I'm not convinced by the weathering on that guy's braces

Are they playing darts on that roundel?

Nice one Dave! Sadly I only started my 2018 build run a month ago so I've a bit of catching up to do.

This looks great! The tone and details are so well scaled it looks realistic.

I'm so glad I only paid £50 for this on eBay. I'm building it at the moment and the base kit is a right shocker. There's more flash than a 70's disco and so many sink marks I've lot count. The mold misalignment on some parts has required them to be sliced in half and reassembled while others have been short-shot so the plastic is so thin the part has broken. I've had to reinforce these with plastic strip. I'm building this along side Revell's Bismarck whose quality makes it hard to believe that the New Jersey is from the same company. Still, I persevere...

Well I forgot about the WEM Vulcan PE set I had already ordered. But then others just... happened... like the new Tamiya Spitfire I just couldn't help ordering. And the Polar Lights Defiant. And.... others.... but.... Bigger Boys made me do it!!

……...the sound of my stomach?

Well that went out of the window in spectacular style

Can't be taken from the BBC version. They'd be drifting into facts.

Agreed. Looks absolutely awesome! Definitely one for the stash!

How so? It would be at least another 70 odd years before the PC.

Very deadpan sir!

My final buys for the year (I think!). Except for the F-15C which I've just included for context, all of these have been on my wish-list for sometime. The K'Tinga and corresponding lighting kit have been a must have since the days of the resin kits but Round 2's development of an IM version took over from that. I will be working on a conversion kit to build as the Q'Onos One from ST:VI. The Two Bobs F-15 decals on the upper left are long OOP and I've been chasing these down ever since seeing photo's of this aircraft in flight. I had originally planned to build the C as a Lakenheath bird to go along side my Mudhen, but upon seeing the 'Dragon Eagle' decided this must be the one to go for. To compensate, I managed to bag the GWH F-15B/D on the bottom left for £25 to which I will add the Caracal decals I originally bought for the C so I can still have a fighter accompaniment (albeit in the guise of a D) to my E. Finally there's the Great Western which I've wanted to go alongside my Great Eastern. Well that's it for the year unless any manufacturer suddenly pops out with a 'must have'. Like a 1/48 F-14D by AMK for instance?

Doh!!!
