- 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.

Thanks Lee but all I needed was the u/c and canopy so that I can finish the Boeing Firefox that I got from Martin.  :cheers:

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

That's what the hat's for: stops it getting caught around his neck....  ;)

Test fit EVERYTHING on that kit: do not even trust the pegs: some of them are out of line....

Yeah, I have to lever the thing off The Hat's brim, almost every day!  ;)
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! :)

I had a horrible suspicion that it would be the kit you used before. However there are two mitigating factors:
1/ It was dirt cheap, £3.95.
and
2/ I have a cunning plan for it that should make any problems like fit, etc., irrelevant.

No not really. It is more likely a slight synaptic failure. Possibly caused by the couple of doses of fermented, red, muscle relaxant that I had after the drive to and from Perth. The return trip being partly through some really heavy hail showers.

From the Melbourne Hobby Shop that appears incapable of reconciling it's physical stock with what it's website thinks is on it's shelves, a second 1/25 AMT Meyers Manx.  This one the Elvis version.  Moulded in a gaudy yellow (unlike the first one I bought which is moulded in a gaudy translucent metalflake purple).
One will be done in camo (Gorillaz album cover).  The other might be done as Speed Buggy.

Won off eBay 1/72 M & E Spitfire two seat conversion T8/9 and Matchbox Spitfire .
Thinking of using the conversion with a Revell 1/72 Sea Hurricane, just need to find a pair of floats.

The Wooksta!

You got that one?  Spotted it but didn't bother as I thought the price was too high for what it is.  That and I've about half a dozen anyway...
