Happy new year everyone.
A new year, a new thread. Please no chit chat. A single comment is acceptable. Once it starts going back and forth then it's going to get deleted. If you want to discuss a post with the OP message them!
We have our caravan on a seasonal pitch in York, they are what I took Easter bank holiday
Squirrel has brought a friend, I can’t work out why some people can’t upload images.

[Mr Bowcat]

A few new kits, hoping these will help me get over 6 months of mojo loss.

 

[spanner570]

Finally managed to get this set for an acceptable financial outlay.



Cheers.

[peterairfix]

A set of aftermarket decals for my heller 1/72 707 as I don't trust the kit ones
And some N gauge buildings as I will be starting a layout this year

 

[Dave Ward]

First delivery of the year - an ebay win. not the cheapest, but I haven't seen this for a long time

............and it's still shrink wrapped - late 70's - I wonder where it's been for nearly 50 years?

What are the National markings on that one Dave? I don’t recognise them.

Portuguese - although I'll probably be using the alternative FAA markings

Another just dropped off I will go into more detail when I start the build

 

[Dave Ward]

Early delivery from postie

Not ebay, but a pre-owned site <£15 delivered - a short run kit. Blue Max, fom Whitstable - they vanished around 2005ish

That looks fun

 

[peterairfix]

A few extras for a build sometime in next few months

 

[Jack L]

Got the usual bit of cash from Mum and Dad for Christmas with the instructions of 'make sure you buy something you want, not something you need.'

Well I definitely don't need one of these. Popped up on Amazon for less than £100 so thought why not.

A quick and clumsy play so far and I can already tell it's going to be a game changer. Every attempt at a diorama seems to go wrong, I get frustrated, and it ends up in the bin. At least I'll be able to get the basic shapes right now.

2 ebay auction purchases arrived today

wish the box looked like this! Very battered, decals scratched <£10 delivered - and it smells very musty!

Not the cheapest buy, <£24 delivered!

One I've been looking out for quite a while

[peterairfix]

Just dropped off

 

[Stefee]

Just arrived from John, time to start detailing the Saturn V slowly but surely.

 

[Dave Ward]

Adding to my collection of Spanish Civil War aircraft postie dropped this off

Two SCW aircraft that are a bit elusive ( at least, at the right price ), are the Heinkel He-112 and the Arado Ar-68. The Republican AF needs a I-153 'Chaika', and a I-16 'Mosca', but those are pretty common. A lot of obscure planes were used, some of which have appeared as resins, vacforms or short run models, but usually attract silly prices!

[peterairfix]

Some wooden decking for my next ship build and no it doesn't begin with a t it begins with a L and I will leave it there

 

[Andy T]

Cockpit set has arrived for my Swordfish

 

[adt70hk]

Cockpit set has arrived for my Swordfish

VERY nice!!

 

[Tim Marlow]

That looks excellent. Should bling up the cockpit nicely.
