Rich, is that Challenger aircraft a resin kit? If not, I'd be thrilled to get one!

No, its injection molded and includes a VIP style interior. It includes some resin bits for wheels and engines, PE and masks. There are no locating pins for the fuselage. There are three boxings, the CF and Luftwaffe version I have, a second with US Coast Guard and Swiss Air Ambulance and a third for a South African private jet.

A little factoid, the brass cylinder on the running board is an acetylene generator for the gas headlamps! Yikes!
We deactivated ours and replaced them with electric bulbs! Ours is also right-hand drive.

Been chatting with young Luiz recently and discussing potential Luftwaffe builds. I was very impressed with his Hs126 and seriously considered investing in one... in the end and after a shed-load of reading reviews and watching YT builds, I decided to buy this instead:
Kit schemes are all 70/71/65 with variations in yellow theatre marks, I also have a Kagero sheet with a beautiful North Africa scheme so as yet... undecided. There's so much quality in the (sturdy) ICM box that the only AM needed is a set of belts and masks which I've bought. This'll be my BIG Spring project like the BAC Lightning was last year.
Best from NZ.

I like that scheme Ian! Will be looking forward to seeing it built.
I picked up a few things this last week. Sprue Brothers had a sale on Eduard stuff so I got some sets for kit I have already. Then Free Time popped up with a kit I had been wondering about but not thought about much. Wasn't cheap but was a much better deal than I could find anywhere else.

Scored a couple kits I've been watching for on a trip down to a Seattle hobby shop with a couple guys from the local modeling club.
Found an original Testors "Those Fabulous Fords" GT40 Mk1...I don't recall the last time I've actually seen one of these. I remember my dad having the full set (Mk1, MkII, MkIV) of these way back in the day (almost 40 years ago :S ). Unlike the more common Fujimi MKIIs which are just curbside kits, this old Testors kits are the full shebang. Should be good practice before I take on my Simil-R FGT GT1. Now to keep my eyes open for the old Testors MkII & MkIV for the set. :evil: Probably add a Fujimi MkII for good measure and a new Revel GTE for the full collection for racing Ford GT cars. B)
Also happened to stumble across the Sturgeon class sub that I was fixing to order on eBay. My dad also served on the USS Bluefish SSN-675 in addition to the USS Springfield. I may try to throw the Bluefish together before I go out to visit them in October. Make a little presentation and all.
Also ended up with another A-7E, A-4E/F, and an AV-8B+ (all 1/48 Hasegawa) for $10 ea because they had been opened and some pieces snipped off sprues. The only parts missing out of any of the kits after a thorough inventory were decals and belly gun pods from the Harrier. And those I can hijack from one of my GR.7/9 British Harriers (Eduard boxings).
