Nice haul, Rui! 

Plenty of goodies there, i know! 
I'm especially glad that i got to buy the Hasegawa F-15EX cause i'd actually ordered one back when they first released it but it got lost during the trip from Japan to Portugal and i never got it.
When i tried to buy another, they'd already sold out and being one of the "Limited edition" kits, i only got the chance to buy it again now on this second release.

Similar scenario with the Model Maker decals although i did not buy those in the first release. I made up for that mistake now that they've been reprinted and i'm still thinking of buying a few more just have available for whiffing. 

Mirage IIIB will be a Whif in PoAF service, to stand beside the Mirage V PL(M) and other variants i also want to build like the IIIEPL, which is more of an "Almost was..." instead of a "What if...?".

Nice find with the F-15EX, took me quite some time to get mine and cost a bit too. Where did you get the FAB scale pylons for it though?

Some transfers from Blue Rider.

These have lots of potential for late war nazi and early post war soviet aircraft.

These I will be putting on many Japanese aircraft.  The current Ginga build will be getting a set.

These will probably end up on a Jug.

And these might actually end up on a Harvard.

Whoa - those are some seriously obscure markings Fred. I don't think I've ever seen those Bulgarian ones before.

Blue Rider have released some really micey stuff.  I think I've some 1920s Afghan markings somewhere.  I just wish someone did 1930s Persian/Iranian markings as I've had a hankering to do several German prewar types in their markings.  They were looking at the Junkers Ju 86 for certain.

Received from Scorpion Miniature Modelling

All 1/35, but way too many bits to individually list, but enough parts to convert one of the AFV Club Centurion kits into a Mk.12. I also bought the Centurion Mantletless Turret, so I need to get the most of what I have just bought, again, to convert another kit into that.
