Tank-on-tank vs. an A7V? When did that happen?

It doesn’t quite show that, of course — it’s a St. Chamond passing by a burning A7V, nothing says one knocked out the other

The stash needs another Lightning, or two!! I have a plan to build a couple of early Lightnings, not sure which this one will be, either. . .

F1 XM137 of the Air Fighting Development Squadron whose role it was to work up Britain's first supersonic interceptor to operational readiness ahead of the adoption of the Lighting F1 to 74sqn at RAF Coltishall

or. . .

P1b XA847, an early pre production aircraft and first British aircraft 'unofficially' capable of 1000mph, but not having the fuel capacity to transit through reciprocal flights in order to satisfy FAI rules to be accepted as a world record

Time to kick start the hobby.......if I can

I'm so out of practice I've given some thought to my first few new kits

And so I got these.....done the honda at least 4 times over the years so I know it's straight forward.......which I need so I can rebuild confidence

My name is Andrew.....

...yep you can guess where this going!!

In most cases no major bargains this time but I did get some minor discounts on some of these.

The one exception are the paints and Airfix Spit...thanks to a shop voucher, a £16 purchase cost only £11!

Oh and see if you can spot the outlier in what's below!


Lee Drennen - have a looksee at what I have bought....sad thing is the national UK craft retailer I got them from keeps throwing vouchers at me and so I think I have all the smaller 1/72 wingy kits they do!! :smiling5:

BattleshipBob - further to your email (I'll reply at some point today)......below are some recent purchases

Awesome haul Andrew I just received my Value packs in the mail this week. You did good grasshopper. I’ll post later of my haul this week.

[Steve-the-Duck]

There's a rumour out there about a Spanish Civil War GB, so...



But like I need an excuse to get a kit that gives me the option to do ten different licensed sub-variants of a Vickers 'E'. I'm already up to six-or-seven with Polish ones...

The Higgins boat is a nice kit, you should enjoy that one!

Few hours at a toy fair I came home with these three

Found in a charity shop this morning

[A_J_Rimmer]

Not really worth taking pictures as the boxes are knackered but I picked up two second-hand Academy 1/72 P-51's over the weekend - a B/C and a D. I also received my Airfix club box with my club kit as well.

You’ll like those Dave. Blackened bronze is my go to underpaint for most yellow metals.
