The latest purchase was the re-released 1/72 Airfix Beaver

No idea why it says 1/144 on the pic though

Another couple of models arrived this last week. The first being a 1/72 Hasegawa Tornado F.3 which will be in 1435Flt colours as part of my Falklands theme.

The second one is the 1/72 Revell Single seat Typhoon

This jet will be in the colours of Anarchy 1, the RAF Typhoon display aircraft. I just have to find the decals.

I'm not into Eurotrash but I do like the Ferrari 458 and I finally managed to get hold of a kit without selling a kidney. It'll be red of course

Got a few things from my LHS Models and Hobbies 4 U recently. Firstly a '63 Corvette. I have always liked the shape of the '63 and had to have this one.

Then today I picked up the following. I had been eyeing off the Egg C-17 from Meng for ages so thought it was time to stop procrastinating.

Lastly I had been waiting for a very long time for this kit to be released. It's the DDA HQ GTS Monaro. I got the stock one but there are a couple of other versions as well. For the $70 it cost me, it's great value as the kit is extremely comprehensive.

It will be the 1973 colour Purr-Pull with white GTS stripes. I'm hoping Scott from SMS Paints brings this colour out in the future adding to his automotive colours. This it the scheme I'm going for.

I also have on hold for me another HQ from the same company but this time it's slammed and has a blown big block under the bonnet. Unsure what colour it will be but it'll look tough AF on the shelf

If DDA ever bring out some Toranas then I'll be screwed :lol:

I don't normally buy targets, I mean armour but this is a special occasion. I'm building the Leopard in honour of a mate that passed away last week. Will was an avid military modeller and loved his German military machinery. So this Leopard is gonna be built OOB as a German version and will be started very shortly. R.I.P. Will

Had these arrive yesterday

Been hanging for this 1/48 sheet as I can finally do my favourite QF-4E and the last F-4 to fly in US Service

This is the jet

Some pretty coloured USAF Test jets in 1/72

And finally this sheet.

I now have all the decals to build all these jets in 1/72

DeHavilland's 1:1 DH82A Tiger Moth. Very hard to find kit...

And yes, I did buy it.

Not bad at all mate. Though I don't think you exhaust staining quite right and the red in the fin flash is 2.4687 shades too dark. Otherwise a cracker effort :lol:
