so what's on your Christmas list?
So then Gents,
What’s on your wish list to Santa this year? (Assuming you've been good of course)
I've actually not asked for anything this year - as I'm still building the kits from last year. But if I had to pick one I'd really like the new Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Swift, or maybe their 1/600 Ark Royal.
Cheers
Stuart

Re: so what's on your Christmas list?
Please Santa.
I would like a decent kit of the Royal Naval Commando Seaking Mk4 in 1/72 or 1/48 as no one makes one at the moment, The Cyber Hobby kit is expensive and full of major errors and conversion kits are expensive and very hard to find.
Please ask the nice gents at Airfix to make me one as their Seaking is due for a major overhaul.
Regards Splash
PS I have been a good boy honest

Re: so what's on your Christmas list?
I keep hoping that some brave model company with produce a good AH-1G Cobra in 1/48th scale. The Legacy Cobra. 1/72 is covered now but really? Isn't the G model iconic enough?
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

Mrs Dazzled has already bought me a tablet computer which I'm using to write this post. I am dropping hints about a model or two though

Re: so what's on your Christmas list?
A hot 25 year old mistress would be most excellent or failing that (very, very, likely as I really don't fancy Mrs W chopping my wotsits off with a blunt penknife ) I am keeping my options open and will see what Telford throws up. This year I'm more likely to buy the more mundane but necessary things like paints, filler and tools but in addition perhaps some aftermarket decal sheets for some of the kits I already have rather than adding to the pending pile, but we shall see.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Could you keep up the pace? And think how this could eat into your modelling time, not to mention budget.ShaunW wrote:A hot 25 year old mistress would be most excellent

Wishing I was financially secure enough not to have to work away from home yet again this year over Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing Day, but that January pay cheque is always a wowser!!

OK, money no object:
Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire Mk IX
Airfix 1/24 Typhoon 1b
Airfix 1/24 Mosquito
Italeri 1/72 Stirling IV
Italeri 1/72 Sunderland III
Trumpeter 1/48 DH Hornet F1 or 3, I'm not fussy
Iwata airbrush plus compressor.
Right. I think that's eminently feasible and not at all greedy. Ho ho ho!

Martin
