Hobbycraft sale 2019

[Nick]

Hobbycraft are holding a Black Friday Sale on selected model kits. I noticed last night that most Revell and some Airfix kits are reduced by 50%.
Saw the Revell Lancaster, Hunters, Twin Otter, 1/32 Spitfire and the Star Wars kits included.

I came home with a pair of Star Wars Snowspeeders. Just £3 each!

Ooooooooh, Hunters at 50% off? I'll take a dozen!

I'll be in Glos. tomorrow too.

I know, at £10 each they are excellent value at the moment. It begs those age old questions....."How many Hunter kits does a modeller need?" or "How many Hunter kits is enough?" !

All I'll say is that you'd better get there before Mike McEvoy  He'd bought at least a half dozen at Telford on the Friday afternoon before the show had even opened

There's two he won't get as I picked up the only two Hunters in the Gloucester Hobbycraft today, and a V-2 rocket as well. 

I didn't even know Revell did one of the latter, but it looks pretty good.

Special Armour re-box.  It's better than the Condor kit I've got, which isn't bad itself but I've been coveting a few more.  At £6 I'm sure I could stretch, hope they've got some in store as they're sold out online.

Ahah, thanks for that.

The Gloucester store has a double pile of them that reached to above my knees!

If you really need one I could whizz back and get a few........

[Mossie]

Thanks Kit, I should be able to make the Hull store tomorrow, if they don't have any I'll bear you in mind.

Just come back from the Stockport store. Bit disappointing really, 'cos most of the things they actually had were the same things that I stocked up on last year and havn't touched, so I was much more restrained. The things I really wanted were the small modern armour: the T-55M and the M-109G, but they hadn't got either.

Got:

1/144th Space Shuttle
1/72nd V-2
1/241st Millenium Falcon

Looked at but decided against:

1/72nd Bandai X-Wing for £15
1/600th USS Enterprise for £17.50

Did have a nice chat with the Polish(?) girl behind the counter who was thrilled to see a Millenium Falcon kit at an affordable price even if it is tiny, so I think they'll be selling another one shortly...

Got a V2 and a Lancaster from mine

[PR19_Kit]

We look to be well on the way for a V-2 GB here next year. 

[tigercat]

Funnily enough I was thinking something very similar.

[NARSES2]

I wouldn't have thought there's much you could get wrong with a V2 ? I know what you mean however 

Maybe I should make the hours trip on 3 buses to my nearest branch and get one ? Then I could build it as the one that we were always told as kids had made our favourite bombsite playground   

[Mossie]

Picked two V-2's up from the Hull shop, thanks for standing by Kit.

Also got an X-Wing and a Millennium Falcon for the kids.

The Revell kit has much better detail, the Condor kit is a bit chunky and basic.  That being said, they're both almost identical in shape and proportions, although there are slight differences in the size of the launch platforms and the Revell kit has an extra tow trailer.
