Oh wow… never knew MPC did aircraft kits. Very cool find! A great deal on a pair of Mustangs.

MPC Re-boxed numerous Airfix kits (the good ones and the bad ones ).

That MPC Profile Series A-7 kit sure brings back some memories... Version wise they weren't too accurate, but they did have great decal markings options.

That's s decent looking haul of goodies

Yeah, I built a whole mess of MPC Profile Series aircraft, I loved their box art! I think there are five I didn't build, but my first ever 1/72 scale aircraft was an MPC Profile Series Folke Wulf Fw-190.......which I still have!

The Airfix A-7 isn't a bad kit, although lacking in modern detail (the weapons suck) it does have a full intake trunking and the shape looks good. I built one as part of Manny's Airfix Groupie GB back in 2015 - not my best work...

With some AM and replacement weapons it could probably be built up into a really nice model, just watch out for the folding wing option...





Cheers!

And it's one of the few Airfix kits with.... wait for it.... WHEEL WELL DETAIL (if that sort of thing appeals to you ).

3D printed Talbot Lago engine and grill



Paints for Italian planes - May start my Macchi Veltro

Ooh MRP, good stuff

Here's some items that have been gifted to me.

First, from a very generous Canadian, here are 100 3-D printed chairs in 1/72 scale. Some are complete, others will need to be assembled:



One of my fellow Orange County IPMS friends gifted me these and more:



In addition to the above, he also gifted two, possibly three other 1/72 scale P-51D models in baggies,, all complete. I'm planning on keeping the P-38 (it's already started as you can see soon in my next tour) and the egg plane. I'm still debating whether I'll build the P-51B, but all the -D Mustangs I'd like to sell. Anyone want a herd of Mustangs, give me an offer. Try not to low ball me too much though; we are insolvent here and I could really use the money.

That's all for now. I'm going to go prepare for the next Maddog Manufacturing tour now.
