Been completely out of the modelling 'game' for a while, major mojo loss,
However my son purchased the 1/48 Hawker Hunter from Airfix for my christmas present and that got me fancying building a couple of aircraft to break up the armour I normally do,
so a quick wander around the interwebs and I managed to grab this the other day,
After having a look over the sprues I'm totally stunned by the level of detail packed into the kit, so after way too long I'm looking forward to making a start,

Hi all
Firstly apologies for not being around much recently but sickness hit the house over Christmas and I'm still not fully over it a week later.
So the following is a summary of recent arrivals, some Christmas related and some 'general' purchases, so not strictly speaking 2025 but you'll have to forgive me
ACW as usual

----------------------------------------------
'General' arrivals- The brown packaged contains 650 sheets of the packing paper I use to line the bottom of my spray booth (someone on a local FB group was getting rid of it very cheap just before Christmas....for those familiar with the UK, it's the same paper that fish and chip shops use!!
- The paint in the middle is for my entry to a Mustang GB on another forum I am on.
- Masks for some recent wingy purchases
Christmas arrivals- Tempest and tea were Secret Santa presents from someone at work - clearly they know me very well!!!!
- The Spitfire, mask, SdKfz231 and chocolates were from the kids. I think you will agree that they have a keen eye!
- Bought the Hasegawa Typhoon with some Christmas money and even got some cash off the sticker price thanks to a birthday voucher from early December. I've been debating getting one of these for a while now, as even though the kit is 25 years old it's still the best 1/48 Tiffy out there and it's the one kit missing from my collection. Not saying that this is the final kit for the stash but there aren't any others I want when I browse the internet.

We got about 6" of powder last night & it's still falling at a pretty good rate. No wind so easy shoveling. About 20F so pretty brisk.
Well another 3" since breakfast, still powder thank god, but now a little breezy. Brrrrrrr
BTW, love the Ferrari badge on the tractor.Last edited by minitnkr; 06 January 2025, 17:16.Comment
