I think the below Eduard FW190 was going away because it was on sale at Eduard for 50% off but it sold out by the time I circled back to potentially purchase it. I found it on another European online reseller (last one) so I grabbed it. I wanted this specific Wurger because unlike the other Eduard 190 kits this one comes with an assortment of bombs, fuel tanks and rockets.

I also picked up Furballs new Decal set for the SBD Diver Bomber. It has a bunch of Decals for SBD-3 to SBD5's and has decals for McClusky's SBD which you can see in the picture below, Ensign John Leppla who shot down 4 zeros I believe in his SBD and of course Dick Best's SBD who is so well portrayed, I think, in the recent Midway Movie. There's also markings for an Atlantic SBD and two U.S. Army A-24 Banshees. I plan to use my accurate miniatures SBD-3 as the kit of choice. Well. my only choice actually since I have just one.

Newest arrival. I ran across it by accident while doing a search and found one in Eastern Europe. Only one he had!

My latest...

Onemanmodel 1:72 HS.780 (A.K.A. the Hawker- Siddeley Andover C.1)

It is a multi-media kit. Most components are 3D-printed ABS plastic, with resin props, spinners, and undercarriage, and mixed vinyl, etc components for windows, instrument panels, markings, etc.
A very nice touch is the option of 'kneeling' undercarriage, which I will probably do with mine.
Kit contains a complete interior. I need to check references, but it looks like everything is there that should be. Even the rear fuselage interior under the tail and tailplanes is detailed should you model the loading doors open (which I will).

I will be making NZ7626 of the RNZAF, the aircraft that flew me 'home' when my time in the Air Force ended (Damn the 1992 defence cuts)

(Many thanks to Terry for the heads up on this kit!)

Wow, now that is a lot of kit detail and maybe a bit of cleaning up before you can get stuck in. Is this going to be another of your gems Evan, looking forward to it.
 
Certainly looks the biz Evan, and glad you got one so soon.
I'm tempted by the seller's offer he sent, but I wouldn't have room for a second Andover, once I've built the one you're sending.
Looking forward to your model coming together.
