I nearly bought a 'pre owned' Kinetic /Italeri F-86 a couple of weeks back Kevin, but decided against it at the last minute. I've just spotted a mint, still sealed Hasegawa F-86 in 1/32nd for only £14 (about $22) !
Think I might get that when the place re-opens after Christmas.

That sounds like a good deal Terry. I like your philosophy on the P-47 - got a free sheet of decals so need to get a kit for it!

It's a b*gg*r, ain't it?!!

First model purchase in quite awihle the 1/32 F-86 by Kinetic nice mouldings but kinda sparse on the interior.I seem to remember on a review get an aftermarket seat maybe an interior to boot.

Hi,
when I did mine, I used the after-market interior set supplied by AMS Resin, a very good one in my opinion.

Here some pictures of mine after assembly and painting:

nice stuff, there!

I decided to pick these bad boys up from Michael's (arts and crafts store) I was surprised to see a Willy's Jeep in 1/24 scale. something I've been wanting to do for a while (plus a Kubelwagen, and a couple of tanks in that scale) really awesome this thing comes with some small arms. I'll be using the Thompson in a same-scale '32 Ford Sedan build in the future. and I'll probably duplicate the bullethole decals, somehow. or make my own.

And I decided to get another one of these, and build a custom livery on it for a very close friend of mine

I also got some airbrush cleaning supplies from Harbor Freight. has anyone here ever used these, before?

Nice one Rob. What company is it? Italeri make two nice versions of the Jeep in 1/24th scale - a standard military GPW and a fire truck.

The jeep is an MPC kit

Thanks Rob.

Picked up the new 1/72 Airfix Lightning F2A this weekend and placed an order for a 1/48 Eduard Hellcat that I will enter into the Aircraft in foreign service Group Build. The Lightning looks like a very nice kit.

Some nice kits there guys.

Got this birthday present from my family today. Can't wait to see what comes up for Christmas.

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff guys.
Karl, I hope you win it. You could be in luck, as one went for a reasonable price about a week or ten days ago - I think it was around £29 or 30 something, much better than the stupidly high prices they normally go for, like the Hudson, Blenheims and Meteor F4 and F8.
I'm going to order that Meteor F4 conversion kit I mentioned, when the place re-opens after Christmas - for £18 it's not bad value, with a complete wing, and engine nacelles, which more or less 'drop in' on the Tamiya F3, which I already have in the stash. Beats the heck out of 50 or 60 quid average fro the CA kit!
The same place had a Meteor F1 and F3 for £12 each!

cheers mate, one went for £51 two days ago so not getting my hopes up yet !

 

[Lucky13]

Fingers crossed Red 2!
