Hi All,
Picked this up at the weekend at my local model shop, They had bought a few old kits off a chap who found some in his loft which he had bought years ago. Out of all the kits they had i picked this...

Went into my local shop on the way home from work for some paint ........... Came out with one of these (Yes it's a stock photo scammed of the net).

Never built a Heller kit ............ So it might be rubbish. But for £ 13.00 it's a cheap punt. I'll find out when I start putting it together after I finish the Hyabusa.

Nice one Peter does/didn't Rossi ride one of those

Did you drop on Sean's shop in Cove, he's a very naughty man for stocking model kits now!

That's the one Rick......... I can see more of my cash disappearing already.

Yes, but much later.This is circa 2003. Loris has retired now. Rossi rode Ducati in GP 2011 -2012 seasons........ This a very simple kit @ 79 parts. Might need a bit of detailing to make anything of it.

Sounds like an opportunity to create a huge diorama, especially as many of your new kits are in a similar period

wish I did have the room for that ,would look great,

do thats two extra rooms Moni needs tagging onto the house.....one for the stash and one for the Battle for Russia dio :P

once there all stacked up in the corner you hardly see them lol,


would be nice to have a room just all shaves to display them on,

That really is a great haul Monica, some lovely kits there

ta Tommy,that's what I like so much whit the german amour ,the camo is so different ,

[john i am]

Just managed to bag these two not the best bargain to date but it's increasingly becoming more difficult to find a bargain!!!!

[PaulTRose]

you will like the 7, great little kit, built it 3 times over the years.


in fact it was the kit that got me back into modelmaking after a 30+ year lay off

[monica]

do like the looks of that SR-71,


I think would look good in that murky black color,the spooky looking color,

Nice haul John , the Revell /Monogram SR 71 although an old tooling ( i think it was first released by Monogram in the early eighties, then re released by Revell too a few times since) is generally considered the best in detail and shape , its a great aircraft , looking forward to seeing it built , cheers tony

The Lotus 7 & the Blackbird will make excellent builds John!


Here's a diorama idea ... when the SR-71 took off, it would stream JP-7 jet fuel from the wings because the seals were loose, allowing for expansion at Mach 3 speeds ..... whadda you think?

[Guest]

Bought these 3 since Thursday.

I love charity shops, £7 for the pair and still in the cellophane.
