Did no small damage at the local Austin contest today... 1/32 Tamiya F-15C, 1/32 Lonestar PBJ-1J wing radar pod 1/32 Academy F-16CG/CJ 1/18 (!!!!!) Merit SBD Dauntless Now that's a great haul Doogs! Strewth, that Dauntless must be huuuuge!!! The Eagle will be an impressive bird in 1/32, some of those props you have built will probably look a little small next to it! I have heard that the Academy F-16 has a lot of shape and accuracy issues, which is a pity as I have their Hornet and it is superb. Still, I have seen them scrub up quite nicely and as long as you are not too concerned with that sort of thing it will build up nicely, and will look like an F-16. Very nice haul in all (all in all?? ) mate, cant wait to see you start on the Eagle!! Cheers, Sam

I will be most interested in seeing the SBD go together! I have about 11 of those 1/18 AC hanging from the ceiling of the hobby room. Yeah... just like back in the old days only then they were 1/72 and 1/48 planes. Jeff

Well gents, My good friend Mr. HL Japan sent me a big brown box which looked sumpthin' like this. Mmmmm, biiiig boxxxx...... Inside was a bunch of goodies that looked like this! "So, what do we have?" I hear you ask? Glad you asked! Some more of me faves, little bellyflopters.... A very nice decal sheet for the Italeri MH-53 I am yet to buy (yes, I am weird).... And finally, a couple of very nice UAV's. The Fire Scout is quite tiny, and quite expensive (at least compared to the rest!!) No doubt I will do a few previews some time soon. Actually pretty keen to make a start on the Fire Scout, and no cockpit to paint means quick a! Cheers, Sam

Andy - They are all pretty tempting mate! I am actually considering clearing the bench for the Fire Scout. It's a dinky little thing, and the lack of cockpit is definitely a bonus ans far as construction time and painting go! On the other hand, this is my first full resin kit, so it may be a bit of a learning curve... Bill - Yes indeedy sir! As if I didn't have enough stuff to keep me busy already!!! Cheers, Sam

I just received this in the mail: Have not opened it yet and still undecided on what I'll do with it either. My first thought is to scratch build it in 1/16th and RC it, but we'll see. Jeff

That's a great haul there Sam. PM me when you start the '47 so I don't miss it! Will do buddy! I was actually dry fitting it last night. Superb fit and with a relatively low parts count it would be a pretty quick build. Veeeeery tempting! Cheers, Sam

Good spending chaps I found a nice model that I would like Santa to bring me so I keep leaving it open on the PC and walking away from it. I think she might take the bait if I do it enough:), what do you think, subtle ?
