from King kit
1:35 Tamiya US and German infantry weapons sets  both missing bits, but .the .50s and the fausts are all there  ( nice and cheap)
an Esci 1:48 weapons set pre started but the mavs are present 
and new a Tamiya Pteranodon  as who dosnt like dinosaurs that soar

and from Ground Zero Games 2  UNSC  fleet tenders, ( both will get shortened by 1 stores station to give the a previous hull a second station and the other to create a 3rd ER cruiser), a UNSC river class cruiser ( to be stretched) , a UNSC Gaia class super dreadnought for the main fleet.  and for further fun when i do the 1:350 enterprise kit a 6mm interface transport ( dropship) and some VTOL AV6 troop transports ( approx 1285 -1:300 scale but as they are sci-fi whos to argue the sizes )

After seeing that Geoff Thorvic had taken delivery of that wonderful 1/700 kit of the Atlantic Conveyor, I just had to get one, and it's just arrived. It's AMAZING, and a superb piece of resin moulding.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

1 x 1/72 Special Hobby SH 72508 D.H. Mosquito NF Mk.XXX

You have my most heartfelt condolences. 

Yeah, but as you said, I needed the exhausts; I can always whiff the rest.

Should have asked, I moulded a set of Sea Hornet NF21 exhausts which are identical.

From the Big H a couple of 3D printed parts to go with my IBG Spitfire Mk I. Their own exhausts and Eduard's wheels. Both sets are exquisite.  :thumbsup:

I sense a bit of a Falklands theme starting here.  ;D

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

Surprisingly accurate reporting.  Way better than todays risible standards.

Compensating for the fever by snagging some cheapish Swedish decals off the Evilbay. All of them originally designed for the J29 Tunnan in various versions, but I got them mainly because of a really good content of unit badges.

Now back to the tea mug and an an annoying risk assessment I really should have completed last week.. :P

That's the fella!  I always wanted to spoof it, but with a sinking carrier instead.  If The RN had managed to sink the carrier - they did try and chased it all the way back to Argentina.
