Nothing built to show yet, but here is a pic of my 1/32 (only) aircraft kit stash I've been building up the past year or so, have bought a good H & S airbrush and Sparmax compressor recently and have been practising my skills on an old Revell 1/32 Spitfire MK1, I've learned a lot on that old kit and am well into a 1/32 Trumpeter EE Lightning and 1/32 Revell Red Arrows Hawk that should be finished soon ...

My stash pics, all the Aircraft are 1/32 and there's probably about 2 grand or mores worth here, many have resin, photo etch, decals and other after market parts in the boxes ready to go for when I hit them.



Some additions since that pic, this was my Christmas present to myself, an exception to my 1/32 Aircraft rule here, always wanted the Tamiya 1/350 aircraft carrier USS Enterprise ... amazing kit!



Un pictured are a Trumpeter SU-27 and Trumpeter Swordfish both in 1/32 again and I've a Trumpeter 1/32 ME 262 on order, after that I wont be buying many more ... I need to get building and lord knows where I'll display them, many of them like the 1/32 HE 111 are massive.

Soooo many kits I want in amongst that lot. I love 1:32, I have a Revell Hunter on the go at the moment. It's the best kit I have ever built (and I've built the fabled 1:24 Mossie as well. The stories of a gapless fit were exaggerated, especially if you want to do it gear up), it falls together right out the box, so literally the only thing that lets it down is my clumsy paws I'd love to try the Trumpeter BAC Lightning though, and I've got my sights set on a Hawk as soon as I get back to the UK over the summer (I love Revell for 1:32, simply because they are ridiculously cheap for how good they are). Also, over where I am now there's a toy shop that's got the 1:32 Ju88 sat on a shelf. It's been there longer than I've been going there, the box is battered as hell (since it's a kids toy shop, who knows what they were thinking when they bought the Ju88 for that), and every time I go in there I just feel sorry for it. As soon as I have the cash I've told the missus I'm going to go and 'rescue' it, since I couldn't justify it any other way Still not sure she's convinced though
