I got the box set too - it wasn't a bad idea to join the club for that stuff.

Some Airfix Valiants squeezed past IPMS Somalia and made it to Holborn Modelzone on Monday. £39.99.

got one here, and i paid a few quid less than that :) including postage
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I'll probably pass on the Valiant too, simply because she'll become a stash Queen.  That normally wouldn't bother me, but disposable income is at an all time low & if the Nimrod is anything to go by the price might come down.

Anybody know when the Gnat is due?  That's the release I'm itching for.
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.

Am I the only one who can see the germ of an idea for a Group Build or show display here ?  :rolleyes:

As for the Valiant. I'll pass. Bit like Mossie it will simply become a stash queen and languish. Trying to thin the stash at the moment, mind you I am waiting for the new Airfix P-40B and Zero
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

You aren't the only one. Would love one but might have to wait, unless our lass gets me one for my birthday in a few weeks!  :party:

The Wooksta!

I'd like a pair but I can wait till Xmas first.

I didnt say i didnt want one... Just i need to make space first..

Green Dragon

I should have room for one or three in the stash soon, once I've built the quad VTOL, but will have to bung some cash in the bank first.
Thinking of doing the Vulture from The Liquidator being chased by a Landrover, need to find figures of Rod Taylor, Trevor Howard and Jill St. John though!

Haven't got the room, building Spitfires anyway.  I can't lash out 40 notes on something that I won't touch for at least 6 months.

Came out the same time as the Valiant. Howard of Effingham picked up a pair at the weekend at Waddington.
