Show us what you last bought....the thread...

One of yous guys was talking about these out on Facebook and I said "I gotta get these!!!!!!" I found 2 of 3 them. Very neat stuff. I haven't looked at the Fine Scale Modeler one yet, but I read some and flipped through the red one and it is FULL of valuable information. Good shit, not no "fluff." Weird thing is, I've had them both for about a week a now. Sometimes I'm slow processing my mail even when there isn't a lot of it.

But anyway....




I have a feeling that this is but the start to ammassing a healthy collection of Airliner books, be them model-building specific, or otherwise.

I have the Aaron Skinner book and it's a cracker.

Leigh- Yes it's the Air Niugini A300. I have the same decals to do this aircraft one day when I'm feeling brave

Nice. I'm going to unwrap it today and start reading through. Looking forward to it! Anyone know of any more airliner specific model-building related books?

Anyone know of any more airliner specific model-building related books?

All three of these are a "must" for any Airliner builder.

Certainly are, I have all three as well.

Cool, I need that bottom one. A couple weeks ago when I was looking around for them to buy I found one, but they wanted a shitload of money for it... I'll keep looking!

[VH-WAL]

cheers

You're late by a day!!! I found one already. Good Lord, some people were asking as much as $40. I found one for half that.


Also, this arrived, then I couldn't help but put it into MSpaint:







Anyway, this won't be USAF when I eventually work on it. It'll be some tripple decker civil airliner affair. PAN AMERICAN or something... or.. something.

[Uros]

I realised I have to many models, so I got only one. A big one! This was on my wishlist for a long time.

[TheChronicOne]

You're my hero. I love it.... . .. .. .. ....

So had a few things turn up today

Firstly my 4th 1/32 F-16 and yep, it'll be an aggressor jet


The first decal sheet. I'm swapping a few decals from this sheet for a complete 1/48 Two Bobs TOPGUN F-16 sheet with a guy in Bermuda of all places. The jets are actually blue-greys, not browns. Demarcation shows up better in the instructions in brown.

The real colours


I'll be doing the brown jet as Jell-O, the guy that runs The Fighter Pilot Podcast ( https://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/ ) I listen to flew this jet during his time at TOPGUN. I'll also be building an F-16A ha flew at TOPGUN as well.


More aggresor F-16's, from 18AS in Alaska


Aggressor F-5N's


The ladies in my life were watching Pitch Perfect 3 (cue spewing emoji) and I happened to be walking through the lounge. I looked at the TV cos I heard some jet noise and low and behold in the background there's an F-16C with nice looking tail art. So onto google I went and look what I found. The cool thing is, with this 1/72 sheet it also includes the first Wild Weasel F-4's as well
