After much soul searching and following orders from she who must be ebayed.... sorry obeyed, I have reduced a 2000 kit stash down to around 750. The problem is I keep finding more kits stashed away in all kinds of cubby holes and the old girl is getting wise to my little secrets. Still she got the 42" flat screen + surround sound out of this years sales so she can't complain but now I'm not allowed to buy any more kits until next year.

Of course, this was all agreed before I found the 'What Iffers' .  So here is my cunning little plan. I'm not likely to do anymore rotary birds due to lack of space etc so ......... I have a Maintrack resin Boeing Vertol Chinook HC.1 up for swap. White metal and Resin kit, surface detail is a bit rough but an interesting little model for the skilled modeller. There are no decals with this kit, there never were and the rotor blades need to be cut from a supplied sheet of plastic card and shaped.

Fairly rare kit I believe, haven't seen one on ebay in my many evenings of surfing the web and didn't know I had one until I opened a box marked 7" singles (blimey the rubbish I used to listen too !).

Now the nasty part..... sorry not first come first served but a case of the best offer gets the kit (I'll give it a week). I'm open to all offers of 1/72nd aircraft (I'm into 50's and 60's) but will go modern if required, decals .... particularly interested in Canadian, Australian and European, they don't have to be complete. Not worried about boxes (most of my kits are stored in their bags as the wife knows I can't sell them without the boxes tee hee)

If you really want to impress me here's my current wants list all in 1/72nd (not in any particular order....)

Sounds interesting...certainly a rare kit - I've never seen one, and I've had my hands on just about every 1/72nd scale chopper ever kitted at one time or another.

I bid one Monogram Tigercat.

If you look over in my "Stuff for Sale" thread, I've got the Monogram F7F and the Albatross, plus I've got a Humbrol Harrier T.4, but I'm not interested in the Chinook.
