Cheers Fred   
Theres a massiveish story behing all the paints and rail bits and stuff ive scored.
Its mental really..old gent passes away in 2019 ..he collected HO trains ..spending upwards of 2 grand aweek on em and paints everything else aswell..like buildings and the like.
This is where the mental stuff happens..the family contact Colin ( owner of Stocker Models son who now runs the store) about buying it all.as Stockers buys collections.
Well Col does..no idea on price..its in Rotorua..a fare trip from his home ..Col grabs his 16ft long which is about 5ft deep..it will hold a Ford Cortina sized car with no problems.
3 trips later he has it all..fully loaded trailer and his Toyota Landcruiser too.
He told me he had to move 15 banana boxes full of trains just to get a few feet deeper into the room..ive seen the pics he took and its totally nuts.
We are taking thousands apon thousands of trains here and that was like 3 months ago they got this lot and they still havent sorted it all out yet.

I bet they havent even thought about cataloguing it either to give them an idea of what they have

An unexpected hit at ev!lbay: some time ago I was able to hunt down an incomplete vintage mecha kit, an 1:144 "Run-Valam" from the Megaro-Zamac kit series frim the Eighties (which was not tied to an anime series, just quite bizarre robot bizarre models), and built it "realistically". And now I was able to shoot another one - it was originally on sale for EUR 45,- p.p., complete and in very good condition. After a while I received an offer from the seller, and I was then able to negotiate a price of just EUR 30,- p.p., and I just could not say "no" to this.  No plans for it, sinmce I have a completed one in my mecha collection - it was just a great occasion (internationally, these things are on sale for EUR 75,- and more, but that' nonsense). I might just re-sell it in the future.

Recent delivery from Poland... I was thinking i'd never be able to find one at a reasonable price and then AZ reboxed the kit... i may have to buy another one or two...
Also received a couple of Xtradecal X72158 1/72 RAF and RN White letters and numbers for several future projects.



EDIT: Forgot to mention that on order is the Eduard 1/48 Mustang Mk.IV Profipack, another RS 1/72 P-51H and the Hasegawa F-2A KAI with CFT tanks (limited edition kit).

Yup, exactly. there were a couple of the original Mk.32 kits on ebay but for prices that i won't pay for this kit but now, it's available again at an average price.

What does Wooksta say about it's accuracy?

What does Wooksta say about it's accuracy?

If memory serves it has issues. 

I've built a couple from the initial release and it's not the easiest of builds, but providing you take your time it goes together ok.

[The Wooksta!]

What does Wooksta say about it's accuracy?

It's better than their Spiteful. Cockpit interior is spurious, the intake behind the prop needs something behind it as it's see through. The undercarriage is wrong, with Mustang style legs.   Canopy is a bit Meh.

The plastic is for the 32, so if you want a 31, just fill the wing fold lines.
