I've wanted one for ages and as I was already sourcing parts to build a couple of Phasor II clones to sell, it seemed silly not to. Which sci-fi series do they come from, I don't recall them on Star Trek? 1
airfixpeter Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 I went rather mad on my purchases as I never buy three together. 4
Mr T Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 After confidently thinking that a good chunk of my preorders would no show up at the same time, guess what?, four of them came together. I am now the proud possessor of An Airfix Wellington II An AVA Beechcraft King Air A KP DH5 A Modelvisit Mirage IIIO. Fortunately for many years I have run a slush fund that helps pay for models. I started it when I thought how to pay for models when I retire. That event happened earlier than I thought, but the principle has still held good. I have another purchase that will materialise at the end of the week in the shape of a new central heating pump. Paying for that will come out of general expenses. I am glad I have never smoked, gambled or chased loose women, and instead spent the money on modelling (although the loose women had an appeal). 6 1
alt-92 Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 I think I got lucky last weekend. AMS has held a weekend sale and I picked up the Duo Mirage F-1 kit at 30% off. That may have been an oops, when I returned home, the kit wasn't listed as discount anymore. Still, can't resist an oddball so this went along was well. Only 2 ever built, used as testbed for the giant AA-3 missiles. 5

Tim R-T-C Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 That Yak-25 is a beauty! My latest arrival is this Kami de Koro Yak-36, the original Soviet VTOL testbed that led to the Yak-38. Its a (very) rudimentary resin kit but the only source of this model in-scale. 2

lasermonkey Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 A Revell 1/72 Mi-28. I received a pretty good offer from an eBay seller and thought it too good to pass up.
psdavidson Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 An SIHRSC file, which seem to be somewhat legendary in this forum. Let's hope it makes some of the filling/sanding cycle easier. 'twas but 3.30 from ebay, including the handle, so no big loss if it's not. I could always bake it in a cake for a prison breakout..... 3

stevehnz Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 A Smer MS.225 from Cornwall Model Boats. A bit of model envy from the French Fancy GB. From the local auction site, an Airfix Tornado GR.1 & a KP (old) Po-2. Another dose of retro mania. Steve. 1
Tomjw Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 The 1/72 Trumpy Tupolev Tu-22K Blinder. That completes my Soviet bomber obsession. 1
PhantomBigStu Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Some paint, and a hasegawa f-35b for a rather bargainous price, didnt want to buy any kits as I'm considering expanding my fledgling 1/200 resin airliner collection but i have sold a few things and I'm unable to visit my local probably have the funds for both, now to not drop this one on its canopy and actually finish it..... edit: never actually confirmed that paint order, decided I didn't actually need some of them which allowed me to order from the other supplier for a particular brand and ended up having a kit browse and adding a hobbyboss fw190 to my cart as like the camo options, but them required me to add some RLM colours so actually ended up with an even bigger order.... Edited October 6, 2021 by PhantomBigStu 2
lasermonkey Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 A Smer 1/72 (ex-KP) Su-7 for under £9 posted. Thought it was worth a punt. I know there's a better kit out there, but it's more than I'm gonna pay for it. 1
Procopius Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Some masks and PE bits from Hannants, plus the new DK DAF Kittyhawks and DAF Mustangs sheets. 4
Hoppy Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Just received the IWATA / Dream Gear ARKHITECT space ship from our local supplier SMS Paints in Melbourne. WOW !!!!!!!!!! It is a clip together model complete with built in light ways for the supplied LED lighting system. Lights with different defusers to provide the different engine light colours, running lights, crew accomodation and lights for the stand. Instructions excellent, plastic is sharp and detail great. Only 3 colours required if you want to paint, light gray, dark gray and red brown. If you want a change or a mojo reboot, this maybe it 😍 https://www.scalemodeller.com.au/products/1-3000-arkhitect-advanced-research-colonizer-model-kit 2
stevehnz Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 A 1/24 scale, Hasegawa Lancia Stratos Safari Rally boxing, from ebay, recently missed one locally & this one was only slightly more. A slightly reckless buy having just got home from night shifts & not in full control of myself, least, that's my story & I'm sticking to it. Steve. 1 10
