My stash just grew again 2026

[The Wooksta!]

Didn't get much at the show, apart from:

Bag Special Hobby Mosquito spares, courtesy of Chris.
1 bag of various Xtracolour paints from me mate Bob.  He'd stopped using them and switched to others.

Then I actually spent some of my dwindling stash of Great British Pennies and bought:
PM Sea Fury, as I want to fuselage for a shortcut P.1030 using a Matchbox Tempest wing.  I know for a fact that the two fit.
An IBG Essentials range Spitfire mk Vb early.  Basically, the same as the standard kit, but no decals, distructions or 3d printed bits.  I think I can cope.  At £12, it's half price compared to the normal boxing.  I object strongly to paying more than 20 notes for a 72nd Spitfire in injection.

Plus some wide Tamiya tape and a bottle of Plasticweld.  I *think* I have enough filler to last me until Telford.

From Hobbycraft (because I had a voucher) in Altrincham (because the Stockport branch was out of stock):

Academy 1/72nd A-10A
Tin of Wepro Matt Tango Red spray paint - I think this stuff is the equivalent of Montana spray paint, but we'll see.
