    Nice One. I have been after one for a while, but way to silly in the price ticket range!

    As for your question. No Idea. lol

        You were lucky to get those Spitfires. My local Martins had no idea about the offer. What are you planning to do with them?

                Will have to try one of these 'superkits' myself.Tamiya kits are the best in my opinion.Although I do enjoy wrestling with old less than perfect kits.

                  Well Dave, Tamiya do make a good kit that builds up well and fit together!!! I'm a bit like you in that respect. With a small pile of "classic" Airfix in the stash and a good few built, I enjoy the challenge. Bonus is that some of the older Airfix stuff is still classed as the best there is, or was. The Lightning, Buccaneer and Jaguar spring to mind. The Jag does need a bit of work though and I am looking forward to the new offering from Kitty Hawk, and the New Italeri one. (which is odd, its been confirmed, by Italeri, and slipped off the radar again).

                  A bit off the topic of latest Acquisitions, but worth a mention as seeing what people have been buying. Some of the long forgotten kits are coming out from some of the new names in the kit world. Meng have just announced a new Me 410 which is getting a good review.

                        Ian, I can report that this kit doesn't come with the EAPS/SNIPS engine intake filters sadly. On the plus side it does come with torpedoes! In the three years I spent on D flt I don't ever recall HAR3's fitted with anything more potent than a Very gun. I'm gonna have to find an aftermarket supplier for the filter...anybody got any ideas?
                        On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
                        Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
                        Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

                            I had a look at this site and one kit in particular looked like it had what I am looking for so I asked for confirmation - he said he didn't have an etch for this. Strange!
