A boat, some books about German cammo but only one Ruski based purchase.....I’m shocked
I bought this huge kit when it came out in the mid '70's . I got as far as putting the hull together. After that it simply vanished.
Recently I had a hankering to get me another, but at over £100 for this large scale 'Constitution', forget it!
I've finally managed to get one. 1/96 scale (92cm long) for £25 incl. P/P! Me Happy Bunny 'cos the lot smaller scale versions cost at least that much.
Beat that box, 'Big Box' Dave!

Unbelievable buys! Panzer Colors are rare & usually go for a premium. PauE
Think I paid at least £15 each for mine about 10yrs ago so a definite bargain :thumb2:
When you going to start it Ron?

So the old boy did well then, I don't believe it when saw them just laying there and when he told me the price and said is that ok.
I'm certainly a happy bunny.

Hi Ron, now that's what I call a ship, what a dio that would make, all tied up at the quayside ready for departure with crate's and people everywhere :thinking:.
Pete
Thanks chaps.
The problem is.
When one gets to a certain age, one starts to wonder if one has enough years left to complete the build of such a huge sailing ship....Doesn't one?!... :fearful:

Keeping the Postie employed, another <£10 ebay auction win
In horrible black plastic, and sticky with release agent! - 'Moulded in Rassia' !
I have a Yak-23 Flora, and a Mig-15 & this adds to my project of early Russian Jets - not experimental, but production aircraft. Looks like the silver paint will take a bit of a beating...................

Now now 570, lets not have any of that negativity....There’s plenty of life in the old dog yet:smiling4:
One does! That's why one got rid of one's kit years ago! One just doesn't have half a lifetime left to scrape the flash and mould seams from all the spars and masts!
PS OK. I'll concede that's a bigger box than any I've bought for a while!
:tongue-out3: :thumb2:
Hope you had some rains to cool down and get back to the bench.
Oh and a tip, stay off EBAY mate...its really bad for the stash:tongue-out3:
You and me both Al!!!
Oh, and Fernando, I've been good the whole week for a change...No kits Buddy!!! It finally rained before and didn't help a bit............
Hi Guys, hope the weathers better.
I just got some goodies which I'd been searching for so long. One doesn't have a box and decals which I don't mind deciding to make the RMAF version of the Dart Herald so no pics of it yet but here is a Marlin and a Zveno-SPB.
The Marlin is huge and the Zveno ugly but unique being a parasite with two detailed I-16's. The Marlin will need scribing that I'm ready for anyway. Both decal sheets are still good.
Cheers,
Richard

Richard,
I'm looking forward to seeing you work your magic on these two.

I like the look of the Zveno Richard.
