I just picked up:

DML Ju88 P-1
Hasegawa Ar234 B-2 "Kommando Sperling"

And my best score of the past couple of weeks:

Tamiya Do335 B-2 "Heavily Armed" version on clearance at HL for $13.00

First kits I've bought for a while. Now I'm in a Luftwaffe buying mood, so I have to find a way to break it to SWMBO that I want to order:

CA Bf109 D
DML Ju88 C-6 Zerstorer
DML Ju188 A-1
DML Ju188 E-1
MPM He177

Wish me luck

I never ever buy models only for the stack...


I am building every kit that I have bought.

So, I have +/- 10 kits "in various stages of development".

I wonder when I am going to finalise something

But what the heck... Its fun, isn't it

I got wayyy too many 1/48 scale kits in the past month or so:

He219 Uhu
Me163
Me262
Ta 183 Hubein (x2)
Fw190D (x2)
Me410
BF110

Spitfire Mk 9
Spitfire Mk 8
P-51B
P-51D
P-47D
P-38J
P-40E
P-39Q

The only saving grace is most of those kits where under $25 bucks (off Ebay or various websites Buy and sell) and some of them even had resin cockpits with them as part of the deal!

I plan on building the Spits in US markings...

All the best

I have been on a real armour bender for the last 6 months, the last aircraft I completed was the 'Grey Nurse' Spitfire. This though, does not mean that I have ignored the aircraft section of my local hobby stores..... In continuing my obsession with wacky aircraft, these are the models that I have purchased in the last two months......

The I 16 will be done in Spanish markings



The A12 Shrike will be my Armorama Guard build



The Albatros D.V is slated for one of my Duel campaigns



and finally the PZL-23A,.... is just too beautiful of a plane not to build!

Mosr recent acquisition would be the 1/48 AMT/Ertl ES-3A Shadow. Found it in the local hobby shop with a really good price tag, so I snagged it.

Knowing that Superscale has just re-released their VQ-5 farewell scheme decal sheet, I just had to have it.

Hi!

What I bought today;

Bristol F.2b Fighter, Roden 1/48
E.E. Lightning F-1/F-2/F-3, Airfix 1/48

I never buy kits for “the Stash”, but I have a (quite large ) pile of “soon to be built” kits!


Greetings!

Hi Joe,

Here are a few photos of the contents of the Eduard Albatros D.V. It comes with four very colourful markings, P.E. and a masking set. Ask to see the contents of the kit before you leave your hobby store,... one of Eduards weakest points happens to be their decals, Out of the three copies of the Albatros kit at my local hobby store, only one had on register decals.

I hope this helps,

Frank
