[Catch22]

Congrats Andy! Always nice to be on the winning side of one of those. I was down to the wire with someone for an AU-1 a number of months ago, and ended up losing, but another one popped up the next day and I managed to get that one, so I've been on both sides .

Well done Andy.

I was bad. Last week my club held their anual modeling show and I was able to score these kits.

These two kits ran me $4 each

The Thud is a kit I always wanted to build but just haven't had the time. This kit usually goes for $18 at my LHS. I got it for $4. The Sabre which was the one kit I set out looking for ran me $10. The guy wanted $18.

These two kits cost me $4 for the Enola Gay and $2 for the Belle.

Next was these. The Crusader cost me $8, the SM79 was $3 (now I have what I need to finish my Airfix SM79 I started way back when) and the Blenheim ran me $4.

Over all not a bad score.

This does not include the 2 B-17's I bought on thursday, Revells Little Miss Mischief and Academys B-17G model which will be used at the Assembly Ship Black Bitch. Loof for more on that one in my "No rest for the War Weary" build thread.

Nice deals Dirk!

Karl will be happy with your score as well, now he can buy more kits, with the excuse....'look darling dear, they've got more kits than I do, surely you don't want that do you?' Followed by his head on her lap and sad puppy eyes...

Or followed by his hands over his crotch and tears in his eyes!!!
Good haul there Dirk.

Nice haul Dirk! I've wanted that F-102 for some time but haven't been able to locate it anywhere.

The mailman just brought this one. Got a good deal on it at $21, but it came from Hong Kong and it took a month to get here.

Very cool Glenn

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice Glenn. I assume it was from E-Bay as I've seen a lot if stuff coming out of Hong Kong there.

Nice kit I believe. I want to do a 'razorback' Jug again, even if it's the old Monogram kit.

Yes it was eBay Andy. I didn't realize it was coming from Hong Kong until I saw the package today with all the Chinese stamps on it. Must have come by boat.

The old Monogram kit is actually pretty good except for the raised panel lines. With what you're doing with the even older Hurricane right now Terry I'm sure you could work miracles with it.

 

[Airframes]

Yeah, I built one about 25 - 30 years ago, and still have the canopy and wheels. Don't know what happened to the rest of it though !!!

I made one for a diorama when I was in Highschool. Maybe 1980 or so A D-Day crash landing Haven't thought about that one in years. I think it might still be up in the attic somewhere. I'll have to have a look for it.

 

[Lucky13]

Got it today....and as good ol' Terry mentioned, there's room for improvements.

 

[A4K]

My latest: CMK 1:72 A6M2-k conversion set (to modify my Academy A6M5), AeroMaster 1:72 European P-51D/K Mustangs decal set.

Looks like good stuff there Evan.

 

[Wayne Little]

[Crimea_River]

Scored these today at my local shop. I also have second dibs on the Dragon 1/48 Ta 152 H and may need to outbid a guy. We'll see if I get it by next week.

Success! Ta 152H is mine! Pick it up Saturday. Now I'm totally Focked up!
