I’ve got an unboxing video of another kit not in this video coming up

I attend TRICON (Pittsburgh, PA area IPMS club) this past Saturday. I think I did rather well. All kits were new with sealed bags: 1/72 Aircraft Airfix Swordfish Mk. I Airfix Buccaneer S.2C Hasegawa KA-3B Skywarrior Hasegawa MiG-25 FOXBAT Tamiya Shiden Type 11 MPC (really Airfix) U-2 1/35 Armor Italeri LVT-(A)1 Alligator Add several copies of Wings and Airpower magazines, the Detail & Scale on the F-8 Crusader, and an old sheet of Microscale decals for the F-101 and F-102. $98US (£77)

Not too shabby. I guess I’m not the only one getting bargains!

Некоторые вещицы очень интересные...Лайк.

You got some great stuff. I deliberately didn't bring too much money to Peterborough (only about £50) as I spent a small fortune at the Shuttleworth show. I regret it now as there was some great resin accessories I would have loved to have bought. Hopefully I'll see that trader again at another show later in the year. I like the look of the resin car you got, although I am a bit weary of resin kits.. The Academy Storch is a great kit, I have built a couple, the detail is nice and it goes together well. I'm yet to build the French version, but no doubt I will, one day. I have the Siskin kit but not yet built. I got it cheap at a show years ago, as all the parts were cut off from the sprues, perhaps that is a thing with the Siskin kits?? That's probably why I haven't built it yet. ;) The Walrus is another classic Matchbox kit, very nice.. The Vickers Vimy I know nothing about, but I like the box art. The parts look crisp in the box, with a bit of flash, as is only to be expected. It is a NOVO kit after all. The Spad looks like a limited run kit, I'm glad they supplied two lots of vac-form clear parts, I wish all companies that do vac-form would supply more than one set, out of courtesy.I must have missed that Japanese catapult biplane.. It's the sort of aircraft I would go for as well, if the price is right. No doubt you can find the missing instructions online somewhere, if you search. The Arado vs Gladiator is an interesting combo, another kit I missed as I looked round.. :) The Anson should be fun.. short run and resin, I bid you the best of luck! :) Great signed box as well.. I bought the Italeri 1/35 Panzerwerfer 42, a set of 1/35 German trailers, the old Airfix 1/72 Scottish Aviation Bulldog, which I have been after for quite a few years, a book about Warsaw Pact aircraft, some clamps, shrubs, a cutting mat and a brush. Oh, and some glue.. :) I'm sorry for such a long comment, I guess I got carried away.. :)

I must say that Ipswich have a show in June and it will probably be smaller but I might be there. I don’t know why but I ended up with a lot of biplanes and I definitely ended up with a lot of bargains. You seem to have good a few good things as well. I noticed that in your video I think i can see myself in the back 😂. Thanks rob for the comment and at some point I hope to see you at a model show. Happy modelling!

The Ipswich show is one of few shows that is held on a Saturday, so I have gone there the last couple of years. But now I don't have to work Sundays any more, so I can attend most shows that my club goes to. Ipswich is a small show, yes, but I like it and I always do well in their raffle.. I may donate a couple of kits to the raffle this year actually, I used to be a member of the Ipswich club but sadly my work hours and lack of transport have stopped me from going to their meetings the last few years. I still like to support them though, it's a great bunch of people. So yes, maybe we'll bump into each other there.. @@ModelWingsForever

I have that vimy kit, its actually moulded from a version tooled as alcock and brown's transatlantic flight vimy, and had the large "humpback" between the cockpit and mid gunner for the storage of extra fuel, that I believe wartime vimys did not have, but I'm not sure if this kit is the same as the commercial one you mentioned.

theres an interesting story about the real 29 squadron siskins, at this time British fighters had brightly coloured designs on the wings and fuselage, so, a 29 squadron officer told the ground crews to paint "29" but in roman numerals, when asked what that was, he replied "X,X, one X, (XXIX) however when he returned later he found all the aircraft had been painted with "XXX" literally X,X, one X (30!) as in your box artwork, and to this day 29 squadron aircraft carry three red Xs on them to commemorate this.

Now that Is something I didn’t know, I always liked the Siskin and the other day I think I drove past 29 squadron so that is why I chose it.

That's a good haul of some really interesting kits there. 👍 Who was that chap you mentioned near the end of the video? I didn't quite catch his name.
