I'd be interested in your opinion of the Eduard "Hybrid" Avia Mr Chaos as that's the one with the 3D parts ?
Yes it is the new Hybrid edition with 3d print parts. The Parts are looks very good.

Snaffled another Tamiya Mosquito off eBay.  FB.VI 'natch.

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

Not exactly a stash addition, but they are to make an incomplete eurofighter Typhoon complete. Air Graphics models wing tip ECM pods and pylon set to fit said kit. I have another 2 seater that is in need of the same but also a canopy, but Revell can't sort me one out for that, so it will go into the bits box.

Sounds like the "Bullseye" discus bomb:



IIRC Colin originally suggested mounting them on a Mosquito, but I put mine on a Typhoon:

Weaver, that's exactly what they are!. I also like your idea of putting them on the Typhoon.  :thumbsup:

I can't remember if I got a set of those or not. I think I did...  If they're anywhere, it's in the Spitfire conversions boxes (1 A4 paper box and a shoe box above it, the latter has mainly Airkit stuff in it.) Mine would most definitely be added to a Mosquito.

Last year's final orders, this year's first stash entries:

You cannot view this attachment.

From Superhobby, the Freedom models 1/48 F-20A and the AML 1/72 decal sheet for the AVG over China.
And something i'd been wanting to buy for quite a while but kept delaying the purchase until i got an email from The 48ers shop that said the company was shutting down operations and the owner is looking for buyers for his files.
That meant that i had to take the opportunity and order some Reedoak crew figures which are beautifully printed for the Hasegawa and Academy AH-64D/E Apache kits in 1/48  and 1/72, respectively.
These figures weren't cheap but there aren't many companies making these... Now, i just wish they had done the same for the Kittyhawk 1/48 AH-1Z and UH-1Y... or that someone will do some good ones sometime soon.

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.

The 1/600 PE ship railings I ordered from Tom's Modelworks finally turned up - the first set went missing and he replaced them free of charge, so credit where it's due for that!  :thumbsup:

So now I guess I really should get moving on the model/major kitbash, huh...  ;)
Hopefully soon, once I get some of the other stuff off the bench. He says.

Fine Molds 1/72 Savoia S.21F from Porco Rosso.

I was in TG Jones and Forbidden Planet is extended door but one, it'd be rude not to look in. They have a fair few models, but when I've looked before it's only been Gunpla. Today they'd expanded into Macros and some Studio Ghibli kits. Needed to cheer myself up a bit, so the Savoia came home with me.

I thought I got the boxing with two engines but lucked out. It's the two seat version that Fio upgraded after Porco Rosso was shot down.
