    What to buy next ?????

    I find myself in the fortunate position where I have £ 90 in my paypal account ....... I need to buy something. Normally, I wouldn't spent "Big Bucks" on a kit but .........This caught my eye........


    BF109 G royal edition.


    Kit contains 2 x Eduardo 1/48 kits , 2 sets of brassin resin parts , 2 sets of photo etch , 2 sets of masking , decals for I think 18 schemes . Beer glass , beer mat , real piece of a downed BF109 mounted on a plaque..........

    Is it worth £ 60.00 ???? ...........


    The other thought is maybe a "Long Arse" build ......... Maybe HMS Victory or KGV or HMS Hood .............


    A proper Dilemma ??????

    Why not get the Airfix 1/24 Typhoon? That's £75 at Wonderland Models & John might be able to price match?


    Or find a bit more moolah & get one of the Trumpeter 1/16 T-34s

        I'd say yes it's worth it , if I was still building wingy things I'd go for one


        My argument for spending big on kits is what enjoyment can you get today for £60 and it take you weeks

            The Typhoon doesn't really appeal ........... The Hobby Boss 1/16 T34 is a possible ....... I found one for £55.00

              1/16 Chieftain sounds interesting.

                      On a serious note I love the idea of that special Eduard kit with real plane bits

                        He is open to offers on it ..... But having thought about it........ I don't really need a Beer Glass, Coaster and a chunk of a BF109.

                              I might just do that Rick ............ I've just seen the Meng 1/35 - T90A ......... I built the Meng STS Tiger and that was a superb kit............ I'll have a look at what Jan has, and if nothing sparks my interest, then I think the T90A is the way forward ............ John also has a M198 Howitzer in the shop for a good price. I want one to tow behind the Hillbilly Gun Truck I have.
