Father's Day afterthought. I chose three old dogs for Father's Day. The old dogs were $45, which I thought was pretty good.

That is a nice little selection, like the Japanese Bf 108B, unusual subject.

I was going to go with the Fly 1/72 scale, but the Bf 108 B was at a great price, so I had to have it.

Thank you. The more unusual the better. I think the Japanese service Helldiver is one those. Glad I have the decals to build one.

Not purchases as such, but generously sent by Evan (A4K).
Another S&M Models resin Andover kit, and the Airfix (ex-Italeri / Heller) C-130 Hercules, with extra decals, and with (corrected) resin engine nacelles to follow.
Just need to get the Mach Models Argosy now, to complete the trio of RAF aircraft I jumped from.
Many thanks to Evan for these.

Mach Models Argosy. Hope there cheaper over your way, selling at $119 here. Never knew you bailed out of one Terry, they were buggers to work on, nothing fitted and a hammer was standard maintenance kit.

The Argosy kit is around £55 over here Vic.
Did my Para course on the Argosy in November 1970, when 1 PTS was still at Abingdon. Hercs were in service, but I didn't get to jump one until the following year, although the Argosy was still used for some jumps over the next couple or so years.

EDIT: Just checked Hannant's web site, and the Argosy kit is £53.99.

You jumped out of perfectly good airplanes? Well I mean I understand the Argosy, but a Hurky, REALLY! I don't know about you people. If you'll just set still and keep your tray in the upright position. The pretty little airplane will bring you nicely back to the ground! Trust me I fixed them. I won't fly on them

I didn't know that you were into S&M....
