lol more like to remind me that the idea is that I bank with them, not the other way round.

Tamiya 1/700 Z-class destoyers - One will be HMS Nonsuch (Z-38) and the other i will look to do a Type 15 conversion.

Arggghh - that guy in front of the stage at Bolton with all the books and magazines had an old (yellow) Navy Newswith an article on Type 15s and a damn great diagram. Meant to mention it to you but forgot....sorry!


I was restrained at the Bolton Show, not knowing where the next pay packet's coming from:

Airfix 1/72nd Skyvan, still sealed, for a very reasonable price right at the end of the day,

Plasticart 1/72nd Su-7, mostly for nostaligia value since I remember doing one as a kid, but of course, it has whiffing potential,

Some packs of white metal accessories from Wee Freinds: 1/76th steering wheels, 1/72nd 0.50 cal ammo boxes and 1/72nd 0.30 cal ammo boxes.


The rest of it was tools and supplies: thick CYA, canopy glue, Tamiya tape, clear plasticard, sanding sticks, sculpting tools and paint brushes (inc. two 10 x 0.... )

Total less than £40: not bad given that I could have walked away with a couple of hundred quid's worth of books alone...

i do know exactly how much martin's resin HS-125 cost. it was BL***Y expensive, but very, very nice.

very good too to meet a wide selection of the gang, especially chrisonord, I-H-G and dork the kit slayer.

[Dork the kit slayer]

Splashed out £2.95 on this ,great wiffing fodder . Didnt even have to break in the white fiver.

The look I got off Martin ....................well best described as pitying. Mind you he had just spent a kings ransom on ......................just about the whole shop. ( see above post)




The only downside I see on these re releases is the absence of the display stand.

[Mossie]

Airfix/JB Models 1/76 Alvis Saladin, Monk Bar Models in York.  First of the year!

[pyro-manic]

Got an ebay win in the post today: AZ Models Spitfire Mk.18. Looks lovely on the sprues. I'll probably do it in either a desert or arctic scheme. Or maybe USAF.

[wacek85]

OH-58 Kiowa Warrior 1:35 in order to modify it into OH-58 AVX with coaxial rotors and twin fans on tail Maybe in polish markings

Oh....good buy sir....!!!!! Where's the green face smillie....

[The Wooksta!]

Best of luck cleaning up the bits that make up the rotorhead assemblies.  I gave up on mine.

The ESCI BMW M1 I won on ebay has arrived from the US.  I've a feeling I bought that Provence Moulage Aston Martin DB7 from the same guy last year and that took about six weeks.

Club night and I was given two spitfires.  One was the Italeri abortion of a mk IX, so that was donated to a mate who likes Spitfires and isn't quite as picky - he'll reduce it to spares.  The other was the 70s snapfit Mk Ia so that's me happy.
