Why don't you mark the teas as coffees & vice versa to confuse the JMN's, that might cause a bit of head scratching!  The Airfix bread pudding is quite acceptable, but it's worth paying the extra few quid for the new Revell release.   Shouldn't be too difficult to bash it into bread & butter pudding, a bit of effort, but it'd be worth it!

The Airfix Devastator?  It's nice toasted, with some brown sauce drizzled on it.

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.

also holds up hand, no canberras here as well. .

And the other hand from behind your back.  No, both hands together.... :rolleyes: Now roll your sleeves up....

eBay again !.....

1:72 Esci F-111A for seven English pounds. Great for What Iffing - Obviously a 'Merlin' all I have to do is decide which scheme to use from my carefully hoarded Xtradecal TSR2 sheets. Just watched a Hasegawa F-111F go for £72.00 (US = $120.00)..... Madness I tell you  :blink:

It's brain dead loony prices for model kits that make this once affordable hobby start to become out of reach to people (paupers) like me :angry: :banghead:

Alright, curiosity has me, guys - what's the story behind the nickname of Toom for the Phantom?  Nice stack of them btw, Martin.

Yeah, I've heard that too.  I think it's got something to do with it being Phantom II, i.e. Phan-two-m?  :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:  Then the original nickname was contracted & you're left with 'Toom'.

just an emhar F-3 demon from the yate show yesterday, quite restrained really......

however, heaps of aftermarket bits including an RF-8 conversion, two eduard TSR-2 etched cockpit sets for £5, EB-66E conversion,
some resin vulcan intakes, canberra decals, an RF-4 nose conversion.

all in all a good show. the all day breakfast they serve was rather good too.
