Sherman Flails from 79th Armoured.  I'll be putting them on the Hedge Trimmer.

Received today from eBay

1 x 1/72 Revell 04101 Avro Shackleton MR.3 to be rather heavily converted into something else after a conversation I was part of at the recent Scottish Nationals

I might have caught a rather cheap MiG-21F-13 on Evilbay, and I think it'll end up in Finnish ground attack colours, eventually. After all, I have loads of Soviet rocket pods rattling about to no apparent use, so..

Interesting NATO code name on this version though..

I'm more intrigued at the box art.  A not so subtle dig at the collapsing Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact?

As Bilek is Czech, I suppose it's a reference towards desired but not factual military resistance following the Soviet quelling of the Prague spring.

Which would make for an excellent whiffy diorama

The Czechs, generally, were never willing partners of the Soviet Union. This would just be the Czechs reminding themselves (& the Russians) of that fact.

I bet Bilek's box artist LOVED doing that box. 

Revenge best being served cold of course.

So you bought it. I was looking at that and was surprised to find it gone when I got home. I take it had a "Buy It Now" option? Don't worry about my looking at it, I have two of the Whirlybird boxings in my stash.

On another note, I picked up a package from the BIG yellow H this afternoon.

1 x 1/72 AIRE7255   Lockheed-Martin F-16I Sufa 'Storm' exhaust nozzle (designed to be used with Hasegawa kits)
1 x 1/72 AIRE7256   Lockheed-Martin F-16I Sufa 'Storm' Fighting Falcon cockpit set (designed to be used with Hasegawa kits)
1 x 1/72 ED672040   Lockheed-Martin F-16CJ Block 50 Fighting Falcon wheels with weighted tyre effect (designed to be used with Tamiya kits)
1 x 1/72 RBT72026   General-Dynamics F-16B (designed to be used with Hasegawa kits)
1 x 1/72 SAC72097   Lockheed-Martin F-16CJ Block 50 Fighting Falcon replacement Metal Landing Gear (designed to be used with Tamiya kits)

I intend the undercarriage and wheels to go with the F-16XL I received recently, the other parts will go with a Hasegawa F-16I and the replaced parts with the F-16XL.
