Latest acquisitions

[rickoshea52]

Modelzone's tractor beam captured me and didn't let me go until I bought these;

Airfix JU-52, Sea King AEW, Douglas Dauntless, Trumpeter Warrior AFV all in 1/72; Airfix WMIK & Snatch L/R in 1/48 and a Grumman Avenger from Academy in 1/48. I also recently acquired a 1/24 scale Land Rover and 1/72 Dakota from Italeri.

Rick very nice did you take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer on Airfix/Revell models?

Errrrr? Yes. I watched The Battle of Midway last week and that influenced some of the choices. I've always fancied doing a Ju-52 after seeing one at Cologne airport a few years ago - and there is another war movie influence here with Where Eagles Dare.

Looking forward to seeing the Ju52 built Rick

Aunty Ju is at the bottom of the pile mate. I'm gonna do the landie's first then having a crack at the USN aircraft before taking on the Sea King. Might as well seeing as I used to work on the HAR 3's at Lousymouth.

Not a kit, but I found this on ebay the other day. Thought it would be useful for wiring and cables etc. Being aluminium it isn't springy and therefore is easy to shape - like lead wire but already coloured.

PS It's 0.7mm diameter so the purists might feel it is too thick - it scales up to about 1" diameter in 1/35 - but for larger scales it should look OK.
