two of the new 1/72 airfix supermarine spitfire 22's were on the shelf at antics coventry this morning
when i went in. they are not now! isn't it a nice kit!?!  ;D

btw, i may have the putnam book on supermarine aircraft, but someone must know why the clear sprue has two
rear parts to it on it. i don't. the reason isn't immediately obivious.

Open and closed. One's more bevelled to sit better over the fuselage when opened.

How many!  :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Im just settling for the 3 that arrived from Hannants yesterday.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

And I've got one, plus a new Airfix Gnat, on 'hold' at my other daughter's shop as a Father's Day pressie. Naturally she's in charge of the models section at Boswells in Oxford.  ;) ;D
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

How did you get that lot home ?  :blink:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Steel Penguin

from the toy fair at the nec
a 1:48 tracked rapier from ASAM
a second hand capatin scarlet car, need repainting
and a pair of artics, 1 in 1:50 and the outher i think in 1:60th. secnery and use in wargaming. 
I was looking for  a SHADOW mobile but evan the second hand scrappers were going for 35 pluss and the new in box ones were 300+  :unsure: madness.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Mr.Creak

Just came across these while getting some groceries:





Both listed as "193 mm long" (about 1/100?) and no manufacturer that I can see.
There was also a P-51 Mustang. Includes (crappy) paintbrush, 4 pots of paint (red, blue, green & black) and stick-on "decals".
OTOH for £2.99...

Sprue shots:





As you can see the MiG-29 actually IS a Fulcrum, not an MFI 1.44 Flatpack as the box shows.

Trench-like panel lines, a finish to the plastic that would be better on an AFV with cast armour, but dirt cheap and despite having solid cockpits I reckon they're suitable fodder for WHIFfing projects; shouldn't be too hard to replace the cockpit and canopy.

Found in B&M (Bargain Madness) if you're going to look.
What if... I had a brain?
