From the Coventry Show, mostly for £cheap, and the one "expensive" one was still a good price: thanks Trevor! :thumbsup:

Lift Here! 1/72nd Boeing Skyfox (resin)
Airfix 1/76th RAF Recovery set, with most of two full sets in it (I think)
PM 1/72nd Spitfire VB floatplane (want the floats, of course)
Academy 1/72nd OV-10A Bronco "Vietnam War" boxing
Revell 1/77th Ford Trimotor (for the Antarctic figures - it's my third)
Academy 1/144th B-47 - this is a good value kit, with decals for SEVEN aircraft, at it's RRP of £20+, and I got this one for half that from a private sale. :thumbsup:

5 x mini funnels & 1 strip of weights (wheel blance weights?) from a tool stall for the pincely sum of £2.

At the Coventry Show yesterday.

A couple more 1/48 Hobbyboss Me262

Esci 1/72 F-15A/C

Some decal sheets and a 1/48 resin S3 cockpit set.

It was a good day. My thanks to Weaver, Scautomation, Dominic, Kit and Richard for manning the stand. We had a good day. 😊

I didn't think that minis were big enough to have funnels, they are hard enough to get into or carry much at the best of times, unless you're trying to beat a world record or something  :rolleyes:

These are for the steam-powered Minis that BL developed as far as prototypes during the 1973 Oil Crisis.

I ordered a Hasegawa X-29 and a UH-60A on Amazon a few days ago. It showed up yesterday. Looks nice in the box. I'm thinking of cutting away most of the cabin and leaving the cockpit of the UH-60 like a CH-54 Skycrane. The X-29 is just handy to have in stock if you need one.
