Following a tip off from Falcon (Chris P) I popped down the hill to the local Aldi and picked up a pair of Airfix Jet Provost Gift Sets for £4.99 each  :thumbsup:

I can see this doing wonders for my EKFP Total. :wacko: :thumbsup:

Chris.

2014 EKFP Total = 8
2015 EKFP Total = 6
2016 EKFP Total = 2
2017 EKFP Total = 7
2018 EKFP Total = 3

That's mildly annoying :rolleyes:
I doubt my local Aldi will have any JP's
(Possibly because I live in Germany) ;D
Still anythings possible...

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

I find drinking Rum neat to be more rewarding.

Drinking dark rum neat (or at all) 'rewards' me with horrible nightmares - every freakin' time, like flicking a switch. White rum? Fine... :unsure:

Dark rum (neat) for sipping ; Gin (with tonic and a slice of lime) for drinking  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

They did!?  :blink: Must be rare, though. Mine will have a different starting point, though, because I bought a resin turret/conversion some years ago and recently stumbled upon it. Lacked a hull, though, and with the recently procured early M60A1 aluminium wheels from Silesian models I have now (finally) a complete "Starship" model at hand.  :lol:
