Nothing BIG, but I got a few 48th kits... Eduard Royal Class Spitfire Mk.IX, Airfix Chipmunk, CA Gannett (Wanted it for YEARS, after I stupidly sold it), and a Tamiya F-35! Being a Norgie (Norwegian for those who don't slang), both the Spit and F-35 come with options for the same 132nd Air Wing, RNoAF, so I'll likely do those! Cheers, Feels good getting back on filling the stash rather than thinning it!

Sorry for your loss Ernie.

They are certainly lovely with everything out...

In a conundrum.. Folded or straight wings? Anybody have thoughts on this? Model is quite large, and I can keep the wings "detachable"... Tough decision for sure. I really like the look with the boards cracked and full flaps....

Obviously some weathering on the seats to come, as well as decals on seat and ip. Intakes need some work, then we slap together...

Been quiet, but there is movement! No images as the ones I got were completely out of focus, but whatevs. Cockpit is soon done! just need decals on IP. Then the fuselage can be completed. Cheers H

Ohh I can't wait to see what treatment you give it James!

Just to prove we're not dead, just merely snowed the heck in... All the parts for the "other" gear bay laid out and cleaned up. Since I have new black paint we should see some progress soon-ish!

Planning to build the Trumpy A-6A in 32nd, with AOA decals for the movie Flight of the Intruder. I plan to fictionalize the fictionalized A-6E's used in the movie by Using the proper painting of the A with proper stencils, and then use the AOA decals for the movie airplane with the AOA A-6A stencils. I MAY try to cut masks for the fictional "USS Shiloh" from the book. I read the book to shreds when I was young, and I still enjoy both it and the sequel. So here's to Jake Grafton and Tiger Cole, Keep the faith shipmate! UNfondled plastic... highly unusual in my stash! and I've had the kit since before the "rona" 'Stickers' Thanks!

Ha! Thanks for the idea, I have a couple Takom kits in the stash!

I'll try to make a dent this year. I finally got my 4th stripe back (for the 5th time, should learn not to switch companies...) so the pressure is off somewhat, now I just need to get off nightshift!

Man that 3 color navy camo shore looks fine though! Nothing you can't deal with I'm sure!

I want to fly one once.... 8 throttles. awesome!

So being in the EMS world now, I have a good story of spraying things with the "back-fan"... A buddy of mine picked up a patient who was injured badly in an accident and bleeding profusely. Well the blood seeped out the copilot door, then flowed back along the tailboom, then was atomized by said fan... helicopter had to be torn apart to be cleaned... apparently blood is very corrosive...

This thing don't leak, but when the windshield craks, it goes with a bang...

I think you guys mean a million shaky parts surrounding an oil leak....

Well I just bought 3 more LP5 semi Matt black

Awesome! Thanks for organizing this again Ernie et all!

@harv haven't you guys been putting up drawings for days? (Lol)

Merry Christmas from Winnipeg!

-23C in Winnipeg… managed a visit to the hobby shop, but dressing up like the kid in the Christmas story, just so the dog can have a sh!t and a piss…. but who’s complaining

That'd be amazing! I had the 52 on order but had to cancel, I'll start pinching pennies again!

Let me know when the HpH B-52 is up for sale, so I can start saving the pennies!

Dang, I'D LOVE to have a small affair with your SLR! Always wanted to shoot that one. I used the AG-3, AG-3F (extendable stock) and MP-5 extensively, but would love to shoot the SLR! Wish I had access to the NATO Ammo as I used to. Could walk into supply and walk out with 400 rounds like nothing...

Screw it, I'll participate with a $75 dollar (US) gift card to whichever shop you'd like, but it won't be available till January 15th 2023. I'd also like to be in the draw, but will say leave me out of the grand prize draw as I'm one, not that lucky, but two, if I should be feel it's unfair to the rest of the crowd! Thanks!
