    Starter sets at Aldi

    On the 19th November Aldi will have several Airfix starter sets at £4.99 - a Spit, Me109, Gnat, Provost, and the Cromwell tank. I expect they'll sell out quickly.

    Thanks for sharing, Peter. I picked up a couple last time they had them in. Can't help thinking they missed a trick this year - selling kits in the post-Telford slump when everyone's skint!

      Thanks I'll be there Me109s & Provosts top of my list. Hope some are new toolings as previously the P51s have been.
      Thanks for the heads up.
      I've heard from a TK Max employee that some stores have Revell kits in stock. Also Black Friday is just around the corner. So keep em peeled for the deals. Cheers John

              Are these kits any good then?
              I just remember the "starter kits", a.k.a the "cheap" kits from when I was young and they were horrible...

              I need to gather quite a few Flak and support vehicles for my upcoming 1/72 HobbyBoss Dora build and I feel lost amongst these unknown 1/72 kits...?
              If some can be bought for a fiver then that'd be grand!

                    Still make up to a nice model though..Wouldn't like to do the rigging mind!
                    Just thought I'd bring back some memories for those eejits that built this kit for 'That' G.B....

                    Bought these from Aldi today. (Other Supermarkets are available..) I've never built a Cromwell. I'll use them for a winter project in a post D. Day diorama - If the cold weather ever gets here that is!

                        Nicely detailed kit Tony think I'll be doing mine raspberry ripple colours. I'm not sure but I think it can be displayed with the canopy open.

                            I fancied a Provost, but all Stafford had left were two Cutty Sarks and a Cromwell. Doh.......
