Nev, you could have given us a link to SAMI's website, they always show the current issue.

Anyways, we're long overdue for the November issue here.

I guess the "Santa Maria" got sunk by a U-Boat.

Can't order any TSR2s in my local hobby shop.  :angry:  I guess that project, and my export plans to deserving modellers elsewhere will have to wait until Airfix get a true feel for customer demand.  They didn't pull this 'limited run' nonsense with their popular 48th Hawks eh...  I shall remonstrate with Uncle Trevor at 'udders.

:ar:

Probably a daft question and no upset is intended, but why didn't you order one, long, long ago, when the rest of us did? Besides a crack at the Airfix Club Members edition, I've got 'em coming from Hannants, Models2U and Preston Transport Models.

WHAT?!?!?  Oh c'mon Phil tell me you can track down at least 2 for me? :o  :(

Martin H did say - when I queried in Novemeber - don't worry you'll be able to get them no probs.    

Tried to order here ahead of release, about the same timeframe as I did for 48th Hawks which I then mailed to SA friends.  Brad, you'd have been first in line, our mutual friend in Buenos Aires second, then me third.  And vague notions for a fourth, but could resort to resin for that.  Will the supposed availability kill the Heritage resin off though, leaving us with.. none at all - until Airfix accountants see the light?

To think many here want half a dozen or so each.

What the hell are they playing at with 10000?  They sold more 1/24 Harriers than that.

Phil. I have two posible sources for the kit lined up. Ill have a chat with u at MK.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

ok cheers Martin.  We must chat in 10 or so days time, cos as you can see, Scooterman is distressed, we need to put him out of his TSR woes and misery eh.  I can afford to wait a year or three, my 2 silly WIFs can easily wait another day.
