Well, if it's 1:1 scale & in working condition, it's a steal; if not, it's highway robbery! :blink:

Even if it's not in working condition, we can get it running again...


Those nice people at Haynes have even produced the workshop manual you need!!!

A very pricy Sea Dart, especially after reading the description:" Resin parts are subject to being brittle, cracks, occasional air bubbles". :wacko:

He could have added a few more text colours and fonts, plus done some of it in italics, to make it MORE irritating to read.......  :banghead:

He has a LONG list of excluded countries. I wonder what's the risk of receiving an bid from Svalbard and Jan Mayen, or  Tuvalu.  :rolleyes:

IIRC the Collectaire Sea Dart was in the $100 range when it was 'new'.

It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

Somebody should let this guy know this kit can be had for $10 USD. But, this one is STILL FACTORY SEALED!!! :rolleyes:

DOES NOT SHIP TO AUSTRALIA it says in big red letters.

I recently sold eight child's plastic rings bearing the logos of VFL football teams.  They were given away in breakfast cereal in 1970 and Mrs z had squirrelled them away.  They looked like this but all had different logos.

The same bidder won all eight and paid me $475 for them.
Makes that Corsair look like a bargain...

- 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.

Maybe cast in Sterling Silver? Or are there diamonds included for the landing lights?  :blink:

But it's a 'real rarity'.

The seller says so, so it must be right................  :-\

The Airfix 1/72 Valiant seems to be rocketing in price I know it was a limited edition but £80 on eBay!
I suppose just like the Airfix Nimrod the price will eventually drop. The Mach2 kit is also starting to rise as well, by adding the Alley Cat resin parts a decent model could be built.
I know that the Nimrod wing fits as I've tried that as a Whiff but never finished it.

Last time I made a fateful visit to the LHS they had one still on the shelf with a 56€ price tag. Must tell the shopkeeper that he should double the price and if anyone asks blame inflation, Brexit, or something something. ;D

Besides costing more than all the other X-32 kits currently on sale on ebay together, if you're a foreign customer he's only using International Priority Shipping through the Global Shipping Program, so the delivery costs are doubly ludicrous.

Sh!t and it's the Revell re-box too. I've got the original Italeri kit in my stash ---- wonder if that is worth anything ---  :wacko:
