I like those 1/48 kits Andy. I built that SS-100 tractor, it was part of a kit towing an 88mm. It built up well.

Got a delivery from the shop today 
Me too Jim I have just about all the Tamiya ones now.
These came in the mail today. I’m waiting for my LCVP to arrive so I can start the D-Day GB
Great haul Lee!! Sad thing is I have all of those in the stash!!
I read some reviews that this Hawk T1 from Revell is a little better than the newer Airfix kit, I may build them together and show my progress here so you guys can make a more informed decision for all your BAe Hawk in 1/72 needs.
I also have a Fujimi Hawk which was based on the prototype which is exactly the reason I have it!
This one will be completed as XX162 of the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine
Miko (well Hawk'd up!)

This is some of your fault I’m collecting these. lol
I'm trying to find some inspiration, the stash hasn't thrown up any candidates, so a peruse on ebay snagged this
......................at a very reasonable price!

Nice. I always thought these thing were huge, until I saw a pocture (deliberate!) of a French officer standing next to one. Tank-on-tank vs. an A7V? When did that happen?
A French History Book?

It doesn’t quite show that, of course — it’s a St. Chamond passing by a burning A7V, nothing says one knocked out the other
The stash needs another Lightning, or two!! I have a plan to build a couple of early Lightnings, not sure which this one will be, either. . .
F1 XM137 of the Air Fighting Development Squadron whose role it was to work up Britain's first supersonic interceptor to operational readiness ahead of the adoption of the Lighting F1 to 74sqn at RAF Coltishall
or. . .
P1b XA847, an early pre production aircraft and first British aircraft 'unofficially' capable of 1000mph, but not having the fuel capacity to transit through reciprocal flights in order to satisfy FAI rules to be accepted as a world record
Miko (Lightningophile!)

Time to kick start the hobby.......if I can
I'm so out of practice I've given some thought to my first few new kits
And so I got these.....done the honda at least 4 times over the years so I know it's straight forward.......which I need so I can rebuild confidence

My name is Andrew.....
...yep you can guess where this going!!
In most cases no major bargains this time but I did get some minor discounts on some of these.
The one exception are the paints and Airfix Spit...thanks to a shop voucher, a £16 purchase cost only £11!
Oh and see if you can spot the outlier in what's below!
@Lee Drennen - have a looksee at what I have bought....sad thing is the national UK craft retailer I got them from keeps throwing vouchers at me and so I think I have all the smaller 1/72 wingy kits they do!! :smiling5:
@BattleshipBob - further to your email (I'll reply at some point today)......below are some recent purchases

Awesome haul Andrew I just received my Value packs in the mail this week. You did good grasshopper. I’ll post later of my haul this week.
There's a rumour out there about a Spanish Civil War GB, so...
But like I need an excuse to get a kit that gives me the option to do ten different licensed sub-variants of a Vickers 'E'. I'm already up to six-or-seven with Polish ones...

I think you do. I just keep finding more 1/72 Airfix lol.
The Higgins boat is a nice kit, you should enjoy that one!
