did a major purchase with tax refund 
got this sexy beast. the 747 won't be staying as the NASA 747 tho.
kinda...went to the dark side a little bit
I remember seeing this bird at McChord AFB YEARS ago. my mother worked at a ceramic plant on McChord, and my father was in the Army based at Ft. Lewis. he took me out on the ramp, and I see this bird sitting out there. I always loved it because of those huge cargo doors looking like a big mouth, and the radome looking like a big nose. I'm certain it looked much like this one does. Old Shakey is still at McChord. It's been restored, and is now part of the museum there, sitting alongside a C-141 Starlifter...I gotta go back there, someday.
I also got some decals and some paint
For the DC-10:
and Xtracolor Fedex Purple Paint
and for the 747:
there's enough decals here to do "Clipper Maid of the Seas"
oh, and the [aint had to be shipped with a kit, so I just chose one
I'll get either Everts Air Cargo or Alaska Airlines decals later...or maybe Northwest, Pan Am jet delivery, Braniff, American.......possibilities....

Gotta get me that Vautour my friend! Great buy!
Trebor - love the Pan Am decals! Clipper Sea Serpent, how cool was that? Shame that once great name is gone in that form and took all those pentions with it.

interesting JU-88. nice score
as my luck would have it, the airline hobby supply guy told me the C-118 is out of stock. -.- so I had to choose nother. so I'll be getting another Revell of Germany B737-800. I'm thinking Delta Air Lines decals later on

Great scores Rob, Tim and Jan!
Some say "you can never have too many Spitfires", I agree with that, and I'm also inclined to think that the same goes for the P-51 Mustang. With a handful of Tamiya Mustangs already in the stash I figured it was about time I got my hands on a Hasegawa kit too....with I also bought an Ultracast resin Aero Products prop (not sure wether it will go on this kit or a Tamiya kit, but I inted to use it to turn either one of these into a P-51K used by the Dutchies in the former Dutch East Indies.

Very nice Jelmer, and yep - as an Austrian model reviewer once wrote: 'You can never have too many Mustangs in the stable...'
