I have been looking at the parts,  :blink: the thinness of that P.8 intake ring is  :wub:

The work that has gone into the instructions has produced the best set I have seen so far  :thumbsup:

Went to the de Havilland Museum show today. It was a good show and attendance was OK.

Carpena Decals 1/72 : French F-8E Crusader 1964-1988.
Ideal for use on a French Navy F-4  ;)

Microscale decals 1/72 : NATO F-16s - Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway.
Generic but useful - complete sets for 4 aircraft

Vespid 1/72 : Panther KF51 German tank.
Prototype for new German/Hungarian/Italian tank - modern autoloader turret on a Leopard 2A4 chassis.

Gun Button To Fire by Tom Neil - his Battle of Britain story.

Arrived today,
Scautomoton 1/72 E.E. P-8 conversion
Airfix 1/72 E.E. Lightning F2 (Donor for above)

After getting and building his Excellent AW169 kit i just had to buy his new P8 conversion.

However unlike Gondor, it sadly can't jump to the top of the queue, this year i'm back on 1/700 ships so its on with CVA-01 and finish some other ship projects, but at least i will hav ethe P8 to look forward too when i get back to 1/72 aircraft projects.

Having, among other things, nabbed another few SAAB's, I also couldn't resist this lovely Esci kit. While I, admittedly, do have a few F-4's in the StashTM already, I have a weak spot for Esci kits in general, and this example also comes with Spanish decals. A proper win, in my book.

I would expect it to actually end up in those decals, but probably not in air-to-ground colours. Future will tell.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Acquired at the Ballarat NNL Swap and Sell.

Hasegawa Macross VF-1A Valkyrie "5Grand Anniversary" limited edition.  With PE and mask set.

Airfix English Electric Lightning F.6
Academy Bell P-39Q/N Airacobra
KEMZI Polikarpov I-16 type 24.  Bagged.  Flashy.  Not Frog though Brian.  Frog never released their I-16.  It was cancelled.  $5.
Revell Sopwith Triplane.
Airfix Roland C11 Walfisch

1/72 Revell SdKfz7 and 1/72 Revell T34/85.  Thank you Brian.  These are not, as I thought Matchbox repops but more modern moulds with link and length tracks.

AFV Club M548A1 Tracked Cargo Carrier.  Rubber band tracks (two different types, one much better than the other) plus individual styrene links.  Full load of 155mm ammo.  This will probably be hooked up to the Long Tom I purchased recently.

- 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.

Also a complete Tamiya 2.5ton truck accessory parts set ,,,the first set with the .50cal machine gun AA mount and soft cab doors ...very nice and very useful 😀
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 .

That's the very FIRST Airfix Lancaster, all moulded in black!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
