These arrived at my front door at 7.30 this morning (Thursday), they left NZ Monday afternoon so two and a half days is excellent, many thanks to Wingnuts for their brilliant service and a huge thanks to Dave for the expert packaging and quick despatch.

Uh-oh, Des.  Do I detect the beginnings of an actual stash?
Cheers,
Bud

I am gearing up for war production. So far, all in 1/72, I've accquired
Toko Sopwith Snipe
Toko Sopwith Salamander
Economolds rebox of Roden Camel F.1
2 x Roden S.E. 5a
Eduard Fokker F.1 profipack
Eduard Fokker E.IV profipack
Eduard Albatros D.Va
2 x Eduard Airco D.H.2
Pheon S.E. 5a aces sheet

and lastly, but certainly not least, through the great kindness of Trackpad, I'm gaining a Roden Fokker D.VIIa as well.

And about a million other things that one never factors in when budgeting for branching out in a new modelling direction: monofilament thread, oil paints, mineral spirits, Misterkit colors, extra thin super glue, CA accelerant, etc. etc. Paint is the silent killer of modelling funds, always.

Got my 002 steel and 004 brass wire from the "Berman Werks" Amazing stuff!!! and inexpensive and fast delivery too!!!! I see myself using the 004 but you 1/72 guys should be all over the 002. Going to pick up some other gauges-now

Eduard Nieuport 17 combo
Blue Rider RFC decals so I can make a British Nieuport 17
Eduard Spad XIII early combo kit
Eastern Express Nieuport 11
Eastern Express Nieuport 16

Also, in light of my current adventures with Roden's Fokker D.VII, I bought the old Revell D.VII with an eye towards using its lower wing in any future attempts at a Roden D.VII.

Nice to be in the neighbourhood, Des. ;) Even at that, WnW shipments reach me in
western Canada in about two weeks, quite respectable from halfway around the world.
  Nice to see you receive the Pfalz...I believe I have finally decided that will be my next
project.  To keep with this thread, my latest acquisition is a Special Hobby 1/32 Nieuport 11,
a personal favourite of mine.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I just made a trade with a very generous modeler and picked up a "Duellists" set and a WNW Snipe! Three planes I want to round out my WNW stash. Doing the happy feet dance right now....
 I'm really happy that WNW has stepped so solidly into the 1920s aircraft world, the first I/M kits in this niche. Any guesses what markings my Snipe will have? ;)

Eeek! .................. Please somebody .... stop me now .. (Only kidding - having way to much fun).



You'll have to excuse the bottom three - part of my Battle of Britain thing that I have firkling in the background, and I know the Arado isn't B'o'B specific .... but I've got a bit of a thing about floatplanes.......... any excuse huh?
Actually those Revell kits were just too good to pass up - someone somewhere is shedding stock??

And that makes Three, yes THREE Brisfits now (WHY)? and two Hannovers .... half a dozen packets of aftermarket came with these too, so made them if not a steal, pretty good value for money to my mind?!

Laters .................
KBO ............. Andi.

Nice haul, Andi!  Three Biffs ain't so odd, mate.  I've got a total of 7 various Bristol Fighters in 1/48 scale.  Just scored the Aeroclub and Blue Max kits over the past couple weeks to add to the 5 Roden and Eduard kits I already had.  Now, that might be construed by some as obsession.
Cheers,
Bud
