    If you’d gone another ten miles South East from Midsomer Norton you could have also investigated the Frome model centre Steve. It’s well worth a visit if you are up that way again.....

      I buy from him online every so often. Unfortunately to little time and too much to do. Hoping to be around Warminster in July (Lockdown permitting) so I will pop in then. Many thanks

        Have fun in Warminster. It’ll be difficult, but I’m sure it can be done if you try hard Steve :tongue-out3:

          Wooden deck, railings & anchor chain for my Zvezda 1/350 Varyag.
          I ordered this on 22nd May, delivered today ( 1st ) just over £12 - nice! I bought it via AliExpress - I've bought some electronics from them in the past, but this is my first model related purchase, and it may not be the last!
          No benchtime for the last few days, I've been off colour ( diabetes related ), and spent a lot of time flaked out on my settee!

              Dave,
              Have also used this site before - be careful of the "resin" figures that some stores offer - they are not all that brilliant,
              some can be like the old Airfix 32nd scale figures in that soft vinyl.

              Paul.

                Paul,
                loads of knock-off resin busts as well! - They even use the genuine makers pictures! really cheeky! :disappointed2:
                Gearbest are similar to AliExpress, but concentrate more on electronics. One to be wary of is 'Wish' - I reckon 90% of their stuff is copies, knock offs, or just plain dodgy!

                  My last two pressies showed up yesterday. I would say I was good to myself and I'm a happy camper to boot. Got the Ju-88 A1,

                  The box bottom looks like it got run over by a cross town bus, but the parts are not damaged at all,

                  Of course, for the wing thingies I've bought lately, I needed to have some accessoires for them,

                      Unfortunately Tim, there is nothing offered like that around here where I live. If there was, my rucksack is not big enough to go and pick up the kits to bring back home that I want to build anyway. It's hard when you ride a bicycle..............
