So first class post does work 

Oh ye of little faith 

Maybe we should start a 534 fan club or SIG ?

Have you got a 534 for the membership fee ?

There is a Spitfire SIG, and we were in a SIG for an a/c which had a prodution run in single figures so it's not as stupid as ----- God what am I saying??!

Picked up a 1/48th Academy Challanger II at my LHS.. Originally designed to be a motorised toy so the parts are pretty basic, the gun has an awful trench down the underside. I brought it because I like the idea of 48th armour kits, but if they are all going  to be lik ethat then I'll stick to 72nd scale!!

The Tamiya and Hobby Boss ones are very nice.

Well I went to Modelzone in Manchester on Friday and came away with...... one tube of putty.

Does this mean I have enough kits now?

I would be interested in your expert opinion about this kit Martin.

[Captain Canada]

Grabbed a 144th scale F-20 yesterday. Got ho,me and started drooling over the kit, some nice little weapons, a couple different centreline options....and then I see the canopy ! WTF ? Ruins the whole kit ! I'm going to try something, not sure what, tho. It would be easier to hack it up and model it open, but I really want to make this one a flier, with the wheels down, so I can do some touch and goes.

Anybody have any ideas on how to fix it ?
