This will hopefully get me trough the winter
Then again by looking at the "to do" pile, i'll be ok till winter 2015 :lol:

Tamiya 1/12th McLaren MP4/6 (first issue)
Tamiya 1/20th McLaren MP4/13 (black box)
Tamiya 1/20th Lotus 107B
Revell 1/24th Pennzoil Top Fuel dragster
AMT 1/25th Western Auto Lumina Nascar
Monogram 1/24th Miller Buick Regal Nascar

and there might be a 1/12th Tyrrell P34 or 1/12th Williams FW14B on the way soon

yeah eventually I will need to get myself the south african 126C2 DX car. Just at the moment I cant buy any more.
Hopefully there will still be one for me in a few months time.

I've thought about the whole MFH vs Tamiya (or MM vs plastic) issue and my pile of plastic kits. Some look really cool and enjoyable (like senna's toleman, the BT52, etc) and other kits that will most likely never be produced in plastic. I've thought about taking one or two of my 1/12 kits (or many of my 1/20 kits) "behind the woodshed" for one quality MFH kit...It's fun to think about at least! :)

I think I bought the last 3 monts about 30 kits. Some new and some second hand(but complete)
Here are some kits:
1/12 williams fw14b
1/12 Honda Ra273
1/12 Porsche Turbo RSR 934 Jagermeister
1/12 ferrari 312t
1/12 renault re20
1/12 Yamaha YZR 500(14043)
1/20 mclaren mp4/5b
1/20 mclaren mp4/4
1/20 lotus 79
1/20 hasegawa lotus 79 and ferrari 312t brazil
1/24 bmw 635 csi
1/24 bmw 320i jagermeister

I also pre ordered the 2009 yamaha from tamiya, fujimi f187 and porsche 917 martini
I can go on, but the list will be long. I think I got a disease in buying model kits. But I'm not alone in this mather, I think.
when I don't biuld, I buy. Most of the kits I buy are second hand and in very good condition.

Lesley
