Great stuff Matt, I want to get that Cat and do her up with some RAAF markings.

Very nice Matt! Does this mean there will be some dioramas sometime in the future?

Probably not dioramas, but certainly "poses" with equipment to give some scale. I'm enjoying building theater airplanes and wanted to have some ground equipment to make my pics look a little more "in operations".

I have a 24" base that I am making a asphalt tarmac. Between the airplanes, ground equipment and base, I am hoping to have a picture background (if not somewhat repetitive) to pose my planes before I hang them on my boys ceiling.

My "Cat" is bigger than your "Cat"!

Good idea Matt. BTW, the first kit, with the Jeep and Kuble; is that 1/72nd or 1/48th?

Very recent purchase (about an hour ago!) LHS has 20% off all kits.

Got these two. I'd be in trouble if I brought any more home.

Little WW2 bomber.

And I'm a bit of a Russian bird fetishist too

They're provisionally penciled in for building summer/autumn 2011-ish!

They are all in 1/72nd. Only scale I build. I have one 1/48th F-18 sitting on the shelves, but not sure if I'll build it anytime soon.

Those 1/72 vehicles are great fun to build, you got some nice subjects there Matt. 8)

Nice buys M

No doubt will turn out stuners!

Thanks Matt. I'm always on the lookout for 1/48th scale vehicles and accessories, hence the question.
Nice buys M. I built the Marauder a couple of months back, just got to fit some small details before it goes into a diorama for the Diorama guide.
Even though it dates from the '70's, it's a nice kit overall, but you'll need a LOT of weight to keep the nose down. Only place you can put it is in the radio room, and in the very front of the engine nacelles. BTW, the nose MG, with its ammo box, wont fit where shown. Best to leave off the box and/or put it on the floor, and adapt the flexi-feed to fit. Takes a bit of trial fitting, quite a bit of swearing, and a lot of patience....but it can be done!

Cheers fellas, I'll be calling on your expertise Terry when i'm building the B-26, I've got an A-20 in the stash too, might build them together. It'll be a long way off though! Unless of course we do a medium bomber GB

 

[Catch22]

Very nice stash Rob. That lot will keep you busy, and I notice there's one you can enter in the Group Build!!
Hope to see your entry details soon.....!

 

[Catch22]

Keep in mind though Rob, that White 9 "Seemann" (Seaman) is NOT defence of the Reich, but is from the Med theater.

PS: Just noticed what your username was haha.

 

[Trebor]
