If you ever get the chance, you have to check this show out...It's incredible!!!

Alas, that seems very unlikely. I've never been further abroad than Anglesey - and even then I went over the bridge so I guess that doesn't really count!

Still, there's always Cosford, and even if it isn't as big a show, it's worth going to meet up with the Cosford Massive!

<is interested> What vehicles do you have in mind. I also bought this (along with a PAK 35/36) a couple of weeks ago...I'm still deciding what I'll use as a tow vehicle.
The PAK 35/36 is going behind (or with) a SDKFZ 251/1

You could do a bit different from most people and go for, say, a Russian truck:

Parade use only, I suspect

Heres what i got myself at the newark show . The shooting star was only £6 , the airacobra was £9 and the new tool airfix p-40 was a bargain £10 ( it usually goes for about £20) . The one i was most chuffed to get though was the skunk model works 1/48 rq4 Global Hawk , a very rarely seen kit for £16

Nice haul Tony. Hope to see some of it in a build in the future.
Cheers, Rick H.

Thats a great price for 8 paints pete , bought individually they wouldve cost about 17or18 quid ! Plus theres the beauty of having all the colours needed for a particular scheme , great buys.

That's what I thought Tony, I already have some of them but at that price I couldn't refuse!

well, i was planning on going the other way with the 251 i have.............with soviet stars and an M42 behind it

 

[Guest]

I’ve long been wanting to make an M4 high-speed tractor with an 8.8 cm FlaK behind it — but not the way (seemingly) everybody else who does this combination makes it. That’s to say, not this:

but in Spanish service in the 1950s or so, of which I can’t find a picture online just now

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Picked up a couple of useful bits I've been meaning to get for a while.
