true, and including a couple of Hellfires wouldn't go amiss either  :huh:

today... Zvezda MiG-21bis, Trumpeter An-2 (both to be GB People's AF) and a cheap Revell 1/72 KFOR vehicle set - Leopard 2, Luchs & Fuchs which work out about £3 each  :tank:

Saw one in my LMS today but at a tenner I thought it was very pricey, for the amount of plastic you get.

Bit of an understatement there simon.  picked one up last night at MAM, and had it built in under 5 mins.  £3.99 would have been more realalistic price wise.  But no doubt they will be blaming the increases in oil prices for such high priceing for such a small model made up of 21 parts................

I guess some of the reason is that the kit is originally from Platz, not known for their low prices.  If these price hikes start being the norm though, we'll have to, God Forbid!...... build from our stashes!!! :o :o :o
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Airfix F-86D off ebay rolled up yesterday, destined to be seriously hacked about into an Avro Archer. Sod's Law in operation: all the bits I want to replace are moulded integrally, and all the bits I would've preferred integral are separate... :rolleyes:

Nice little kit BTW, if anyone wants a straight 'dog.
