Let's see if we can get this thread jump started. It always cool to see what folks are finding and adding to their stash. The other day I had to drive my mother to Grand Junction, CO., 100 mi. away, for a check up with her radiologist after some skin cancer treatment. This gave me the opportunity to get a quick visit to The Hobby Hut, the nearest LHS to me. I've been visiting The Hobby Hut since was around 10 yrs old. Fantastic shop and father and son that run it. Since I could not stay long it was enough to get caught up with the gang there and of course leave with at least one trinket. Been wanting to give one of the new Eduard Zeros a look. I've also recently picked up these 2 dandys. Got the PBY off of ebay. the PBY is my favorite aircraft and I had yet to add this kit with the unique camo scheme. The A-20G I ordered from Special Hobby along with the CMK resin cockpit set and rear turret set. Also got Eduard masks for it.

One of my favorite threads on other forums! Nice stuff Joe. I've been thinking about that PBY. Here's some of the latest stuff I've got I have one more kit on order and then I'm putting the brakes on. Did a lot of shopping this past 12 months while my bench was down. Time to build some of these

Picked this up on sale from Sprue Brothers a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait to start this but I have so many other things in the works, I just can't justify it yet

Joe: you lucky DOG!!! You got one of the new Zero kits. Great score ol buddy.
John: Haven't seen the Meng take on the F-4 yet. Looking forward to seeing you build that one up bro.
Dennis: Now how cool is that? I've got a 1/48 scale 251 in the stash from AFV and it's quite detailed up OOB.

Yeah, I know you too well, there might be a pumping of the brakes but doubt there will be a full stop.😁

Bought this at the show a couple of weeks back. Will be built as the post war anti sub version which was in the building where the show was. Will need some alterations. And by "some" I mean several!

Terry: That's a fine looking add. Should make for some quality bench time on that.
Tony: Terrific kit you've snagged there. Just can't go wrong with an Accurate Miniatures Avenger. They build up beautifully. Love the scheme you have planned for it.

You're gonna love that kit. It's simply amazing just how much detail is in that kit. Too bad this company folded up because they sure made some winners.

I saw them in stores hundreds of times and always said "Later". Then it was too late! This one was dirt cheap ($20) so I could not pass it up. After I bought it I realized that the real thing was about 20 feet away so decided that was how I would build it. It will take some work as I need to redo the canopy to remove the turret, add a bunch of bits and bobs for the anti submarine roll and of course fold the wings. I lucked out an a vender actually had decals that I can make work. The aircraft were all pushed back against the hanger walls to allow the tables for the show so I couldn't get good pictures but it is only 45 minutes from home so I will pop back and get loads of shots before I build. How it normally is displayed in upper right. It is airworthy so does go outside sometimes.

It's always cool to see these aircraft in the real world. A true treat to the eyes.

Something new... Given the excellent quality of your work, I can not wait to see what you do with this. Is this going to come along soon, or is it for stash for the time being?

I'm going to try to make this my last purchase for the year unless something really special shows up. If there's any lower class racing cars I'd like to build, it's a modified car like this John. These just look KICK A$$!!! I may have to look for one of these.

Woohoo! Outstanding score John. I had just seen that kit the other day and figured i may have to add that beauty myself. Nice to see it's tugged ole Joe's interest also. I absolutely love the modifieds. Don't be surprised to see that very kit show under my banner.
