1/72 Amodel White Knight & SS1 model kit

1/228 Space Shuttle and Boeing 747 SSC
Tamiya White spray paint

zenrat

Received from evil-bay;
Kovozávody Prostějov Fouga CM-170 Magister "Other Services" (Algeria, Cambodia, Salvador - Salvadoran scheme is particularly pleasing).  I'm plotting a single seat version putting the pilot in the rear seat with the canopy shortened.
Mark 1 Decals - RNZAF 1943-45.
Mark 1 Decals - Indian AF (chakras and tricolour roundels).

And from BNA;
Legend Productions Resin Detail Set for Tamiya Pink Panther Landrover.
Fred

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

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

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Did exactly that! Plus told her I ordered them before Christmas (white lie - it was mid-January) & that I was going to tell her they were coming when they had cleared customs (true), but when I checked to UPS app from Airfix on Monday they were still sitting in Melbourne awaiting that clearance, then the app told me that they had been delivered shortly after midday on Tuesday! :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

Sure, i got mine on ebay because i only thought of checking if they had a working site after i made the purchase on ebay... :rolleyes:
They called Heli Scale Quality from Germany. They make decals and RC helicopter stuff.
The site is https://heli-scale-quality.de/
And the Ebay store: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/heliscalequality?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211
A lot of stuff in several scales, from Vac-formed fuselages and other details but the landing gears only seem to be available in bigger scales from 1/48 and bigger because i haven't found any in 1/72.
They do seem to be rather slow dispatching the items as they have a period of up to 15 days after cleared payment on the ebay listings... :-\

My youngest daughter just returned from Japan and brought back lots of gifts for everyone. I ended up with the Savoia S.21F in 1/48th by Fine Molds from the movie Porco Rosso. Looks great in the box and it looks like I now have my next project!

Thanks, I'll check them out.
Sad there's no 1/72 skids though - that was what I am specifically after.

That lenght of time could be the items if resin are made to order possibly 🤔
