And now,

The extremely nice Domi Jouert of Retrokit in Belgium, sent me all this stuff free, just because I'm doing all these MiG-21 types for the GB (and beyond!), and I bought his I-144 Analog conversion (and I live in the same town he used to over here)
Basically, all his spare Eduard -21 bits; two complete Bis kits, half another, stores, shock-cones, undercarriages, and transfers

Such a gentleman!

Had a little win at the local auction
Wasn't after aircraft but I got gazumped on all the car and bike lots
For some reason no one was really interested in this lot so I put in a bid

All 1/72.......the eduard spad is one of those 2 kits/4 decal options they do........ The bf 110 is interesting since I opened it to find two kits..... The frog one and a Revell one which is just a repop of the Frog one!...... Shows how old it is cos swastikas on the decal sheet

Some might be old and nadgery but I like the challenge

So that's 8 kits, including two 4 engines bombers for £6.50 each!!...... Which ain't bad since it seems the Mig 1.44 goes for @£25 in the shops



So I'm a happy bunny

Now where am I going to put them? lol

That, Paul, is what I call a bargain. I like that odd looking Soviet short take off thingy.

That's the thing in the lot that caught my eye....... I thought it wouldn't be that big but it's easily the same length as the Lib or the Fortress

It's also a brand I've never heard of....... Toko

Nice haul mate, I recently had a few lots on my watch list for a local auction, mostly planes and armour, but they went for silly prices, so I gave them a miss. Its always nice to get a few bargains though...

Result!

Isn't Toko one of the legacy Ukrainian companies from the 'nineties? (Googles to check)... WWI and Soviet transports, in 1/288!?
