I've wondered of those dinos weren't really feathered, I mean have you seen featherless bird, tell me they don't look Jurassic.

My daughter built the Chasmosaurus, it was a nice kit!
Haven't we discussed a Floater Warthog?

I know we did for the F-14, maybe the A-10!
Jets just don't seem to look like they would cut it with floats.
Looks like a Croc.

@jknaus Really cool acquisitions James!
I was interested in the Italian plane until I saw a price tag. I have been really cutting back on my buys and it is starting to get easier, though some still slip in like the 1/16th Sdkfz 251 from Das Werk.
Das Werk has been coming out with some really interesting kits lately, and there are some more interesting ones coming.

Me too, but this one was fairly inexpensive and on sale. Unfortunately it was sent from Italy and they sent it economy and so two months went past before it arrived. Nice kit but too expensive and I wont buy from that place again.
As for Das Werk, they have brought out some very cool stuff. I got onboard right away with their first kit to find that the pre orders where sent after they sent the kits to stores. Was not happy to have to wait until after my local store already had it to get mine. Since then every kit I have bought has had problems with the instructions and other issues so I am pretty well just not buying their stuff unless it is something really interesting such as this. I will be buying their upcoming Bussing Nag Flak truck though as it is something I have wanted to build for a number of years. I have a resin kit I bought a long time ago, but it was second hand and it was missing parts and had poor castings and broken pieces and needed a Flk 17. I had one but lent it to my son so he could draw a 3D drawing and he trashed it. Unfortunately although he was very talented he lost interest after a few drawings and wont even try doing it again, especially as I asked if he could make 3D files for me. Just not interested at all.

I seem to be stacking up projects while they pop into my mind but not sure when i will get round to them.
It occurred to me that i would love to build a WnW model but could never justify the price, I built a FE2b years ago and it was good fun so thought i would try and find a cheaper alternative.
Well the FE2 was out of the question but i did find this
So what a great project, Can the Roden DH-2 be built into a WnW competitor at a 3rd of the price of the WnW ?
I had a quick look in the box and i think its possible

Cool Paddy!
I picked up an old one but a good one last weekend while volunteering at our local museum. The old Revell Raiden kit from the '70's (1/32)
While there, I noticed he had a larger built aircraft up in the stores closet. It was a BV 238. I asked what they were doing with it and was told if I took it immediately, I could have it! They got it at auction with a bunch of other kits.
I believe it is an old Airmodel Vac kit. The port wing had broken off, the previous builder had filled it with some sort of cement so it was heavy as hell!

Yeah, I'm going to try and bring it back to life. Just working on stripping all the old layers of paint and stuff off it now! I'll have to source some reasonable props and exhausts and a few other things but I'm going to try and breathe some new life in it!

Mail call jujst came. I got my Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero to do one from Pearl Harbour and while shopping saw the new Kozak 2 Ukrainian MRAP from ICM. So of course picked it up. And finally I splurged on a 1/32 F-35A which I will do in Canadian colours now that we are finally going to get them....maybe. Not bad when you consider I was only looking for the Zero and some drill bits. I love the shop in Winnipeg as he always gives a little gift in the order. More exacto blades and a bottle of Micro Liquid Tape, something I have never used before unless this is a rename of their metal foil adhesive. Oops forgot pics.

I had a MegaHobby $10 coupon and they had a 25% flash sale off Eduard...
Yes, I already bought a set of BRONZE undercarriage legs but I have five Eduard kits!

Those look really good Saúl!
Those 3D prints are so sharp it is hard to believe that they are 1/48th. Eduard has really upped their game. They have had to with some of the other companies that have gotten into the hobby lately like Quinta Studio.
