Make the others jealous

[denders]

We were over to Western PA to visit my wife's Aunt and Uncle and stopped at "Scale Reproductions" in Louisville. Nice place, wish we had someone similar in the Nashville area. I picked this up while I was there.

Just arrived yesterday, the Contact-Resine 1:24 Fw 190 'pit set, a deal with our own gunpowder. Thanks a bunch, Andrew, I love it.

Fist of all, my Telford haul

 

 

I love these Wingleader books.

 

They were doing a buy 5, get one free deal.. which as you see I couldn't resist..

 

The Spitfire Mk.I/II book was written by Richard Alexander and is excellent. It's worth the 20 quid for the reference section at the back alone!

 

As ever, I spent some quality time with the inestimable Mr Castle on his Airscale stand, and oh, with a Revell Bf109 G2/4 in the stash, I just had to pick the full set up for it at a very reasonable price!

 

 

Finally, not from Telford, this arrived yesterday

 

 

It's the Laminar Flow cockpit upgrade to complement the Mk.XIV conversion sets.

 

And, look 

 

2 for the price of one. With both the low and high back conversion sets in the stash, I've got a cockpit set for each.

 

Excellent!

Ooh, a rhyme. I loves me some rhymes.

Compulsion strikes again! These two just showed up today, both are mint and even include the motors (which I will never use). One of these kits, while listed in the database (I think), doesn't have a box cover image, but I'll address that soon enough.

I built those kits years ago and I still have the the motors somewhere

In many ways, they're actually very nice kits.

Indulged in a little retail therapy this week:

Agree

Added a splash of color for some WW1 things:

 

 

"The Brisfish" decals have been sold out, but the Crocodile was still available at Fantasyprintshop.

I went over to the IPMS Middle Tennessee show at Murfreesboro this morning. These items followed me to the car and I gave them a ride home. 

 

The P-47 and the 190A-8 had additional AM in the box. The 190D-9 had extra parts as noted on the box.

I hope you got that Hi-Grade Dora for cheap, Dave, as it's Hasegawa's old-tool Fw 190A kit, married to a new fuselage and all the other bits necessary to make a Dora. The old kit parts have raised surface details, while the newer parts are recessed. I had one, and converted it to a D-11:

Well, I didn't think it was expensive. 

 

I forgot this too. I thought I'd see what my grandsons thought of it.

Yep, it's really not any sort of "high grade" kit at all; just some white metal parts & P.E. mixed in with those lousy old wings.

Indeed! Jerry Ruman made a very good resin set to replace all the old parts with corrected and scribed ones. Useless to say this unfortunately disappeared many years ago...
