Never rains but it pours . . .

Some years ago in a fit of adventure I picked up a 1/32 set of Aggressor markings for the F-5.

Keeping an eye out for the Hasegawa kit, on F/S threads and Fleabay since then, turned up zero/zip/zilch for so long I stopped looking.

 

Earlier today I made a perfunctory search and scared up THREE on offer.

 

Also on the 'I want' list is Revell's classic 1/32 F4U-1. Currently have one on the go, in kit markings 1835 Sqn. Would love to thrash one out in RNZAF, too.

There are Revell kits for Africa. And going for very reasonable $$.

 

A ton of Revell Beaufighters have shown up as well. Have one already, slated for NF status but would love another in 489 Sqn.

 

Is it the time of year? People thinning stashes before Winter?

I no complain! If I didn't find the F-5E I was thinking of bashing together something Sabre-like in Aggressor scheme, simply to use the markings.

Yes, I'm aware of Tamiya's jewellery and Trumpy's oeuvre, and they're a lot less work. I'm "old school" and like the challenge. Grew up on the classics, that's my "bliss", to be knee-deep and bum-up in s/b.

 

Plus ça change plus la même chose.
