Tucano is the latest boxing: one black/yellow scheme, one red/white/blue.

Also, I forgot to put that I've got an Italeri Hawk 100 and an Airfix Hawk 127 to spare as well.

I shouldn't really but......is the F20 still available.....?
BODY,BODY....HEAD..!!!!

IF YER HIT, YER DEAD!!!!

Snowtrooper

Hmm. Testors B-2.

Even if a miracle happened and I happened to build it, there is no practical way to display a 1/72 B-2 anywhere. However, it does have those delicious AGM-69 SRAM shapes, the only ones of their kind in that scale and in styrene (ignoring Ozmods resin copies thereof). Oh well, postage to Finland would probably kill the idea even if it was possible to package it to weigh under the magic 2kg limit. Or would it?

Of course, if someone else here would like to have the rest of the kit but still be willing to part with the SRAM's...

It's under 2kg but bigger than the Royal Mails 'Small Parcel' so it has to go with the extortion service ParcelForce. Let me check out some courier options.

I am interested in a Neptune and an Orion possibly.  How much?

£35 the pair + £2.50 towards the postage and paypal fees ? Is that reasonable



Two large kits to Australia ? you may take a loss on that   :o

Oh dear didn't realise he was a colonist. Hope he hasn't read the post  ;D

Too late!  Hehehehehe!  What is your PayPal account name?    :wacko: :wacko:


Unbelieveable ! Royal Mails ParcelForce 'Global Value service' for an under 2kg parcel outside of the Royal Mails minimum 90cm circumference is..... £52.65

I can get an independent courier to do it for £20.35 (though not insured). Make it £50 all in and they're yours.

Fifty quid is a bit steep.  Sorry.    How about just the Neptune?

Frustrating isn't it. To send the Neptune by Airmail comes in at £14.05 which doesn't make sense really two kits together (and over their size limit) £50+ but you could send the two individually for £28 ! What a way to run a business. Anyway if you want just the Neptune lets say £30 all in.

There is one other option - going by sea estimated 84 days for delivery thats £8.50. If you can wait that long call it £24.

I thought they'd stopped the surface mail service?  I'd wait that long.  It would make the eventual arrival of the kit a nice surprise.

Marlins.  Are they Hasegawa?
I fancy one I think and as I have a kit mule coming out in August it won't have to take a cruise.  Combien sil vous plait?

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I'm asking £20 for the Marlin and surface mail to the land of Oz is £8.50  (84 days ! still got 500+ models to make but I couldn't wait that long to put it on the pile !)

So if you are interested PM your details.

Nope surface mail is still offered by Royal Mail. I assume it's by sea but you never know given there's now a freight rail service between the UK and China.

The last kit I sent to you by surface went by air anyway, given the time it took. Royal Mail must have felt sorry for it  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Have to say its a big kit the box is 50x30x10cm and actually that is spot on the Royal Mail limit. So with only internal packing and a brown paper outer this could go for £8.80 Air mail. A Courier if you want it sturdly boxed on the outside would cost £14.00.

Plus I would like £30 for the kit seeing as its going for between £45 and £60 on evil bay.

Let me know how you feel.

Sorry, it appears SWMBO has decreed, "no more kits!"  I am sorry to have wasted your time, mate.  I'd like a Neptune but it appears other people have other plans for my hard earned sheckels...   :banghead:
