- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Current prices for Revell 72nd Hunters  25 notes?  Ian from Kits for Cash had 7 at that price.  He's having a giraffe, right?

Just flogged one on EBay for £10.50, guy obviously got a bargain  ;D Got a couple of bagged ones I don't want, so £25 less the box ? Daft price
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Which reminds me I have an Italeri Z in The Loft, but what could you Whiff that into, it already is one!?
Simply remove one fuselage and make a four or five engined asymmetric bomber by keeping the wing next to the fuselage normal  ;D
Tophe would love it
I do love this idea (that I discover only today sorry - with the search engine on "asymmetric"). And here it comes, with a double-half-twin to complete:

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

An "Antique" shop in Tewkesbury yesterday was  looking for £65  for an Airfix Saturn 5  in a very tatty box, labelled "part assembled"  and £20 for a poly bag of glue-stained pieces and the torn remains of the Airfix Skyvan box.

Optimistic??

Yes, those guys have NO idea what they're 'dealing' with.

A similar place here was trying to sell an Airfix 747 for £30 for months, despite me suggesting that he pay ME the £30 to take it off his hands!  ;D On a whim I took a Revell 747-400 kit in to show him, complete with its £13 price sticker, and his face was a picture.  ;)

The Airfix 747 hasn't been seen since............

That same one was under auction a few months ago, for the same starting price. It didn't sell then either............
