SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

1/32 Viggen is going to be a large model!

Yes it is! I was surprised when I did a quick dry fit of the fuselage pieces just how large it is going to be.

That Heyford is one bizarre looking contraption!

Anyone else hear "Catch the Pidgeon"

Picked these oldies up today for around $60. Pretty obscure subjects.

I have a mostly built but unpainted Heyford, as well as an unbuilt Lysander. I might finish the Heyford someday, but the Lysander will remain unbuilt. Though I'm holding out hope of finding a Revell reboxing of it that I can build.

I'm curious. Why will the Lysander remain unbuilt? Investment?

Why can't you build the Lysander? Which kit do you have?

I have the same 1:32 scale Lysander kit you do, and I "can't" build it because it's so old yet as-new in the box, and I have serious nostalgia for Matchbox kits in the old style of box So it's in my modest collection of old kits that will never be built because of being vintage.

I built a couple of the 1:32 scale Matchbox aircraft when I was young (the SBD Dauntless, Spitfire and Bf 109), but also always liked the Lysander in the catalog, though I never bought it. That's why I would like to find a reasonably priced Revell issue of it, because those are less vintage and I don't care nearly as much about Revell as I do about Matchbox

Local antique mall is having a sale. I spotted this a couple weeks ago and thankfully it was still there...and at 25% off!
