the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

I've had no response from Airfix so I may well turn up at Telford with armfulls of the things.

I'll also be having a free and frank exchange of views with the people on the Airfix stand!!!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Kit, I'll take one off you if get too many. It should look good in 1960s USAF markings!

On the new-style paint and decal guide in the instructions:

"Airfix extends it's thanks to Colonel White and the personnel of Cloudbase for their assistance in the preparation of this kit. Thanks also go to Fanderson and Dave Sissons."

So how many do you have left Kit after all of the previous offers to take a few off your hands?  Will oblige (1) if there's anything left over.

I haven't seen hide nor hair of the real plastic so far. Either Airfix are swinging the lead or my postie is a closet Captain Scarlett fan!

I'll bring all the ones I get to Telford and we can have a count up on the stand, assuming they arrive by then of course.....

We sold at least ten at Models4hobby in the first couple of days of the kit coming out.  ;D

Bad news for those who hoped to profit from my unwitting purchase of an entire Angel Interceptor squadron. Airfix have repaid me for one of the batches of 3 that I bought, at least the money has appeared in my bank account (dated tomorrow.......... :unsure:) but they have yet to email me with the news.

I may only build two of the other batch so one may become surplus as time passes but it'll be a while yet I'm afraid.
