Recent Purchases

[Vic Balshaw]

I have several duel sets of decals as I forget I already had a set, some of the fairly expensive, such as Afterburner and Furball, so don't feel lonely,

Been down the road a few times as well, end up purchasing a kit to fit the decals or PE.................................................................Well, can't waste them!!

I never build during the school year. I can't enjoy it the way I do during the summer time. I tried once and the result was a dead crew lol. The one time I built one was a MPM Aichi Seiran. It was a nightmare. My kid walked it and picked it up to look at it. She accidentally dropped it and there were no survivors. Now, I just build as soon as the calendar says June 9th. I have already picked out the 13 I want to begin with. That could change. The recent ones I have picked up look very interesting.

Why don't you just follow in your own time the current GB list, it will give you a theme to follow and you can either post the build as you go on Start to Finish Builds or when the build is finished, post as Your Completed Kits. Just an idea. Of course, you could also enter the GB and push through a couple of kits within the time frame.

Another interesting and very well priced snag for the stash, Italeri's take on the "Beer Run" Spitfire Mk IX.

I do like the story of the beer run Spits, but NB there's no evidence to say that Johnnie Jonson was one of the delivery drivers!

Italeri's 1/48 Spits are reissues of a kit by Ocidental, they look decent enough in the box but I don't know how they stack up against other brands yet. That said, Italeri's boxings are almost worth getting for the "Super Decal" sheets alone, which often offer interesting schemes. I especially like the look of the Dutch Spit:

This sounds like a good idea. When Spring Break hits, I will see about getting it organized.
