Posts without pictures just looks a bit bland so here are pictures of the F-8 added to the BoB site as well as the Fw 190D13. My friend Phil has agreed to let me use some of his pictures too. The Fw 190 was taken by Phil.

Last week saw the arrival of yet another Century Wings F-8 (already listed on BoB) and the first of the Carousel 1 Models. This is the Fw 190D13 flown by Frans Gotz. An unsual scheme on an aircraft that survived the war and is on display in a museum in the USA.

In addition four Minichamps 1/35 models arrived and went directly into a waiting collection. The models included 2 M-4 Shermans, a Jagdpanther and an M-48 Paton tank.

Good news is that the Halifax and He-111 have arrived at customs so these along with one or two other models should be available for sale next week.

One of the Dragon Tiger/T-34 sets from the previous post has also been sold leaving just one set available.

Took delivery of a Witty VF-111 Sundowners F-14A this morning and immediately delivered it to the client. We'd received a damaged model from the US that thankfully was able to be replaced. Happiness! And another satisfied customer!

On the Armour front things have been very slow even though we've moved some Dragon Armour 1/72 models, Tigers, Panthers and Shermans. Given the slow take up on the Dragons which are very detailed models even though the later releases did get a little light we're hesistant to offer another line, Hobby Master, with new models including the KV 1, Cromwell, Centaur, Pershing, Centurion, T-55, Greyhound Armoured Car and more.

Models currently available including a very hard to find diorama.

Still having issue with delays due to the postal strike. The up side is that two Century Wings fighters have come in! They are the Fighting Shamrocks F-8 and the Limited Edition US Only F-14 Black Knights. Both very desirable! In addition a few Hobby Master planes are due in along with a couple of IXO flying boats in 1/144 scale, these should be interesting. From HM there's a couple of WWII types, Ju-87 Stuka and P-39 Aircobra with the unusual mid-mounted configuration. Modern includes an F-104G, MIG 21 and Mirage 2000. Look out for them on BoB. The F-8 was specifically ordered though.

Been doing some buying and have two 1/72 Corgi bombers enroute. One is the Battle of Britain Heinkel He111 H-3 and the other a Halifax B.Mk.III, the most famous one, Friday the Thirteenth. In addition, a few 1/48 Carousel 1 WWII fighters are also being shipped over. These are high quality models that would be well placed in any collection. Some parcels seem to have been affected by the postal strike with two arriving in SA more than a week ago and still no contact from the Post Office. Recent additions to the site include a P-38 Lightning and Hawker Typhoon.
