VERY ENVIOUS or what?!!
Been after that exact kit for a little while,reminds me of my childhood.... the 1955 commissioned ship was anchored for years in the late 70s in my home town of Plymouth.She was a standing,(Or should that be "Floating"?!!:tears-of-joy: ),feature moored,awaiting scrapping,just up the river Tamar from Devonport Dockyard.Used to stand and stare at her whilst fishing from pontoons with my dad.:nerd:...... Sorry...... reminiscing over!!!

You may well have seen these advertised on various TV channels.
Rach decided to buy me a set without me knowing,apparently she was "Fed up with me freaking her out" whilst wandering around the house with my optivisor on my head..... she reckons i looked like some sort of mad professor from an old black and white movie!!:flushed:
Anyway,they arrived today,and i must admit they`re rather nice,and with the two little LEDs,very useful.......i really recommend them.......

They look nice there Mr. Smiff....I take it when the LEDs get dim, you plug the cable into the back of your head to give 'em more juice...Or??? What's the magnification on them Andy???...

My trigger finger has been at it again.......Dang evilbay, but I did get 2 kits I have always wanted plus one that just looked cool............


The recovery set is for my Famo and I've been after it for a long time. The MB kit just looked cool and has a mo'cycle too. The other kit I've always wanted was this,


Dragon re-boxed this and the title is a bit misleading. You get the 4 figs, tables, tools and folding stool, but you get 2 complete Maybach engines for the Sd.Kfz. 250. The box says engine, but should say engines......In my defense, I have 3 kits in evilbay for sale..........
