Got a little 'something' for the 100 year jubilee (1918) 

Hopefully I will be able to 'squeeze it in' at some point this year...

Very cool book. I have both this and the D.VII book, an really wish they'd do more in this series.

Got a call from my older brother today. He used to build aircraft and car models, but lately in the last few years discovered his eyesight and interest have both declined for modeling.

 

He's been into 1/10th scale R/C rock crawlers for the last few years,so he's come to the conclusion he not going to be building models anymore and will be sticking to R/C rock crawlers since his eyesight does not let him complete models up to the standards he was used to.

 

That all being said he has a pretty substantial stash of car, truck and aircraft models.

He knows I only build aircraft and only 1/32nd so he said he had some 32nd scale models set aside for me that I could have.

 

I assumed it was probably going to be a bunch of of junk.

I was a bit taken aback when he gave me these 10 kits........

 

The first 3 kits are not terrible at all, but are the oldest in the group. I opened the F3F-3, it even had the Lonestar resin cockpit and long wing correction in it. Ripley approves:

The Flogger has landed!

 

Got a parcel from Ukrposhta. Wrapped in an envelope and some cardbord I found this:

Inside just a fistful of parts wrapped in bubble foil:

But after careful unwrapping of the large parts I found a plethora of small parts stuffed inside the bow and fuselage cavity. Well protected for shipping and handling. Nothing was broken:

There is also a CD with instruction and walkaround photos of the real thing in the box and a vac canopy.

If you don't know how large Trumpeters Mig-23 is: This bird is 50 cm long, without pitots and rudder.

 

 

Very nice!

Something on the smaller side at 1/144 scale:

Needed two of them to get enough Tie Fighters to go with my X-wing.

 

Next up is a V-8 Interceptor. No, not that one. The first one.

Finally something 1/32 related.

Hopefully they'll work for my WNW Camel.
