Arrived from Ebay today.

I know its an innacurate old dog but its the only 1/72 around apart the the revell kit and i needed a kit that was "pre-nosejob" for a project of mine.

Long live car boot sales.I just got these two kits for the princely sum of £8.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]47012[/ATTACH] This was £5, complete apart from something called "film" which seems to be the instrument panel dials.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]47013[/ATTACH] and this is still in it's film wrap and was only £3.

The Seahawk should be fun and the Tarantula will be a painting challenge.

Tony.

Just a bout to throw some decals on my SeaHawk its a nice little kit. Remember to give it some weight in the nose.... Dont worry about the missing film. It is for the panel and to be honest, you will hardly be able to see it anyway.

Can't say i even thought about it Ian lol. Just wanted to get it as i know how much i enjoyed (mostly) building the 1/72 academy kit of this aircraft.

1/32 Trumpeter F-14B Tomcat (Bomb Cat)

Had a moment of madness in a local model shop today - god knows where I am going to put it; still breaking out in a cold sweat. Box is the size of a small suitcase. Definately a 2013 Project. Cheers Derek

I'm not saying its big Derek but if it had a clear plastic back you could use it as a coffee table in the living room. But a nice buy all the same looking forward to this build

Hi Ian, thanks for your note, I have always fancied the 1/32 Tomcat, so finally weakened when it was staring at me in the shop yesterday. In my defence I did walk past it about four times before I submitted. I built the 1/32 Trumpeter SU-27B Flanker a few years back and thats about as big as they get, so the comparison will be interestng. Cheers Derek

I wish that there was a model shop near me that would stock such a model! It is certainly on my list... one i make headway into the stash hehe.

[Guest]

I take it your location being "MK" .. thats milton keynes Chris ??? ... if so, there a modelzone in The Centre that stocks trumpeter 1/32, or there was about four years ago when i went whilst i was living in the midlands.

Chris, How about a 1:32 Trumpeter Tomcat F-14D reduced in price by 44% - a steal.

Trumpeter 1/32 F-14D Super Tomcat Model Kit - 03203 - £69.99

[Guest]

Yeah, its still there but not really any good.

Wow!!! I am so tempted for that!!! Just need the space, otherwise i would!!!

[Guest]

Sorry, yeah MK is milton keynes. I was just thrown by the absolute DEAL of the 1/32 f-14
