Absolutely, don't waste postage on it.

Mind you, people will wonder what the devil we are up to swapping just ONE Airbus wing.........  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Whoops, shouldn't somebody have mentioned the 2nd hand kit dealers and the undertable stash sales that are common at the model shows ?  :thumbsup:.

Its a brave man to state beforehand that they wont buy any kits at a show, unless they don't take any cash, as occasional something does pop up and scream "Buy Me !" that you just weren't expecting to see !!!.

An excellent show, at all levels apart from the L shaped stand we were allocated, thus limiting the number of chairs we could have behind it. Me, a conspiracy theorist? Nah...........

Other interesting news filed under 'A Model' but I'll leave you with this absolute plonker. Does anyone actually THINK any more???

Very good day out - good show, great to see the guys and some top bargains to be had.
Oh, and seeing OGL's and NARSES 2's jaws drop in total disbelief as a punter was being conviced of the authenticity of a certain model on display.
And the Spitfire XII of course!
Next stop Hendon.

Sigh - try parking a motorcycle in a designated, signposted and cross-hatched motorcycle bay that's next to 500+ car bays, at least 1/4 of which are empty. Seems like having 99% of the car park for themselves isn't enough for some people at least 30% of the time..... :rolleyes:
