Not as much as I regretted TRYING to build the Airmodel vacform of the same aircraft over many, MANY years!

If anyone is in the Carlisle area, go to Houghton Hall Garden Centre, just off M6 junction 44

The model shop in the basement has two  VERY LARGE  ,baskets full of half price or less Airfix.  £7.50 for a Fokker Friendship,  £3 for  gladiators , devastators, PE2s' typhoons  and many more. There are even some £4 starter kits if you fancy rally cheap whiff material. My stash hasn't grown yet, but it will on Monday when I go back.

I might even go totally wild and spend£9 on a Japanese anime model based on TSR2.

If you get there before me, leave a few for me, please!

A what?  :unsure:


One of these:




Basically, it's a 3-wheeled LSR-style car from some sort of racing game, complete with motor and battery system. Apparently, it has a "streamlined body for miracle running" and has a "running shaft on it's back side". Now you know as much as I do. As far as I'm concerned, it has "spaceship" written all over it, and it was dirt cheap...... :wacko:

I particularly like the faux-Tamiya boxing, complete with red and blue squares with white things in them.... :rolleyes:

Two Airfix Chipmunks (for which I have devious plans.....) and a Revell Ta-154 Moskito, for which I have no plans as yet, but I'm sure something wil come to me, all three from deathjester, top man.

Plus he included a vast amount of other odds and ends that I'm sure will come in handy for something or another.  :lol:
