Just think of all the extra detail you can put into something that big. How many different shades of grey you can put on the wings and fuselage (says the guy who has twelve different metal shades to put on 'silver' 'planes...)

They may decide, nah, not a car, can't be for Kaci, and just deliver it somewhere else?

Stranger things have happened. Although...
'It's a long, narrow box. Obviously a lorry of some sort!'

Been eyeing up a nice Stryker kit for a while.
Plus another 1:16 figure kit and some ultra matt varnish and a couple of files, well you can never have too many files, can you?

No truer word has been spoken!

I put some small numbers on the nose of one of my mini-MiGs
Tries

Folded over, then stuck to me, then to the cloth, then disintegrated...

Burned down, fell over then sank into the swamp

I went to the Brampton show today, not intending to buy any models, but since I'm building a Vulcan a Victor to go with it seemed like a good idea, He asked £30 but accepted £20.
Then after hearing how bad the Airfix kit for the DH88 Comet is I thought it'd be interesting to see if this old Novo kit is any better:

For £4 it doesn't really matter.
Then a weighted base to hold revers-action tweezers caught my eye, hoping it'll help with my shaky hands.

Came with 4 pairs of tweezers for £9.
Not a bad day's haul!
