The Wooksta!

I thought buying one off ebay would be easier - and less fattening - than eating my way through the half dozen or so boxes of fish fingers to get the tokens I'd need.

Anyway, I've just won that ebay auction flagged last week for the 39 Spitfires.  £57 plus post.  £65 for 39 Spitfires?  works out at less than £2 each which is a bargain in anyone's book.  Even the rubbish kits will be useful for spares.

It's quite easy to get through seeming tons of Fish Fingers when you have hoardes of anklebiters to feed!

I thought you might go for the super Spit listing - that's why I didn't bid on it!!

It was too good to pass up, even though there's a lot of junk in there - 8 Revell Vbs for a start!  Although it's salvageable with a new wing and I'm planning on moulding a load of wings later in the year.

From Ebay.... All 1/144th scale (a diversion from my normal 1/72nd monopoly)


CROWN Mitsubishi G4M1 Type 1 'Betty' impulse buy at £1.20 and was impressed by the detail so started grabbing some more minatures...

Minicraft Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien 'Tony'
Mincraft Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero
Minicraft Aichi B7A2 Ryusei 'Grace'........ £5.25 for all three

Hasegawa Kawasaki Ki-45 Kai Hei Toryu 'Nick'
Hasegawa Nakajima J1M1-S Gekko 'Irving'
Hasegawa Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu 'Helen' ......  £10.35 for the three

Mitsuwa Nakajima B6N Tenzan 'Jill' .....£2.30

Can you see what it is yet....?  Yes I'm back into a Japanses WWII phase again and I do like these 1/144th kits so if any one wants to get rid of any 1/72nd or 1/144th scale Japanese let me know.

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

depending on how cheaply you can get them?
You have hitted me with a black box- I'm not playing this game!.........

I had performed a shopping serch on Google for Airfix Valient and it came up with either a site or a list of the cheapest kits available. When the box arrived I noticed that the from lable belonged to Model Hobbies and includeing P&P was a very very nice price.
