I was surprised as well - I have one of the Hasegawa anime jet fighters (can't remember which one as I am away from home) and it is scarily complex...

That's a nice collection of Frogs you have there.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Happy birthday to me!

I got this lovely little collection here today, and I hope that there will be more coming up soon. (sorry for the slightly off photos, my camera wasn't acting too good before.

Image

First up, this was actually a bit disappointing, seeing the size of the box and the shaking of parts, I thought it would have been a TSR.2. But instead, I get a Revell 1/48 F-14 tomcat.
Image

Upon opening the box, its huge! And thankfully all disappointment flew away. Expect this coming onto the bench soon.
Image

For the FROG GB, this Spitfire mk.14 and V+1. Even included a spare canopy to make up for the old one, and a the stand was also there too.

Wildcats!
Image

2 Frog wildcats, one in cardboard, 1 in a bag, and a MPC issuing of the airfix kit. I'm sure to get a lot of helpful tips of AndrewR for the best way to make these.

And thats it for now.


BUT WAIT!

Whats this? I didn't expect anything else-*GASP*

:party

Just in time, My Harder and Steenbeck airbrush arrived today, and I'm so ready to try it out.

The shininess nearly blinded me when I opened it.

Alternatively there's a Roden Camel or two Airfix Camels. I have the Eduard RFC figure set, so a little diorama would be quite feasible.

Also: I gave the Ultra a try today, it throws my Chinese airbrush straight into the bin. Very easy to clean and sprayed a very even and great finish.

It also cleans very well, and is all Brass+stainless steel, no staining or anything. Highly recommended.

Steel airbrushes are mush better then plastic ones.
