Sorry, I meant "I want a 1/72 but a 1/48 is ok"

They never got around to a new B.2 in 72nd.

Hobbes, the new L1011 is coming from Eastern Express. They say they are doing the whole family, the first box art released was a Pan Am -500 but the first test shot seen was a -1/-100 length fuselage.

Depending on price I may get the 1/48 Canberra repop, I'd rather a smaller one but based on a couple of hand-me-down 1/72 builds 1/48 may not be too big for me.

You might be interested to know that High Planes at my urging is repopping it's 1/72 B20 and RB57D kits. Both are quite reasonable limited run injection moulded models Zac.

I like you. Airfix and my bank account do not.

I've only ever built one High Planes kit, but that was some time ago and my skills have improved, so I may have to do it! They do have some subjects I'd like to build.

Ah, ya see, postage was always a problem when it came to buying any sale items of them.

Be careful though, your house could end up being like a sorting office!

(Airfix sales, UK only Ebay wins!

What makes you think it isn't already?....

Weaver, my friend, I'd like to take advantage of your freight forwarding services! PM inbound.

Airfix have added LOADS of new lines to the Black Friday sale, although the discounts on the new stuff are rather less impressive than the first batch. Still worth having though!

My previous offer re international shipping still stands BTW. If multiple people from the same country want some stuff, it might be an idea to liase so that I could send one parcel then have you split it up when it gets there.

I bought just over £30 worth of stuff to get the free postage.....i know I'm gonna regret not getting a 1/48 Merlin....i just know it.....

The Airfix Advent Calendar is back. Day 2: "RAFBF Hawk 'Design a Hawk' Scheme 1:72 only £5.99 for one day only!"

Yesterday was "What's on your wishlist from Airfix?", a competition to ask Airfix for any one of their current kits to be sent to you before Christmas. Lots of folks on another forum went straight for the 1/24 Mosquito, I said the Shackleton...I JUST beat the deadline for entries!

Well that's big of them: the Design-a-Hawk Hawk has been in their Last Chance to Buy collection at £5.99 for about a year now...

Nice to see it back but I suspect this year its going to be used clearing stuff on offer and plugging new kits rather than cryptic clues for new unannounced kits.
