Woohoo! Went through the kit one more time to make sure the exhaust wasn’t stuck in some other part. Some of the kits from this local store are from the owners personal collection. He must have noticed the popped off exhaust and smartly taped it to the bag with the clear parts so it wouldn’t get lost. Kit is compete!
Gotta Love the local stores that do things right
That’s what I always say: Don’t buy online with Amazon or from China. Support your Local Hobby Store as much as possible. Most of my kits come from my LHS which is about 100 km away. We have none in my city anymore. Some of my Eduard kits I order directly at the Eduard Online Shop, so no one earns money in between. So I support them as well.
That’s brilliant news!
@BlackWidow well said. My LHS is very well stocked and has pretty much everything I could ever need.
The only time I don’t support local is when he doesn’t have the kit. He has a ton of really cool, hard to find kits but can’t carry everything. But If he has the kit, I’ll pay a bit extra if I have to just to buy from him. He is a great guy to deal with. I’d bet my life savings no Amazon order is gonna have parts taped to the baggie so they don’t get lost
I’ll echo that Sir.!!!
Doing a little digging around, I’ve found that the only recorded incident of an A-4 air-to-air kill was on May 1st 1967. An A-4C of VA-76 flying off the USS Bon Homme Richard. With a Zuni rocket!
VA-93 doesn’t seem to have seen much action while on the Bennington. At least from what I can find.
So, as I suspected a complete piece of fiction from Airfix. But I suppose that the idea of this is to interest and excite younger modellers, so I can’t be too harsh. I do like the colour schemes on both aircraft and they’re very welcome additions.
Thanks, sorry I’m a bit late. Forgot to post that yesterday, I got those 2 from my club for 2€, I’m glad I’m dervisifying and today my dad otrdered those 3, I paied for 2, the SAS will have a what if intèrior base on boing brochure

Good buys.
The cutaway looks like it would be a fun kit to display.
Well I’ve been nickel and diming my wingy thingy additions over the past several weeks.
First up I bought these 3-D decal US seat harnesses. I’ll be using them on a project that I’ll resume after the New Years.
Then I picked up this replacement canopy for my long sidelined P-35 build. So that’s one I intend to pull off the sideline in 2022
And lastly I received a reduced price offer for this one on eBay, so I pulled the trigger on it
Just catching up on a few weeks of stash improvement programs here, so good to see what is arriving at people’s doors lately!
For me, what better time than Christmas to add some P-47 Razorback love to my stash, courtesy of local Facebook BSS groups.
Wishing everybody here a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and here’s to a safe, happy and healthy 2022 for all of us!
Cheers, D
Nice haul! I’ve been thinking of adding that Razorback for a while now! Looks really nice
My step dad got me this concorde for christmas that I’ll do as the 8th aircraft air france had the intention to get
saved money to get this braniff USairfix concorde, one side wil be air france the other brannif

Cheers

If you guys have never built the Tamiya P 47 you are in for a treat - another one of their engineering wonders like their later Tony and Lightning . Just a joy to assemble.
It might be next addition! I’ve picked it up a handful of times at the hobby shop only to put it back down and grab something else. It looks like a superb kit
Dude! Stop talking about these great Tamiya kits - you’re killing my wallet! 
You saw the announcement that MiniArt is trying to get into this game with a P 47?
I don’t think they make a bad airplane kit.
