I've read lots of good reports about the new Academy F-14A, it looks fabulpous in the box. The Flak 40 is for a diorama base I'm building to display my expanding Luft/Waffen '46 collection.

My stash has grown slightly over the past month. Firstly a selection of kits direct from the big Red Box Logo! /media/tinymce_upload/06e565576b5b0ba36e48e09301bea112.jpg

Next is some aftermarket decals and a couple of PE sets.

Finally we have some resin bits. Unfortunately I made a mistake with the Bf109 exhausts, I ordered 1:72nd parts when I wanted 1:48th scale so it's back to the Internet basket

In an attempt to improve my canopy and wheel/tyre assembly painting I purchased these mask kits (Zero, Sabre, MiG-17) along with a photo-etch kit for the MiG-17. As I have an Eduard MiG-15 Profi-pack kit it could be interesting to build together sometime soon./media/tinymce_upload/17ada40bbd27c6e7192911454624b0ba.jpg

I thought as it's the 80th Anniversary I had to do something BoB, and as the only main aircraft I don't have, and as it's just been released I just had to get it. Also something to add to my Korean War collection that's not an F-86 or MiG 15.

By the way, anyone interested in the BoB, and Heinkels and Blenheims in particular should check out these links from the Kent BoB Museum at Hawkinge, where a full size Heinkel 111H-16 (not Casa), that saw service with the Luftwaffe and Spanish Air Force, and a Bolinbroke (Canadian Blenheim) are being restored.

Just had my Vintage Classic SR79 trimotor arrive. I'm quite pleased by the look of it. I've had it on order for something like 20 months though! I found a very overpriced vintage Airfix Fiat G.50 on eBay so I'll build them as a double.

I just bought a Tamiya 1/24 1966 Beetle for a colleague who's been off work for months for health reasons and is having mental problems. He's not a modeller, but used to own Beetles and Im hoping kit bashing will help him. So Ive got the kit, and am providing brushes, paints, etc.  Gonna drop it off to him next week. Lets hope it helps.  (Thought the Airfix kit was too basic).

For myself?  Airfix Blenheim, Fujimi Ida. Airfix Wimpey on order.
