Nice presents for sure under the tree and a nice choice for the GB as well.

  

The GB selection is between the Beaufort and the 80’ Elco PT boat…….

[Jackster]

I received this for Christmas. I have not built any modern stuff before so looking forward to getting my teeth into this. I also enjoyed finding out what its role is. It will have to wait until my Lee Lulubelle is finished though.

Cheers

Which kit of the PT boat Phil? Just curious if it's the Italeri one.

How long is the GB? I may do both…….looking forward to the Beaufort as it an underrated early workhorse. Also the squadron was based at North Coates just up the road from me before Strike Wing Beaufighters.

If you build the Elco, I'll  join you with the Vosper MTB. I've wanted to see what the PT boat looks like.

Sprue Brothers had but one WNW kit I desired...

I have received a Christmas gift from my good friend Martin.

[Clunkmeister]

But wait, there’s more…

Martin said that friends don’t give friends Trumpeter…

He then quotes Isaiah 64, which immediately got my attention.  
Then there is Unicorn Cat… standing watch over a Wingnut kit    

 

[Clunkmeister]

And ignore the Helldiver in the background. It’s in the paint shop.

[Clunkmeister]

Martin sure knows how to slap a guy down with massive trauma and self loathing, and then shock him back to life again.

Honestly, I’d rather build 100 Anigrand and Amodel bubbly resin kits than a Trumpeter P-40. Especially now with all the great options out there for P-40s…

AND, to get me cussing right at first, he wrapped the box for shipping using transparent blue cellophane. I started the death wishes the moment it showed up on my doorstep. I figured it was payback for the Chernobyl Boy incident in Phoenix. 

[Martinnfb]

There is only one person who can handle WNW Ninak in a grand fashion and its not me, so there

And yes the getto semi-transparent wrap exposing that eye-catching box art was part of the ploy. I am so evil and that makes me very happy.

My last purchase of 2022 is a precious tiny jewel, despite being large scale. When I was a kid in West Berlin, there were still some of these quirky vehicles around, polluting the air with their two stroke engines, often used by coal dealers. I have a soft spot for unusual designs, and I couldn't let this one pass.

Hats off to MiniArt for their very diverse and quirky catalog, looking forward to the build……..

No pic, because it’s well known, and above all I am lazy ,but, after two months stuck in a Portuguese warehouse waiting for CTT ( the Portuguese Post) to handle it, I finally received my Jetmads Viggen  

Plus some goodies to kitbash a famous 40’ song, using a conversion set still on its way from Ukraine …

Well I just had to, having battled through the PCM Fabric wing version I wanted something a bit easier, and this fits the bill.

Yes, please do....harv

Right with Phil and Harv- please do a WIP build. I check every day to see if the Revell Hurricane is available - and nothing yet in the states - doesn't seem to be available in Canada either. Matter of fact, we still haven't even had an opportunity to purchase the Airfix 1/24 Spit 🙁

Last shipment for this year.

A bit off carbon decals

and some foil

[Peterpools]

Sweet!

Bought some large scale armour as an early birthday present to myself.
