Happy Birthday. And I think we should wish you, that WNW do not release any new models in the coming 14 years, so that you can quietly build what you have collected up till now  ;D
PS. I am lucky to have my WNW stash limited to 3 boxes (1 at home, 2 flying from far far NZ)!!! ;)

Once again I let you wood and wore guys down . My latest haul for the last month has been more WW 2 aircraft .
Tamiya of course . A few more P-51D and B added and a F4U-1a and one of those jug thingies ( P-47D ) . For some reason I couldn't help myself with the inner call of the wild and pick up Tamiya's 32 scale F4U-1a .

Of those iconic WW2 birds the P-51B appeals the most. Hope you share your builds here in the OT thread :)

(Wishing someone would produce a 1/32 MC202/205. My favorite plane of all time...)

PCM Pacific CoastModels produced a decen/ good 32 scale model of the macchi 202 some years ago, It is almost impossible to find it in Europe today.
21 century toys produced a snap-fit kit and made it available also in the semi built and painted form in various liveries.
It has its limitations, but it is a sound base if one adds detail and builds pieces from scratch.

I hope Tamyia or hase or KH will give a chance to that aircraft.

Later this year we should see a zvezda 1/48 model.
