Where did you go on the Net to order that please Womby?

Quote from: NARSES2 on June 18, 2025, 05:18:57 AMBeen waiting for these since they were first announced. Ordered from the Big H Saturday afternoon, delivered Tuesday afternoon  :thumbsup:

Not sure whether to build them as real world or Wif them on the basis that BFW were allowed to export small numbers of these early models, which in reality were more prototype than production aircraft, in order to test them in different conditions ?

If Wiffed then probably do Greek, Turkish, Portugese & one of the Baltic states. Whichever path I go down I can see a subsiduary BFW production line being set up in SE19  ;)

That one had crossed my mind, as had Norway I must admit.

Bought a box of secondhand R/C Japanese cars all non-runners and playworn. Two are beyond repair but the others with a few extra parts such as door mirrors and maybe a respray. Just have to figure out what they are, make and model using the Internet.

Renewed my Airfix Club membership yesterday morning and received the Welcome Pack this morning  :o which included the Club boxing of the Me 410 where one of the options is the example captured and tested by the RAF.

Got a huge win today, got news of loads of modelkits arriving in a nearby secondhand store.
jumped on the ebike this morning, came home with:

Revell 1/120 Douglas DC-9
Revell 1/144 BAe 146 (with limited edition DACO Sabena decalset in the box)
Revell 1/144 Boeing 737-800
Revell 1/72 F-16A "Comete" (been looking for this one for 20 years, was the first viper kit ive ever build, lovely scheme, lots of extra's)
Revell 1/72 TF-104G Starfighter
Revell 1/72 CH-47D Chinook HC.Mk.1
Revell 1/72 Fokker D.VII
Airfix 1/76 Airfield control tower
Airfix 1/72 Sopwith Camel

there was also a revell 1/144 Hawker Hunter, but upon opening the box, it only included the decals and parts for the underwing payloads, so i kinda got ripped off for this one, luckily it only cost me a few cents and these can be used as parts for a future build.

all in all, i got the lot for 30 euro's, but it didnt cost my anything as payed for the whole thing with ecocheques (kinda like foodstamps, but for buying ecofriendly- or secondhand products)
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.
