Final buy list, 80% aviation by number of kits (not $, that went to resin ships).

Roden 1/48 HS SE5a
Matchbox 1/72 Stranraer
SMER 1/48 Walrus (not the CA kit, but good enough)
Hasegawa 1/48 Typhoon IB
Hasegawa 1/72 Lancaster IB/IIIB (new kit, hot off molds)
. (& also got the SAM modellers guide)
Sierra 1/48 P-30 (my 1st vacuform kit)
LF Models 1/72 Kellet YG1 Autogyro (resin)
LF Models 1/72 Kellet XR8 Helicopter (resin)

The LF stuff has local interest & I'll build them for our local airport museum -- a local guy was test pilot for Kellet & died in XR8 crash.

So, I don't know about anyone else, but I got some pretty cool deals in Atlanta:

Original TriMaster 1:48 kits (complete)
Me 262 A-1a
FW 190D "Langenasen Dora"
Both for $10.00 apiece

Falcon VacForms
Triple Conversion Set (Bf 109G-12, G-14, and FW 190 S)
Bf 109B/D
Bf 109E
FW 190D conversion set (x2)
All for $5.00/apiece, except the Triple Conversion; that was $7.50

Aurora Black Fury Horse kit,circa 1958 (complete) $20.00. Hey, my oldest daughter said she'd build a model if it was a horse!So what if it's rare?

Tamiya 1:72 Bubbletop P-47 and FW 190A-3, $8.00 a pop.

Now, if I could just buy some time to ever get to any of them.......!

So, what'd you guys get?
