Back of the net I would say, as I was not expecting anything for them.

Nice ! How is the kit ?

At my LHS I grabbed the 350 scale Trafalgar and a SHAR. Going to build the latter right now....with some Meteors.

:wub:
I have not got it yet as they have to order it in for me, but by what I have heard from others who already have the kit, it is very nice. I still pondering what to do with it, as it has so many possibilities...

No, it's definitely a Frog one - Frog box and later artwork but one of the all in one boxes with the opening lid.  The dark blue plastic was what they used right at the end, AFAIK - I've a boxed Frog Sea Vixen in the same colour plastic and got a Shackleton in the same colour last year.

Like I say, I'm tempted to hang onto it rather than build it.

I've had a couple of Frog Hunters and still have an unbuilt Frog Vampire in that blue plastic.

I've fond memories of that kit from when it first came out  ;D I remember being particularly pleased with the way it ended up, one of my better ones from way back when. Been thinking of a Polish one for the re-issue.

I know I've a couple of Frog Meteor IVs in the same colour too.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

From Monkbar Models in York:

1/72 Academy A-37B Dragonfly - Looks a nice little kit with plenty of weapons. Picked up some Humbrol maskol too.

Left a 1/72 Academy Dassault SuE and a 1/72 Italeri SM.81 Pipistrello for another day. Was thinking of turning the SM.81 into a Blackburn aircraft for the Royal Yorkshire Airforce.

A 1/48 Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk1 off EB for £27.50 including the post.  ;) :thumbsup:
All I need now is a dingy and three figures.  ;D

Swordfish arrived today, looks a great kit and it even had two tins of unopened Humbrol enamel with it so that makes the kit even cheaper.  ;D
