Des Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Eventually received the last of items ordered in 2020 , am intending to be more restrained in 2020 but already spent far too much on a book ordered yesterday and then there are the Airfix Chipmunks , Kinetic Harriers , ICM B-26K to come later in the year so maybe not too restrained after all.

lasermonkey Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A Zvezda 1/72 MiG-21 Bis off eBay for around a tenner, posted. I decided I couldn't wait for the Eduard one, though whether I actually build it before Eduard's is released is another matter entirely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A very large order of decals, etch, and masks from the Big H to rebuild my stocks after the Great Purge. Stuff to do Kittyhawks, Typhoons, Spitfires (natch), and a Defiant. Trying to cover my bases for future plans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abat Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 My latest kit is this 1/72 Hobbycraft DHC-2 Beaver which I purchased on gumtree. I’ll be building it up into a Super Spread agricultural aircraft that I was a passenger in back in 1983. it looks a nice kit and has a transparent fuselage for masking windows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a vinyl mask set for it. My latest acquisition is a Mach 2 EC-24. Looks fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here she is operating as a fire bomber out of the Snowy Range airstrip in early 1983. The red staining to the underside and top of the aircraft is Phos-Chek fire retardant. Quite a wild ride! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been wanting to do a Beaver bush float plane for 20+ years now Just so glad you did not say that you've been waiting to do a beaver for 20+ years...... 😊😇 And on a completely different note.. Here are my latest acquisitions. Thought I'd treat myself to some books from Haynes (and from what I've read over the last few days in one of the other forums - these may be the last ones I buy from them!) And from the Big H - a couple of Spitfire Mk XIV (civilian) couldn't decide which scheme I liked best, so decided to do both of them, and a couple of masking sets - canopy for the Airfix kits, and camouflage for the Eduard. I've also bought from Valiant wings their FW190 dual book set in the Airframe & Miniatures Series, and received as a gift the Mosquito volumes in the same series and the Hellcat Book. I have now managed to acquire 10 volumes of this series and they are all fantastic reads. Hawker Typhoon (including Tornado) - Vol 2 Focke Wulf Fw-190d & Ta-152 Vol 3 Hawker Tempest - Vol 4 Focke Wulf Fw-190 (Radial engine versions) - Vol 7 de Haviland Mosquito (pt 1) - Bomber & Photo Reconnaissance - Vol 8 de Haviland Mosquito (pt 2) - Fighter-Bomber & Night-Fighter - Vol 10 Supermarine Spitfire (pt 1) - Merlin Engined - Vol 12 (discounted as some of the colour profile pages had been misprinted in black and white!) Supermarine Spitfire (pt 2) - Griffon Engined - Vol 13 Grumman Hellcat - Vol 15 Hawker Hurricane - Vol 16 (And it now seems that they may be re-printing the Part 1 of the Spitfire book, and also the part 2 of the Mosquito book! - Just my luck!)

593jones Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The Revell (ex-Dragon) 1/48 Junkers Ju188 from Ebay. Always liked the Ju188 and I'm not sure that ICM will produce one in my lifetime, so I bit the bullet and went for it. At least it's cheaper than the original Dragon boxings I've seen! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
