A Mixed Bunch

Of these three new releases only one is a re-issue.  The F-89 was first tooled in 1991, and yes, it is a bit rough around the edges, but nothing serious.  It is nicely engraved and riveted, well weaponed and offers two colourful aircraft to choose from.  You can also pick a D or a J version.  It's a kit I've been looking forward to building for some time.  Bare metal and bright orange red.  Fantastic.  I've actually started work already.

                                                                                                                                                                 



The other two, well more on those later.  Oh yes, HMS Eskimo.  It's a boat.  I like boats.

The Stalker

It doesn't seem to matter where I'm working in my room, the eyes follow me....I'm not used to company so it's a bit unnerving.  And the teeth!


I've had a brief departure from aircraft, just long enough to build this vinyl beast.  The 'Spitter' from Jurassic Park was a tough act but no match for my hairdryer.  He's been wrangled into shape and now he's in a cardboard box, headed for life in the big city.
