Stuart, I think that you have a few more than a “couple” of new acquisitions there… :hmm: and yes, those should keep you occupied for awhile…

:wow:

That is some nice stuff.

Had an acquaintance (barely) in the 70s that flew the Pitts competively. Name was Gene Soucy. Had some success for a bit.

Nice haul Stuart. Always liked the canopy articulation of the f-84f... but ya, f-86 is a beloved plane so :ballbat:
Thanks,

Been waiting for one of these for a while. Rather it be a D but I'll take it. And it was cheap ( which usually means re-release coming... )

Thanks Lyle!

That's cool. The Pitts is a great little aircraft - it's tiny in 1/72!

Thanks John!

It gets worse, I'd argue the Mig-15 was a better looking aircraft :lashed: Lol! It's not like I don't love the Sabre though. :grin:

Good score John!

Cool aircraft, I do like the OH-58, I built the Matchbox D a few years back.

John, you’re gonna like that Kiowa kit. It’s a good one.
