      Don't know what Merit kits are like Peter, but how about this Tank Transporter with Tank, which is from that same ebay site that rickoshay posted.


      Just a suggestion.

        I have my eye on two Academy Phantoms he is selling....so it's probably just as well I won't be at model club on Monday or I'd end up buying one........or both!
        On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
        Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.

          He has a 1/32 Bronco that I like........ But I'm not sure I want to part with £55.00 .......... and a MKIV Tadpole tank. If he brings that I may have it.

              One is the Da Nang version that you are doing despite my reservations regarding the fit issues you have run into.

                  The other was the Academy USN version or a basic Vietnam camo version, I don't recall. I really ought to do the Hasegawa RAF one I have in the loft first.

                      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..........


                      [ATTACH]127976[/ATTACH]


                      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 ??????
                      I recently bought the Profipack and the royal class as well. What I plan on doing is to correct the wing span on the profipack, and if that works out, do the rest for the royal class

                        Well finding a spare £90 you did not know you had could be all or at least most of the cost of one of the 1/32 Tamiya WW2 'superkits' - the Mosquito is being released this week in the UK but would cost you a fair chunk more on top, but then there are the Spitfires, Mustangs, Corsairs and Zeros to choose from that are not much more than the £90 and some might even be picked up cheaper off eBay.

                          Thanks Barry ........ I think I'm going to take a look at IPMS this evening then make a decision.
