If those 1/700 ships are as sharp as the Hobby Boss 1/350 ships, then they'll be very nice little kits indeed!
Best wishes

Recent arrivals chez iggie:

I took advantage of the Airfix 'Airshow' sale to get the bridge, Mustang and Magister and to round it up to get free postage, the new release Spitfire PR.XIX. After all, you can never....etc. etc. etc. :-D

Image

The two subs will go into the 1/350 maritime section

Image

And a second AT-AT for an eventual Battle of Hoth diorama; this was on Amazon at a silly price, delivered from the States

Best wishes

Nice score, Iggie. I thought Airfix deleted the Magister, but nice to see that it is still available especially with Irish Air Corps markings. And I have built the Revell Type VIIc; a nice little kit it is too.

So, this arrived in the post:

Opening it revealed these:

Image

And these:

Image

Oh, and these:

Image

These:

Image

Almost forgot these:

Image

There should be 48 all told but I seem to have mislaid a couple. :roll: Probably stashed them somewhere safe. This was an eBay win where, surprisingly, I was the only bidder. :-D Total cost, including postage within Australia, was Au$310 (about GBP180, USD250) which is an insane bargain.

It also means my stash has doubled in size, temporarily. Of course, the discussions with SWMBO about how many I am ultimately allowed to keep make the Brexit negotiations seem like a walk in the park . . .

And can someone please explain why I then bought another four kits at last week's meeting of IPMS Sydney?

Cheers all

It's because you have a severe dose of A.S.S. :-D (Advanced Stash Syndrome) :shock:

Excellent looking haul mind you, some classics in amongst them and a seriously cheap price!

hi iggie curiosity got the better of me and i've unbagged the flight 1 version sprues and parts and to me they do look sharp and very nice(ship novice's opinion)
word of note for anyone who might wish to purchase one is the photo etch supplied has to be used for a number of parts as the area 's where some fit are blank

New in the stash. I have just aquired the Amadel Jetstream 31 for a what if project.

All the best.

Because They Were There....

This is why I decided not to go to that meeting though - the stash is bad enough already.

Speaking of which, I like Camels....
