In TK Maxx at Lakeside I got 2 of the Revell 1/72 DC-3 sets for less than £7 each.

TK Max sell model kits???
well, I will have to have a look in there then, I think there is one near me somewhere.
newest addition to the shed filler is a Matchbox Hawk 200, thankyou Runaway, and a F-5 e Tiger 2 for 4 quid of ebay, it is the newer boxed Airfix version with the marines aggressor and US air force decals. Not that it will be a US aircraft.

Novo DH88 Comet Racer arrived from the Uk today - will either do as C-ACSR or Clouston and Ricketts' 'CSS.

Hmmmn.  Don't think it's the Accidental moulding - why rebox someone elses kit when you have your own tooling that's equivalent quality?

Take your point, Lee. But there is a 'tenuous' link to Occidental thru Heller (their G91 is offered by Heller). As I don't have the Occidental Spit XVI it is really difficult to tell. Long story short, it's a 1:48 low-back Spit XVI and that has to be a good thing !

Thats the way things will be for the forseeable future I'm afraid what with the slide (collapse) in the value of the pound  - low intrest rates equate to a low pound and high prices for kits. Interesting subject though. Just hope they bring out some other early WWII tanks.

Rad have you any idea if Trump have "played" with the Tamiya kit ?

Airfix S-3A Viking

Hasegawa F-16A Plus Falcon
Hasegawa F-86F Sabre

[ChernayaAkula]

On the way to me are (will arrive tomorrow, I hope)....

an RoG 1/72 Fennek armoured reconnaissance car (this will be a whif - IMI 60mm HVM gun in a turret like the Fox armoured reconnaissance car, maybe some ATGMs (from Tiger attack chopper?) on a raisable launcher (former sensor mast) - one hunter (normal Fennek) & one killer!)

an RoG easykitPocket Snowspeeder (approx. 1/53) (hmmm, what about green brown Il-2 camo with white-wash and patriotic slogans?)

and another RoG 1/72 Fw "Flitzer" (fairly certain to be an Italian Flitzer).

2 x 1/48th HobbyBoss MiG-17PF Fresco "D"s....Soviet, Polish, Chinese markings

[Dork the kit slayer]

Just luuuv ebay for bargains.  The Kingfisher will replace the one that is currently being Wiffed,the Mariner hopefull will turn into a USCG job........................but there again I do like  that grey and white "Atlantic" scheme.

Perhaps a bit too "real world" for some?

A cheap 1/32 Revell Hunter Mk.6 arrived today via the posty off EB 

[Weaver]

From ebay: Revell 1/72nd Gannet. Snapped it up thinking it was the new one at a bargain price. Should have done the research: it's the re-box of the old Frog one, and no better than the Novo one I've already got....

Still, at least I've got two canopies now, so I'm a bit safer "playing" with one of them.......

[pyro-manic]

Got back to my parents' house in Wales, and there was a figure kit waiting for me, of Aina Sakhalin from the Gundam 08th MS Team series. Not sure of the scale, but it's likely 1:8 or thereabouts.


Also narrowly avoided picking up a 1:32 Revell Hunter in Antics in Cardiff. I have a cracking idea for it, but I just don't have the spare cash at the moment. It can wait until I finish my current builds/have a little bit of money to spare...
