Got this delivered today.

I had a wee look in the box, quality looks typical Tamiya but it may be a decal nightmare. Anyhoo, it will not be started for a while as I am about to start another model and I am off to the IOM TT for a couple of weeks on Friday.

Looking at the box art, I think decal nightmare is a distinct understatement!

Hi all,

So had a productive morning yesterday.....

A 5-ish minute walk to my barbers. Then a three minute walk down to the local charity bookshop......

And the route home takes me past my local model shop next to the barbers. He does mostly RC stuff but there are a few bits and pieces of use.

End result was this...... The book was only £2....

A productive stroll.

A productive stroll.

Early delivery from postie ( I was still eating my toast! )

I have a part built Tamiya Bogue escort carrier - these only carried F4F Wildcats & TBM Avengers - I couldn't find any F4F's in my stash - so the box has 6 aircraft of each type ( 4 x B-25 ), and perhaps a mistake, no less than 7 decal sheets with stars. stars & bars, and ID letters more than enough. These aren't the fancy Trumpeter transparent aircraft, just normal grey plastic - but each aircraft consists of 5 parts ( 6 for the Mitchell )

Interesting. I assume the B25 is for the Doolittle raiders?
