Very nice Alan loving the figures which will set this off nicely. am i to assume from all your recent purchases I've seen flying around on here lately that you will no longer be buying anything at Telford but just having a look around the displays

Now that looks very familiar Rick

But we all know what brings us more pleasure Although some people love books my wife especially she as a mini library going on I find them really boring each to their own as they say. (Marmite)

Fair point, and I do have a lot of books that I only drag out to answer some arcane question about engine production or something

I do enjoy building my kits, it's just I've never felt the need to collect them. It takes all sorts and happily we have them here! I know a lot of people have stashes that will outlast them (and their immediate descendants )

Cheers

Picked up this in TK Max for £9.99 on a flying visit back to the UK.

You're all a bad influence on me, up until now I have only been buying a model as I completed one, now I have a stash! Although this is the entire of my stash. The question is will this count for the under a tenner build?

It's a good kit for an old one not very detailed but goes together well , to really do a good build you'd spend more in after market than you payed but it don't need it really to make a decent look

I was going to get one for my friend but found out he's after a Sea Harrier FA2, anyone know where I can go that's not too costly? I may just wait till Telford and have a look round once were set up

Not allowed to see it yet as it is a Christmas present, been wanting to make this kit for a couple of years now. The Dragon's 1/350 Scharnhorst with Mk1 Models detail-up set and wooden deck. These are internet publicity photos.

OK, not sure how to put images in and Ive saved the image to photobucket, so here goes nothing

Today I popped into a little bookshop run by a little old man. You know the good old fashioned type of bookshop and I found these little Profile Publications at at 95p each.

They had loads of them but I couldnt afford to buy them all

The red ones are

Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk (open)

F4F-3 Wildcat

F4U-I Corsair

SB2C-1 Hellcat

B-25 A toG Mitchell

Blue Ones

F-4 Phantom

Grumman Avenger

Douglas R4D (US Navys DC-3/C-47`s)

A-6A Intruder and EA-6 prowler

F-8A-E Crusader

If anyone wants me to catalogue and/or buy some on your behalf, quite happy to do so.

Tamiya will "buy in" if they find a good one, but as they dont expect a large return they wont invest in the tooling up. So the Hurricane is Italeri and the figures MB. The Japanese market is more to the German and US stuff!

The Harrier by the way is a Revell boxing of a Hasegawa kit and builds into a nice Harriet. Just watch out when you join the cock pit sub assembly to the main fuselage.

Oh I see so tamiya like to have there little fingers in everyone's little pies , I knew about the revell kit , I found out when looking for harriers in the 1/48 scale , didn't roman (vajelid) do this kit ? I found one on here with a construction thread and it was out by about 2mm on the section your referring to I'll keep a look out

Thanks Ian
