    couldnt find much that i fancied......even worse now they dont stock airfix......so put it towards a bike ive never done

    I get a discount in Hobbycraft and still find them expensive, though I must dig out my birthday voucher from them and call in for a nosey.

      The comfort band was from HERE. They seem to sell a lot of Optivisor stuff.

            I did have that idea Jim, but casting is a dark art to me and getting the materials needed would cost more IMHO, than it would be worth. I am going to shoot a mail to AFV Taiwan as my importer here can't help. I hope you are doing well and even back at the bench too. Take care and thanks for the thought, Sir...

                I use the red and clear versions, no problems. Its very thin and in my opinion works very well

                  Hi Allen, let's just say life at the moment is as easy as a set os Dragon instructions, as regarding the dark art of resin it's not as hard or expensive as you think, it's me put his guide to resin on here, all the best Jim

                    Something I've wanted to add to the build stash for a while now. A pal of mine has one he wants building in RAF livery as his dad flew in them so will probably be a tandem build with his.

                      being trying a few 'best offers' recently - success rate is less than 1/10, tricky to post a 'best offer' that is acceptable, and not insulting!

                                I just go straight to insulting and hope for a sensible counter offer, though I noticed a while back best offer was a default setting when listing.
