- 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.

I like the sound of that.  :thumbsup:

I saw a black Charger in Bristol last week and found myself looking to see if Gibbs or DeNozo was driving........  ;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! :)

That's a nice kit McColm - from the period when AMT were making an effort.
Same era as the '66 Olds. '41 Ford, Prowler, '70 Duster and '60 Chevy ute.

I'm developing a dislike of Hobby Link Japan and their Private Wherehouse.  Just when I think i've got things under control they tempt me with another kit reduced to 700 yen and before I know it i've clicked buy and my shelf is filling up again.
Currently have 1/72 Tamiya Skyray and Mi-24 (so I can do my variation of that cuban camo) and another 1/24 Cyber Formula car awaiting a click of the "deliver" button.

From the Scottish Nationals three stash additions for Saturday

Special Hobby 1/72 SAAB A-21R
Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR3
and a kind donation from Jay Bee  a 1/72 Hobby Craft CF-105  :thumbsup: Thank-you very much indeed Jim  :thumbsup:

I also bought a couple of course sanding sticks, two 5/0 paint brushes to help paint the fine detail and a tube of Mr Hobby White Filler.

Came across a 1/24 Honda 1300  four door kit.
Looks like the Triumph 1300/1500 . Thinking along the lines of a Dolomite ,the first British built car with 16 valves. Driven by Ray Doyle in the TV series of The Professionals.
I did see a Triumph TR7, but didn't have enough funds at the time to buy it.
There is a diecast 1/43 Jaguar Lynx Eventer due to be released, a bit pricey for me !
