I think this seller is a little optimistic with his pricing

I can't even begin to get my brain around that. I just assume the transfer option is a sought after one ? Otherwise I'm just totally baffled  :o

The decals are not exceptional, the only somewhat unusual options are for the two Italian options, single and two seater's and the Venezuelan option and seeing that it's an Italeri kit it should have been quite readily available.

Or you go direct to the decal makers at http://www.dacoproducts.com/ and pay 13 Euro to have the decals sent from Belgium. The kit is another 13 Euro or less. That's half the price.

Or you just get this one  :wacko:  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Italeri-1271-F-16-A-B-Fighting-Falcon-1-72-plastic-scale-model-kit-/182784793206?hash=item2a8ed29a76:g:ZxcAAOSw2gxYsd~c

I don't normally get to involved in this but there are a couple of Hasegawa releases on Hannant's "New Releases" page this week I just don't understand ?  :blink:

Firstly a 1//72 Avenger for £69.99 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HA00984 I'm sure there's only one kit in the box ?

And then a 1/72 Marlin for "only" £56.99 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HA02246

Am I missing something ? Especialy re the Avenger price ? It doesn't bother me as I'm not particularly interested in either, but it just throws me  :o If they were the other way around I might understand, but a Mariner cheaper than an Avenger ?

On the same pages A-Model and Avis have a couple of small civil jobs that will probably interest a few. A CMC Leopard I and II, and a Fantrainer.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That really is stupid, especially the Avenger, are they blind as well as stupid?

I ordered the Leopard already, but missed the Fantrainer.   :banghead:

That's a neat looking aircraft with bags of Whiffing scope.

I thought of you and a couple of others when I saw it  ;) No real interest to me but I did order the new "Claude"

- 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.

Over £40 for an aircraft that will fit into the palm of my hand? Got me be crazy!  :banghead:

In the fairly  recent Lindberg material from B&M, I got 2 for £1!!

There is a single (as in one only) Airfix 1/32 paratrooper for £10. Are they really that rare? I don't know much about that area but £10?

I saw the first item in this topic was the Frog 1/24 Bloodhound. I saw one in the 1970s in the window of a building company! Why they wanted that as office decoration, I don't know.......
If this is Upper Silesia, one can only wonder what Lower Silesia is like.

I don't remember that one, but I did build the French Grenadier, Lancer and Lifeguard. Back then they were nice and more importantly a cheaper introduction to 54mm figure painting. If I'm honest £10 is not that bad to my mind.

Hasegawa again.

A double boxing of the Me 262 V.056 and B-1a/U1. In 1/72 and all yours for £52.99 ???! Meanwhile the Airfix new tool, a splendid kit, is £12.99.
