I'm poorer and I and I'm the spitting image of Justin bieber with a birthmark under my nose that looks like hitlers mustash and I talk like Alan Carr on helium

Well, I can only speak for myself and what I'd do with a spare £100 ; I'd get one of these: http://www.fishermodels.com/product/ryan-stm-2-pt-20-132-scale?tid=1

(Actually it's worth having a look around Fisher's site if you're not familiar with them, they do a range of high quality resin cars and planes).

 

[Guest]

Thanks but the import costs would probably take it way over the 100 quid.

 

[Guest]

Lol @Alan 45

I'd be tempted on the old Monogram (Revell still make it ) 1/48 B-17 and all the extras!

Or several C17 Glodemaster and build 'The Bus' from Agents of SHIELD

 

[Guest]

Just checked it out 82 quid for plane and 85 quid for big ed upgrade kit can we try and keep in the price range swmbo keeps a tight rein on the purse strings.

 

[Guest]

Plenty of B17's for under £40. And upgrade what's seen

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

Good point. Looked into it and kits cheap enough. Extras soon add up!!!

I intend to do one for the '4 Engine' Plane SIG. Which coincerdenterly was the Plane that ended the 2nd WW.

(70th anniversary of the A Bomb dropped in Heroshima)
