Just going back to this, inside it says made in Italy. Hence the Italeri re boxing by Tamiya. Nice clean mouldings.[ATTACH]311495[/ATTACH]

John,
at least Tamiya do credit Italeri on the box- how many other makers do this?

True: Revell’s kits, for example, just say “Made in Ukraine” or something if they sell another manufacturer’s kit in a Revell box.

Yes, nice touch, can't think I've ever seen another manufacturer do that either.

Or Italeri requires them to do that, of course OTOH, Tamiya does the same with ICM kits so it could be a courtesy to the original manufacturer:

I've been waiting for this to appear on offer for a year or so, and finally it's in my hands....................

All I can say is WOW - it has certainly been worth the wait! The Flanker is the most attractive of all modern planes ( at least in my eyes! ). To get it at a good discount is part of my 'buzz' - patience does pay off!
Happy Dave

Nothing beats a good bargin , more so than when you've been waiting. Was it Amazon clearance , I keep looking but rarely see something I'd like . King Kit are worth a look in their 2nd hand , Simon T found my 33b on there , at least 30 % cheaper .John

John,
Amazon Warehouse seems to be pretty quiet at the moment - it picks up over Xmas & the New Year - increased volume=increased damage. I got the Su-27 £10 cheaper than KingKit. I just trawl through the retail sites regularly - I have a mental wish list! Buying from the Far East has become less of a bargain, their shipping costs have jumped, and the £ exchange rate doesn't help. Makes you wonder about VAT on Brexit?

Well I can see prices going up seeing how much comes from abroad. There will be a lot of work going on behind the scenes, but at the end of the day I can't see anything being cheaper .

Hi all
Not any where near as exciting as some of your purchases but useful :thumb2: Plastic shot glasses for mixing paints, washes etc - saw the idea on YouTube. I got 160 for £6.99 delivered from eBay. Crystal clear, rigid plastic about 3cm tall.
