These three arrived today:

Italeri 1/72 F-14, factory sealed, 99 cents


These two arrived as a combo for $4.25

 
Bought this kit since it was on X-mas discount at the LHS. I guess the Hasegawa P-40 series are the gold standard, but based on what I've seen of this kit there's still a very good looking model to be made out of this ex-AMT kit. Comes with markings for no less then six a/c (a Dutch one among them). With my P-40 TOmahawk put on hold for a bit (cause I need to figured out what I want to do with certain inaccuracies that come with that kit) this might be a good substitute for the foreign service GB without deviating too much from my original subject.

Jelmer, it's been at least two weeks since you bought a kit! What the hell man! Last one this year?

It's been a little while yeah, prolly the last purchase this year indeed ...with a few days off coming up I was rather looking forward to do some building rather then buying. I do want to turn this P-40 into a Dutch a/c but prolly not 'Wham Bam' as provided by the kit decals. There's a few a/c that flew in the post-war years that had a rather funky scheme of Olive drab and patches of bare metal up to almost the whole rear fuselage being bare metal. I need to print a few new decals to make that happen though, but it would make a good subject for the 'foreign service' GB I think. Something like this:

Some good catches there guys.
This punch set arrived from Amazon today. Not as precision made as the Waldron sets, but good enough for my needs, and at approximately £5 (about $7.5) I'm happy !

Got these in the mail yesterday. Luftwaffe models and RAF decals. 109 is gonna be over all blue. Heard the V-1 had dimension issues. Going to search the webs to see how hard it is to correct or might just build it as is and beg the forums forgiveness. Two questions. Did the RAF test drive the V-1 and would this qualify as a GB12 build?
