Is that Airplane?

Yep! Give the man a coconut!

Slightly off topic, well, kind'a sort of.....
I still have some £4.99 Aldi 'Starter Kits' They will fit the bill nicely - I hope!

Bonus points if you tell me where that comes from.

"Airplane"!
Just send the cheque to the usual address, since we won't be meeting at Cosford or Hinckley. :disappointed2:

I've got a Revell Challenger 1 from Cosford last year that I bought for £5 will that do.

( I would have remembered them this year , honest )

Yes but 12 months out of date ! Anyway, I'm a Coeliac now (well actually always was) so I would have to sit there and watch you all tuck in. Boooo. I'll miss the meet up, it's always a good day out.

Welcome to Earth , live long and prosper .
Seriously though , if I would have known I would have got you something suitable Col .....and probably forgot it !

Sounds like it’s a goer then .The general consensus seems to be anything as long as it was a fiver or less ( as Dave says not including postage if buying online) ,the cheaper , weirder and crappier the better ! Let’s see if we can get a wide variety of subjects . I’ll start a thread on the user suggested GBs and get Ian to set us up a section .

I've just had a look on ebay, there's some right old crap out there - just perfect for this little project. I might go the ship route this time.

You're right about that Colin! I'm kinda hopin' I'll find summat in my stash to fit the bill.

when are we looking to do this one?

Just a thought. The Annual Cosford Under-a-Fiver build is usually only open to those who attended the show. Shall we make this open to anyone on this rather sad occasion?

True Dave , I think to be fair we should make it an open to everyone build but to keep it in the spirit of cosford I think we should only allow kits that have been bought between now and the start date ( I was thinking the date the show would have been on ) costing a fiver or less ,minus postage if bought online.
If we say just any kit that was under a fiver then people would be pulling stuff out of the stash that they bought years ago ( which wouldn’t be a fiver now ) which kind of defeats the spirit of it, the challenge was always to find something on the day .
So here’s my suggestion - Any kit bought between now and April 5 ,costing £5 or less ,not including postage , with a two month run time .
Thats it , clear and simple ,it’s just a fun cheap quickie build .
Interested parties shout up and we can get it rolling soon as . Cheers tony
