Nice hauls guys.

Having not seen the Williams Bros. kit I can't really compare. I cracked open the box and bags and took some quick shots to show you the quality. It looks pretty crisp with only small amounts of flash here and there. I think someone asked if this was a new mold kit or a re-hash of someone else's. I don't know for certain, but looking closely at the moldings and ejection marks etc indicate to me that this is more likely a "new" kit.
So - weirdly I've noticed that the parts are not numbered and checking the instructions confirms this to be the case. It's not going to be a big deal, but having never bought a kit from Azur/Frrom before I've not seen this before. The only down side to this kit is that it is 1/72. If I had my choice I'd prefer one in 1/48 - the eyes and dexterity aren't what they used to be!

And the buying continues - gotta make sure SWMBO doesn't get wind of this... 
Yes, there is a trend here. Inter-war USAAC paint schemes are a big favourite at the moment - hence the B-10 and P-26 kits.
I have to say these decals look awesome. Hopefully they will work well once applied to the aircraft.

The Mustang will be my first attempt at using a lacquer-based finish: Mr. Hobby Metal Color Aluminum. Won't be 'til warmer weather, when I can open my garage door for good ventilation.
I have a question about the Do217 that I'll post in Aviation Technical.
Working on my Where Eagles Dare-inspired Ju52 right now.

A Covid isolation induced supply.....I'm 67. Hope to set up my covid vaccination ASAP.
I heard on of the side effects of the Covid-19 vaccine is an increased desire for more model kits. Also the CDC is recommending letting the recently vaccinated pursue these desires to the upmost, short of going to the poorhouse. Anybody else hear that?

Not sure what's going on - yet to receive the vaccine but I am showing severe side effects as evidenced below...
Think I may have to stop now - the Chairman of the Board has commented today on the growing stack of kit boxes. Have to find a better hiding place!

I keep my boxes of built kits and use them to store spare parts. They are all slipped among my unbuilt kit boxes and so if the question ever comes up why I have so many unbuilt models I can say without lying that most of those are already built. Slipping a new kit among all those boxes is never noticed.
