Popped into my local Modelzone yesterday, it being a bank holiday in the UK. Came away with an Academy 1/48 P-47D "Gabreski" for £15 and a 1/48 Academy F-86F "The Huff" for £10.

Both good bargins and could've come away with a lot more much to the wife's displeasure

There are times when I realize that it is probably a good thing that I am not married.
And a good haul there sir.

 

[Airframes]

Ah, marriage has it's magical side - your skydiving rig turns into a washing machine, and your modelling equipment turns into kitchen appliances, it's magic!

 

[N4521U]

Now THAT is a very good analogy!

Other times, your hard money, turns into, handbags, shoes, lovely stones, scented candles and designer pillows!

lately with the disappointment of the purchase of the new house left me very depressed and having no place to stop buying and was selling anything else, for that already began to change, then, I will buy a small thing but the truth, because with 400 I have no models to make room for them into conditions, finally, I put the last shopping ....
p-47 d-20 Arii / Otaki and the rising of the decals for the nose art MTO GB

hannants taking advantage of rebates on the hasegawa has a B-25H for the PTO GB

and the second-hand market scalemates mantilletes two car two Russians a su-85 to 1/72

which I have in hand and for a isu 152-1 / 35 means that I have to start scracth.

 

[Wurger]

Nice.

 

[Trebor]

couldn't resist this beauty at the Olympic Air Museum in Olympia, WA. only $30. haven't decided on an airline, yet.

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!! O_O

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

If I had to guess I'd say TWA. Good find Trebor!

 

[Trebor]

unfortunately, no. TWA never operated DC-6's. but it was popular among a lot of other airlines. Today, at least one carrier uses them as cargo planes. Everts Air Cargo. you often see them in Fairbanks and Anchorage

 

[Lucky13]

Oooh waaaiiiit.....can feel something.....hang on......yip.....think a 'poll' is needed!

 

[Wurger]

Nice haul Rob.

 

[Trebor]

since this bird was molded as a C-118, my carrier choices are limited. I'm thinking either Alaska Airlines, or Everts Air Cargo

Nice buys guys. Sergio, I made the "J" version of that B-25 kit a few years and and have nothing but good things to say about it. Probably the best engineered 1-72 scale kit I've made.

I believe I saw one at Anchorage. I thought that it was a DC-7 from a distance but of course I probably could not tell the difference standing under it! It was beautiful and I was thrilled like seeing it took me back to another era.

I'm considering both of those at the moment! wish I could get them at that price! both are equivalent of double that here....

My latest to turn up on Thursday...One each in all 3 scales!
