What did you do Lyle, rob a bank? That’s a lot of big kits that you had come in recently…. :hmm: You lucky dog!

Nice haul, Lyle! Lots of rigs. That Catalina is a great grab! Time to put on a CW McCall record single on the turntable... :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:

Man you're trying to kill me with all those trucks Lyle! Good for you. I do hope to get one or two for my Birthday in May, when I'm a bit more flush. Great to see the Skycrane turn up.

These were over several months...not a all-at-one-time purchase. Close, but.....

Picked up some doo-dads from Sprue Brothers. I really like Master Model bits. The F-18 AOA indicators were cheap and a neat detail if I don't loose the little metal bits. The A-10 barrel(s) is exquisite and always been a big fan of Verlinden ejections seats. But I only have one A-7 :hmm:

The second seat is your excuse to get another. Can never have too many SLUF's

I got my bonus in march so I thought I'd splurge. No paint, glue and functions! Beautiful packaging and machining

That is a cool kit. I've always wanted the V-8 engine one.

Heck, I wouldn't mind getting that one, John.
