Anyone got their Club kits yet ? I know they should be sent out any moment...

(Side note... 100 pages !! Woot! )

I rejoined in November time and they sent me the 1/48 Me109 Club kit, so I bet I won't get the Russia Set till I rejoin again.  :banghead:

I think NARSES2 said he had his just the other day.
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I just joined the club for the first time ever, so I'm now not merely a geek, I'm a card-carrying geek with a badge..... ;D

I also can't find the large pile of empty Airfix boxes with Flying Hours on them which I remember having....  :blink: I hope it's just that I've put them in a safe place, and not that I threw them out in a fit of pique in the days when joining the club looked less attractive..... :banghead:

Yup and here's the info I posted in My stash just grew again

"My Airfix Club kits came yesterday. Someone was asking what kits they were. Well the Hurricane is the IIC boxing with a amended wing to give a IIB, the Spitfire is the current Vc boxing and the P-40 is the recently tooled P-40B.

Nice transfer sheet in the set. "
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I've been told to expect my kits at the end of the month or early part of next month. But I also get a voucher to go and buty a 2013 catalouge

Are those new scooter better than the Fujimi one?

Daryl J.

No not really in my opinion.   But to get a Benny from Fujimi is all but impossible making the Airfix kit (almost) the only game in town.

The reviews have all been positive mind you so it must be decent right ?!
