New stash for 2024

Hey everyone.

I hope you're all enjoying a well deserved break from the norm and for those who may celebrate, I hope you're having a great Christmas with your families and loved ones. May you all have the best 2024! ๐Ÿ˜Š

After being spoiled this Christmas, I'm excited to share with you what's in store these next 6 or 9 months or so:

Hawker MkI. Going to finish this one in the alternate markings (Flight Lieutenant Ian Richard Gleed {Widge}) No.87 Squadron. S/N AL K.

1/48 McDonald Douglas . Doing this one in the alternative mark up as it will be armed. Picture shown.

1/48 Lockheed Martin . Going to finish this one with the Australian RAAF markings. Especially looking forward to this one!

O and of course the Lego Technic F1 McLaren MCL35 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Well it's a model of sorts! Loving this kit. A mammoth Lego kit.

Can't wait to get started, and I will most likely begin with the Hurricane.

So what's in store for you guys and girls in the new year? Do tell ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

Happy modeling everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

  1. That looks like a great haul. You're going to love the Hurricane kit for sure. there pretty nice kits. I can't wait to see what you do with them.

    • Yeah I'm really looking forward to the Hurricane mate. Just spent a few hours going through the Airfix paint codes for this kit and converting them to Tamiya acrylic's equivalents. I'm happy now that I know what I'm doing ๐Ÿ˜€

      Cheers Clint (@curtisshawk)

  2. That's an awesome stash, Scott! Looking forward to them!
    Wishing You and Yours a Happy, Prosperous 2024!

  3. Superb Christmas gifts, Scott @scottiya
    We do have this McLaren standing here and it is indeed huge, build by my daughter who is a big fan of Lando Norris ๐Ÿ™‚
    Happy New Year

  4. Nice lineup, Scott! I'm off this week, making good progress on a 1/35 Meng AH-64D Apache helicopter, finishing up decals then the best part (IMO) - weathering, wash, highlights, and final detailing. Then it's on to a 1/48 Meng F-4E Phantom and 1/32 Hasegawa P-51D Mustang that I scored on sale.

    Cheers, here's to a healthy and successful 2024!

  5. Looks like you got lucky with Santa there, Scott, looking forward to seeing them built in 2024.

  6. Nice haul, Scott! Santaโ€™s little helper left this FM-1 under the tree for me. She also stated that a portly, British, seabird in a red Airfix box didnโ€™t make it on time for Christmas but is winging its way to our door๐Ÿ˜‚.

  7. Looks good Scott ๐Ÿ‘ how many parts in the Lego kit Scott. My wife's into Lego her biggest build is the Titanic 9090 parts ๐Ÿ˜Š

  8. That is some box art for the Lightning II, and I am sure the kit quality will be equally as good. The Hurricane is always a favorite of mine. Like John, my Christmas is deferred. After reading the review of the Halberd Mustang I, (curses you Chateau du Chat Baron!) I ordered one. I had been blissfully ignorant of Halberd kits and was waiting out the release of Eduardโ€™s P-51B.

    • Hey Russell @russjurco.
      I must admit Iโ€™m unfamiliar with Halberd kits! So theyโ€™re good? Worth looking at? Iโ€™m yet to try an Eduard kit. They look like theyโ€™re very good.

      • Check out Tom Cleaverโ€™s review of the Halberd Mustang I right here on iModeler. I was sold on it immediately. I also checked out Halberdโ€™s web site and the photos of the parts only confirmed the quality of the kit. Eduardโ€™s kits are sensational. The delicate small parts can be daunting but you should try one. The Spitfire Ia is right up your alley.

  9. ๐Ÿ™‚ ... Greetings ... ๐Ÿ™‚ :
    Seems you are having a very good start for this new coming year on this great hobby Scott.
    Really enjoy these and do post them, it will be a pleasure to see them.

  10. Those are some fine kits awaiting your talented hands. Hope the new year brings you good health and happiness. Cheers! @scottiya
