I also bought the Airfix P-51D in 1/72, just cos it was like 10 bucks.

Is that the scale plastic modeller's equivalent of a quick meth hit? "Man, I need some styrene BAD!".

I'm sure he once said he'd never bother with Airfix kits..

Ha, something like that. Was from the museum, gotta buy something to support the place! Well, that's how I justify it anyway. I nearly bought the Pearl Harbor set too; P-40, Zero and Kate, but I've already got the Zero and P-40, although alone the kate is like 40 bucks, but only 52 for the 3 kit set....figure that one out.

Maybe, mostly the panel lines were an issue, especially in the Spitfire and the early new mold kits. They just weren't as good as Hasegawa of the 90's and still aren't really, but they are getting better and for 10 bucks I can tolerate slightly deeper panel lines. Mind you, Hasegawa had some foul ups, their 1/72 Heinkel 111H looked like someone had gotten a plow to the panel lines.

Been a bit quiet lately but that hasn't stopped the purchasing. I can't remember in which order these were obtained but ya get that.

From our mates at Red Roo






I bought this after watching a doco on the Pedro PAVEHAWK's in Afghanistan


Then this came up at a great price that's even closer to the aircraft I wanna do


And lets not forget the rather big number of Hotwheels cars that have come home with me.

I got these 4 at the last swap and sell

Another Airnorth DC-3 VH-MMA


First F-4 in a while


Mmmmm


Stoked to pick this up for $15


A couple of aggressors


This is gonna be an Air Affairs jet that'll be red air for the RAAF


I scored a decal sheet from Xtradecal of Jet Provosts so I needed a couple of kits

[Ansett A330]

Some second hand kits :

(First one much to someone on here's disgust)



(second one for wherever I get around to using it and another one to make a -300 which again according to someone on here will be never)



(I live in hope that I live longer than Methusla.)

[Ansett A330]

Someone on here will have something to say about THAT kit!

It looks ok in the box with finer panel lines than the High Planes kit but I do hear the HPM kit is nicer to put together. Mine will be the ex RAAF Paki machine with grey fuse and SAAF camo wings. I'll be getting their RAAF Mirage from Red Roo when it arrives. Even if the kit is crap, it's worth the price alone for the decals IMHO.
