[Airborne01]

Yesterday i attended the West Norfolk Ipms show in Littleport near Ely.A great variety of models and got to have a great chat with Paul Scottie Aka Scottie.Only 1 purchase for me this Bronco A13 mark 1v.Do like these early ones used in desert.Sadly i didnt realise this one only has options for Bef and Cyprus which i only found out when i studied the kit last night.Only took a couple of photos as i caught up with so many i havent seen since 2016.

How does one recognise a fellow SMF afficionado at these functions? A Masonic- type handshake, or a secret Cabalistic code word perhaps? A lapel badge may be a good idea :thinking:

“Contains B Vitamins” sounds like “Contains Second-Class Vitamins” if I’m honest … Also: “100% Vegetarian” — so are chips (if fried in vegetable oil, of course), but that doesn’t mean they’re 100% good for you.

Dude 1 Matron is on her way , though I feel there is little she can do to relieve you of this madness .Mad as a box of frogs

Andrea, Tim and Dude 2,

You know Matron cannot help me at all. I'm beyond hope!!! To justify my purchase, I offer you all proof of what I stated. A dog,


And my Caudron G.III,


The likeness is definitely unmistakable. Oh, Caudron's can't land on the sidewalk and dogs can drag it wherever they want, so there!!!...

Prost

Must have been made by this car designers great grandfather….

I'll have a look around as I'm sure I've still got a few Russian soldiers I didn't use for my T-34 dio a while back, they may be of use.. (I'm sure there was a standing one in there).

One of my favourite shops, Axminster Tools & Machinery, is closing their local branch in Nuneaton and having a sale - everything 20% off, including some stuff that's already discounted. I picked up a couple of cans of airbrush cleaner and this:
