Remember, the Early Learning Centre Meerkat Pup heads are perfect for 1/35th figures ;D ;D

Rad what do you do with the bodies ???

Ebay and Frog Hornets.  Only if they're under a certain price.  There's still a few on there but the start price is a tenner and that's above my limit.  Not worth that and neither is the MPM/Special Hobby one either.  I want to get rid of the few I have left.

Meerkats and a couple of dinosaurs.

Meerkat bodies go with all the others under the patio.
The ones with blood go into Mid's crypt.

You want to put a zip in that patio, make life a lot easier  ;D

Testors 24th metal body kit of the Jaguar XK8 Coupe.  Will sit nicely with the Tamiya Aston Martin DBS.  It comes prepainted, so tht'll have to go. Wine red metallic, I think, or perhaps red?

From the Samaritans via ebay:

Revell 1/72nd AH-1W Super Cobra. Tentative plan is to give it a four-bladed rotor and an armoured canopy (why don't USMC Cobras have the armoured canopy like the Army ones?)

Revell 1/144th Rafale M. Came with the above for a very reasonable price. Will probably sell it.

Probably because no self-respecting bullet wouldn't DARE go anywhere near a USMC Cobra pilot........  ;D :lol:

Isn't it a mandatory requirement that  cars like these have to be British Racing Green?..........but wine red metallic (a nice cabernet or merlot colour)   sounds attractive.

I've seen the wine red metallic on an Aston Martin DB7 and it looks fab, whilst there's an XK8 on Tyneside in bright red that looks cool too.  However, the DBS is going either white or Vertigo Blue Metallic.

DB9s seem to be either black or BRG, and whilst it's a nice colour, I don't think it really fits with modern cars.  E Types  and MGs, yes.

And WHY didn't I get that Austin Healey in the kitswap at Telford?

It's got to be one of the  RAF/RN  "agressor" joint  training squadron;  the "Boscombe Bandits"
