Why stop buying because it's summer, eBay's still selling!!!!!!!!

Vic, i'm saving up for my trip to london in August, going to visit Hannants as its next door to the RAF museum so may bring a few bits home !!!!!!

 

[Lucky13]

1/48 it is indeed.....

Just thought that I'd get one for sentimental reasons....built one 20 odd years ago, still remember it as a huge monster!

The last of my recent eBay acquisitions came today. A lot of 4 models I got for $22. The I've been looking for the Curtiss Hawk 75 for quite a wile but every time I saw it the price was outrageous. The P-38 box is a little beat-up looking, but all are in new unbuilt condition except for the SPAD which is a bonus kit they through in.

NICE!

Good stuff Glenn. I've had the Sea Fury for years, waiting to be built, and only recently bought a canopy for it - the kit part is terrible!
Always wanted to do an SOE Lysander, and saw the same kit recently - might get one. What's it like?

Great scores Glenn!

I got given a stash of made Frog, Novo and KP kits today! My mate had them in his attic for about twenty years and decided it was time for a clean up

Alot of twenty's types, WWII types, and 4 post war types, including types I've never seen in model form before (DH103 sea Hornet for example).
Spent the night sorting through a bag of sweepings for miscellaneous components, and washing the kits, not finished yet...

Nice catch Evan. No doubt you can 'rescue' most of these.

 

[A4K]

Yep, I'm hoping so Terry! Some rarities in there, let me know if anything takes your fancy!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

[Lucky13]

............Always wanted to do an SOE Lysander, and saw the same kit recently - might get one. What's it like?

It's an older kit. Might even be one of the ex-Hawk kits that Testors re-boxed. I remember making it when I was 12 or so when in came with a metal plated finish. Doesn't seem like a bad kit for it's age. Nice very fine raised rivet detail on the aluminum skinned sections. The ribs on the fabric covered areas might be a little too pronounced though. Don't know about fit, but I don't remember anything too bad back when I was a kid.

Wow Evan, nice catch! Looks like a lot of unusual types there.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Glenn. I remember seeing the Hawk kit many years ago, and thought it not bad for the time.

 

[Wurger]

He he he .... I had already seen a something similar before, Evan.

 

[Lucky13]

[Wayne Little]

got some serious work ahead of you there Evan!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Nice score Evan. I would like to stumble across something like that someday. It would provide a great resource of kits to test various skills and other things you would be afraid to do on purchased kit.

 

[dirkpitt289]

Some nice pick ups for you to Glenn. I've never seen the SOE Lysander before. Or should I say I never seen an Lysander with ROCKETS before. Very cool
