Oooh!  A Dalek!   

That'll be on my 'must have' list, along with the Hawk 128, TSR.2, and B-57.

I wonder if they have scaled down one of the 1/48 kits for this one    Maybe we might get a 1/72 injection Mk.22/24 from them too.

The 22/24 and Seafire 46/47 were done by the same dudes that design Tamiya's moulds and that was over ten years back. 

That's interesting, I didn't know that.  I've read though that the 22/24 & 46/47 are some of the best in 1/48th, reason I got the Eduard 22/24 kit, it uses the Airfix kit as a base.  The guys who did the 22/24 moulds must have done the Airfix Club Limited Edition Mk.XVI too, because comparing the parts between the two kits, they are very similar.

Quick! Get 'im --- don't let 'im get away

I "have" to build one of the Shaun the Sheep kits for my 4 year old Godson - the mind starts to boggle with what the Taf's will do when the Dr Who "Kylie" kit comes out

As she's not that tall a 1/1 model wouldn't be very big

Yes, but it's a new series Dalek.  Not a lot of conversion potential there - had they done a "classic" series one, you could have got any dalek from '63 up to '84 out of it.

Not normally in the habit of posting ebay links, but I'll make an exception for this:

He WILL be hunted down and held until he announces to the world that P-51s were British aircraft that just happened to be built in America and that Mr Mitchell's finest rules. 
Everywhere.
