Agree with Dave on the pilot, or it could have been a punishment that he was there. Any records that it actually flew ?

If it did I bet the pilot never jumped out by parachute if it went wrong…..

Both Ebay purchases at good prices!
Dave

I do like eBay..... Got the hang of waiting for the right thing to come along at a sensible if not very good price.

That was absolutely not my intention Andy. If I have offended you in any way it has been completely unintentional and I apologise wholeheartedly.

Sorry Tim, reading my comment back it seems to be aimed soley at you, which it wasn't.

The forum as a whole is rife with unsolicited "advice", which I find absolutely outrageous, no wonder it's banned on most other groups. I'm obviously in a minority though as many seem to be fine with it. I was encouraged to come back to the forum but unfortunately I can't keep turning the other cheek, so better if I just disappear into the background, rather than spoil the generally friendly atmosphere around here.

I intend to hang around as there's some great members here and amazing work to behold, far better than I could ever hope to achieve, but my autistic personality just doesn't interact with people well.

Latest Amazon bargain, a shade under £11 delivered.


However Amazon’s idea of packaging left a lot to be desired :sad:


Some crushing to the box and one cracked canopy was the result of this “robust”envelope.
Fortunately it is the closed canopy option which was damaged which I wouldn’t have used anyway, otherwise it would be going back.

I ordered the P-51 B/C Mustang Expert Set (70038) whilst we were away on holiday after your purchase, so I had it sent to my mums.......hoping it's better packed than yours!

The expert set version I ordered first was better packed so hopefully yours will be too.
I was quite shocked hen the second one turned up in what amounts to a paper bag :anguished:. Combined with Arma Hobby’s quite flimsy box I’m surprised to get away with just a cracked canopy.

I've got a set of those...... Work fine for general work but being synthetic won't just for ever without cutting at the end.
