    I'm an idiot and need some help!!

    It's official! I'm currently at the flying legends airs how (having a great day) but I've just bought what I thought wa a real bargain but was clearly not paying attention. (idiot, idiot, idiot) so I've bought myself a Trumpeter 1/72 EE Lightning which looks like a really nicely moulded kit but this is so not my scale. So if any of my online modelling buddy's is interested it's up for sale/swap (for something 1/48 or possibly 1/35 armour) Will someone be kind enough to save me from feeling like a complete chump.

    Regards

    Chris

      While you're there, get a magnifying glass - and enjoy the, as some say, 'One true scale'.........I'm off to carry on with my 1:48 Hurricane !

              Your not the only one who's done that Chris.Last year I bought a 1/72 P47 Thunderbolt when I meant to buy a 1/48.Got it home,opened the box and thought 'thats small for 1/48'.Then I read the box properly and realised I'd done the same as you!.

                      If its any consolation Chris, that kits goes together really well. I built one a couple of years back as the F2A in 19 squadron colours. It came out a really well.

                          It must be catching I was so glad to see an F4 Phantom in my local shop the £38 tag didnt even put me off,,, it wasnt till I got home to see the 1:72 on the side of the kit,,,luckily the guys know me so I took it straight back, phew!

                              I would have taken it back but I felt like such an idiot I didn't have the stugots too. On the subject of the F4 can anyone recommend a 1/48 kit that won't bankrupt me?
