The Dyna-soar and Dever look interesting. The Dever looks straight out of some Gerry Anderson series!
I had another really nice set of Wolfpak Decals arrived today, cover two F-4’s, an A-6 and an SP-5.
The F-4E is one I’ve wanted to do for quite a while, the triple gun armed Fast FAC ‘Chico the Gunfighter’. Who wouldn’t want to do a Phantom armed to the teeth with two Vulcan pods?

Ah, the Sea Dart… a new one in 1:48 is coming, isn’t it?
I played the postman today and snagged these from a local hobby store. Great prices, they’d just acquired these from a large collection. All 1/48.
Tamiya Do335A-12, with some resin wheels and antenna loops (not sure where or what they’re for, help would be appreciated)
Dragon Me262A-1a Nachtjager with a resin upgrade
Another Tamiya; an He 219 A-7 UHU, with a cockpit upgrade, canopy masks, plane nose (FuG 220 Lichtenstein) upgrade, resin props, and a new decal sheet for $20!!!

Although for $20 its arguably you havent wasted your money (you havent for the kit alone!) the AM sets you’ve got there add very little improvement to the Tamiya kit itself. In particular, the Aires cockpit is pretty good and certainly improves on kit detail (you’ll still need to paint your dials etc.), but it causes problems later because you’ll need to find all sorts of places to stuff cavities with lead shot or similar to stop the finished aircraft sitting on its arse. Better to use the Eduard cockpit PE set for this and use the kit’s zinc cockpit tub. Plus, like most Aires AM kits, it doesn’t fit without a LOT of effort.
The Lichtenstein is probably an improvement over the kit’s parts, not sure about the props though. Decals look nice - what make are they?

Yeah, I was thinking I might pick and choose some stuff from the Aires set (the only stuff I can fit is probably the seats). The decals are from Third Group.
After comparing the resin props to the kit, the kit props are more detailed. However, the prop nose is better in the resin kit and fits the kit, so I will just use it.

Very nice haul there! $20 for the UHU! I’ll give you $21 for it

Visited the European Model Expo at Lingen, Germany, last weekend and preordered this little gem to pick it up at the show
The parts look nicely detailed, as usual with AZ 's Messerschmitts and normally you don’t encounter serious fitting issues.

Oh dear, just out of the blue, it came along on Ebay and in a rush I pushed the buy button. Is it a plane…?
I have to admit I don’t know it, and it is getting worse.
We (the Dutch) owned a couple in the East Indies back then, I just learned.
My first 1/72 in decades…

Thats ugly cool and unique looking !
Picked up some doo-dads from Sprue Brothers. I really like Master Model bits. The F-18 AOA indicators were cheap and a neat detail if I don’t loose the little metal bits. The A-10 barrel(s) is exquisite and always been a big fan of Verlinden ejections seats. But I only have one A-7
