In a recent post, I promised I would treat myself by buying a couple of new kits as a BAR birthday present to me.
Today, I made good on that promise by taking a trip to the local Hobby Lobby.
I ended up walking away with not a couple - not three - but four new additions to the stash.
Three of the kits are strictly earmarked as parts sources for other projects:
The Mean Machine and Baby Bertha are destined to become Big Bertha, Omega and Astron Spaceman clones, three of my 'old fleet' favorites.
This is after all, the BlastFromThePAST Blog.
The remaining body tube pieces will likely become various booster stages and payload sections.
The Cherokee-E was purchased mainly for the body tube to replace a BT-55 that came in a Nike-X kit in damaged condition. The leftover usable body sections will also be cobbled into boosters and payload tubes.
Only the Crossfire ISX kit will be built as originally intended.
It's simply a cool looking design...
