Styrene Addict. Show us your latest kits here.

This one came in the mail yesterday - a little late for the Community Build.  Great looking kit - 1/72 scale and exposed engines of 30 pieces each.  No decals for the wild paint schemes though.

Felixstowe looks advanced for WWI.  There's a lot of plane for two engines, but in those days so much was doped fabric and wood.  Foto shows plenty of wires too!

I like that Mike, there's always a certain something about "sea-planes"

You're not too late to start the community build, you have until the end of Nov to make a start i'm sure ... i've not even got mine out the box yet due to a state of being MoJo-less at the mo.

Super cool subject, you can start it now before the next one starts and then it is open ended so you can take your time on the build. If you don't join in the CB I would still love to see a good WIP on it.

I'm going to go real slow on that one by the looks of the parts sprues. Also I want to look around for the fuselage artwork decals and PE if they exist.

There's a nice WIP on the Aerodrome site.

Fotos of the "dazzle" paint schemes are surprising.  The seaplane is quite a neat model.  Best o' luck!

Went to Hobby Lobby with coupons and got these

Starsky & Hutch Torino



A-10 Warthog in 1/48th scale



and found a place on line for decal paper ( http://decalpaper.com ) so I ordered a starter pack of 10 white and 10 clear for $25.00 shipped



White is on the left and clear is on the right, they are 8 1/2" X 11" and look good. Now I can make some of the decal's for some stalled projects I have and I'll let you all know how they work out  

id like to see you build the torino......one of those classic tv cars like the general lee or the a team van

I like the Torino too, very nearly bought one the other day but forgot to go back for it.

More into the stash, some have not arrived yet but others are already collecting dust with the rest

This to go with the other 2 Memorial collection cars I have



For the Casey Stoner RC211V (which I plan to start in the next couple of months)



Too cheap to leave it, cost me £23!



Something a little different





This was started but very little done to it



Another steal at £24 with the transkit, this is to be my next build

You have some good ones there Ash, I particularly like the looks of the Ford GT Mark II


So first off a big thank you to Paul (2wl) He has been holding on to a kit for me for months until I could catch up on things. He is one great guy. In the picture its the Gunze Sangyo High Tech Ferrari GTO, WHAT A KIT !! Thanks again Paul.

From the model show I went to, I won in the raffle the Olds 442 and the tire pack, great tires. I did a little trading and brought home the Hubley Duesenberg and the built 1/8 Bobtail T. Between it and the one I already have, I should be able to build one. The 1/12 Ferrari F40 was started but the price was too good especially when you add the Wolf WR1 that he threw in. I have that kit already, the first Tamiya kit I ever bought, brand new in 1979. Over the years I lost the rear tires, this kit was started and the tires were still in the bag, so I can now finish my oldest wip. lol The Jag kit was because I want a 1:1 someday.

latest edition to the stash, another for my growing collection of Triple-A that i intend on building sometime in 2016/17

for those that dont read cyrillic.......

the truck is a Gaz-66......multi purpose truck made from mid 60s to about 2000, used as a basis for all sorts of things, still in wide spread use the world over..............the gun is a ZU-23, again used all over since way back when

apparently you can build this towing the gun, rather than mounting it, which id prefer to do, then load up the truck with gubbins, but we shall see

i was watching that Gunze Ferrari on eBay the other day hoping no one else had seen it as I put a bid on. Alas many folks had and it went for £78 + postage in the end. I was gutted.

Nice truck Paul didn't go for the Miniart version then, perhaps the 1 million parts put you off lol?

you mean the one with 4 Maxim machine guns?

thats a WW2 one, this is 'modern'......................and this was only 12 quid lol

I'm naive they all look the same to me :(

lol! i have a 'professional' interest in AAA

So get moving slacker :)

lol, got to fit them in round next years full GB calendar

This one just arrived and it looks like a real rigging challenge compared to the recent Handley Page O-400.   With this I'll have 3 WWI heavy bombers:  Handley Page, Gotha and Ilya Muromets. 1 down 2 to go.

That looks interesting Mike, good luck with the rigging!!

Got this from e-bay for $20.00 shipped, not sure if I bought it or stole it !!



Modelhause 58 Ford hard top with dash, has a nice paint job but the trim is painted on so I might clean the trim and BMF it. I have all the parts for this so some time next year I'll put her together.

Got 3 decals coming in that I've been looking for and already have the body's, just more fun for down the road as they say

so heres my haul from Airfix Black Friday sale
cost me 31 quid.......saved 54 quid......ordered monday 19:30 arrived thursday 12:30......which i think is pretty good


never managed to do a biplane properly yet but for a only fiver its got to worth another go


i can remember doing this back in the mid 70s when i was a teenager...always wanted to have another go now even tho its a funny scale


truely ancient kit.....came out first in 1962......one of those that when i was a kid it was always in the catalogue but since back as a kid i was only interested in military stuff i never bothered with it
it appeals now cos its something a little different


another from way back then, i can remember building it in the French acrobatic team blue scheme


and i know i keep saying 1/48 is a weird scale for vehicles but i had to buy something about 4 quid to take it over the 30 quid to get free postage, and this was £4.99 lol

I like the Bus Paul.

I fancy doing another bike..... so I just bought this of eBay:

you git!.....i was watching that from the same place lol lol

There's lots of bikes on ebay, go grab yourself 1 or 2 or 3!!

My black friday weekend purchases, Hiroboy order should be here in the next few days

Wanted a hobby drill and this was half price from argos



Yet another Union/Heller kit, I just like the look of them, not built one yet but this makes 4 in the stash now



Finally something a little different (in colour anyway)

Jeez guys!  So many kits, but I wonder when you'll each get to the piles accumulated?  I can imagine some of you unknowingly bidding up e-bay models against each other!  That's funny!
