Few things I noticed in the Manchester Modelzone sale:

Airfix 1/48th Canberra B2s at £14.99. That's half price and they've got a lot in.

Trumpeter 1/35th M1078 LMTV truck: £29.99

Revell 1/48th JU-52 Civil version: £14.99 (half price)

Revell 1/96th Saturn V: £39.99  - Enormous!

Italeri 1/72nd AB42 Camionetta (the one with the 47mm AT gun): £6.99  - Only two left!

Revell 1/72nd F-16A/B: £5.00 - Only a few left.


That's by no means everything, just what caught my eye. If anybody wants any of these and can't get to a Modelzone, then PM me NOW because I'm going into town again tomorrow.
