If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

It does look rather nice inside :-D
I hope they´ll "scale it down" to 72 scale !

Great Haul! That Stalwart would be good to see - Those things are great.

My lootbag contents from this year's IPMS Vancouver show. The Valykrie was a sweet score for ten bucks (minus intructions unfortunately but I am sure I can scare some up eventually), the FROG Firefly I got for five bucks and the Ohtaki Crusader was gratis. Plus I ran into a friend who bequeathed unto me a large box filled with spare parts and a whack of resin bits as well. I just got it home so I haven't been able to have proper gander at what is in all those bags but it looks promising.

Just placed an order for some Polish air power in 1/72. IBG's PZL.23 and Arma's PZL.7

Both kits appear to be beautiful models, and I am anxiously awaiting their arrival. It's a good time to be a small scale modeler.

They do indeed both look very nice kits, of unusual planes; nice stuff!

A further addition to the maritime stash (well, I had to use the space released by USS Iwo Jima didn't I? :grin: ). I suppose this will count as a WHIF when built, but it looks good on the box lid :-D

And the new release of the new-tool Airfix Stuka; gotta love that snake!

Does the kit give you the option to do the snake in red? I'm not convinced that it was just white outlines.
