ScottsGT Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Since this got bumped up on my comment list, I might as well add that I’m getting a tingly feeling after seeing the Squadron video of the Devastator. 7
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 11, 2023 Administrators Posted June 11, 2023 A-20 in at Sprue Bros. What a great year for 1/32! 6 1
belugawhaleman Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Not the Lee/Grant as I thought, but, a 1/16 M10/Achilles release by Andy's Hobby headquarters coming soon. 3 2
Winnie Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Since it was announced, several crates of the Westland Sea King by Airfix. Well at least a box of them... 6 1 1

It's a Westland license built machine, so all fasteners are 11/32nd not 3/8ths... Also there are a few differences on the fuselage, like a bulge on the doghouse for the AC generator, and a few equipment exhausts on the starboard side below the pilots window. Amongst others! However, I will be able to build three different Norwegian versions, and also 6 or so RAF and RN ones! Cheers H 4 1
Winnie Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 it's not supposed to look that way! Looks like a very early one, what happened? 3

Martinnfb Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 Practicing Eskimo roll was such a bad idea. https://www.rcnhistory.org/lapierre/lapierre-bonaventure-feb-1968.htm HMCS Bonaventure's downed CH-124 Sea King in Feb 1968. All crew was rescued and the helicopter was recovered (note the Bonnie's crane wires at the photo's right). It took 3 or 4 divers, along with the crane of course, about 4 hours to attach the wires to the Sea King's upper parts, turn the helicopter over and hoist it onto the flight deck. It was dark for the latter part of the procedure. 4 1

Spitfire Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Unless there are some surprise releases (Defiant, Skua, Fulmar, Battle type subjects) I think that I am done for the year and what a bumper crop, all in 1/32 of course. Revell Hurricane IIb Infinity Val Trumpeter Devastator. Kotare Spitfire Italeri MC202 Hobby 2000 Me 110E, at that price I had to Cheers Dennis 3
ScottsGT Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Dennis, never say never! Still have 3 1/2 months to go before the end of the year. since you compiled a list of kits bought this year, it got me thinking. Trumpeter Devastator Trumpeter F-35B Tamiya Spitfire Special Hobby Tempest off eBay Revell F-14 (pre-owned) Trumpeter TBM 1/24 Canadian Mist Beaver float plane I’m still thinking about the Revell Hurricane and the A-20. But at this point I’m on build # 6 for the year. I need to focus on pumping those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers! 4
npb748r Posted September 11, 2023 Author Posted September 11, 2023 On 5/8/2023 at 9:27 AM, npb748r said: 1. Ideal buys - HS123, C202, F-35B, Val, Ka-29, British Apache, Havoc, ACH-37A, revell meteor, CH54. 2. what my pocket money will allow - HS123, C202, Val, Apache. Expand so 4 months on from my initial list, quoted above, all has changed. I will still buy the HS123 once released however I'm not feeling that I need any of the other kits listed at the moment. I need to reduce my stash and I'm staying focused on that. However that 1/16 M10 mentioned above is making me twitchy ! My collection of 1/16 and AFV can be counted on less than one hand full of fingers but I've always had a thing for that tank and at 1/16 scale it's big enough for my eyes and fingers to cope ! So that's my new list. 3
PanzerWomble Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Just bought the Airfix Ferret ..even though I hate Airflups.....I remember when you could buy the 1:1 "rough" for £500 back in 05/08 . 1 1
HubertB Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Well, HPH just re-released their Avia B-534. I always regretted selling the one I had. The new release is now on my « bought » list Hubert 4 2
