I remember building one in 72nd when I was a kid as well Alan. It is one of those kits I have wanted to build again for a long time. Got this sent from the States as it was cheaper even with postage than what they go for over here.

I built the same one in the Monogram box at age 12 - had awful trouble with the booms & it ended up stuffed with bangers! My childhood way of disposing with failed builds!Comment

Hahaha like your style patrick. Funny that I once did something to a friends action man helo only it was from a seventh floor balcony. it was one those ones that had a little motor so the blades went round. For some unknown reason it crashed and burnt. So did my backside when my folks found outComment

I picked these up on a recent stop over at Snetterton on the way back from Great Yarmouth this week, me and my friend went over to Hannants for a wander round as well, its nice to see so many models but its not a discount place so the majority of kits are all full price if not more. The Model Expo at Snetterton was a nice find, the Dragon 88 has way more to it than the Tamiya one including a metal barrel which I was after

Lvpscalemodels:
This is my first time Ive bought some model kits on car boot sale. Every time Ive heard that people easly buying whole lots on car boot sales I was wondering if thats true. Finally today there were lots of them. Ive seen two Airfix large scale airplanes but they were in bad condition, cheap thou. Keep scanning your local sales and will finally find some
I must also say that I dont believe in models from charity shops. Have never seen even a small one. It must be a myth!Comment

at those prices it would have been stupid to walk away from them, its worth just for the feelgood factor of scoring a bargain.....6 kits at £1.50 each! proper bargain!Originally posted by \Apache £2 Revell box set £5 Halftrack £2

Car boot sales I visit every week and also charity shops and I can go for weeks without seeing anything at all model related but every now and then come across a few there are no guarantees you will see any at all but like the old saying goes you gotta be in it to win it and mainly I go for the exercise and I love looking at junk lol anyways good hunting everyoneComment
