Postie just dropped off this ebay auction win...................

No box ( no great loss, Revell's are so flimsy ).
If it had a box, it would have been this

I don't think I've ever seen this made up - it definitely comes under my ' out of the ordinary '
area of interest. < £12 delivered

Looks interesting Dave ....not a common kit or aircraft....

 

[yak face]

Nice Dave , it’s a very nicely detailed kit of a quite unusual aircraft. It always reminded me of a heinkel 219 and looked like a brilliant bit of design but as is sometimes the case” if it looks right it is right “does not apply here. Apparently it had some stability problems etc ,hence why there was only about a dozen made. Cheers tony

Been on the lookout for this one and a charity shop find complete for a fiver

Does it include the ship? It doesn’t say it doesn’t on the box …

I couldn't see it if it is there it's hiding in a corner.

Or it's already been sunk...

Currently on a self-imposed ‘’no new kits ban’’ but that doesn’t mean any aftermarket stuff can be bought :tongue-out3: .
Was looking for a good Sluff and Delta Dagger set for a time now and after seeing the post on FB, these were bought directly from Furball with some extra’s to fill up the order:

Swift shipment from them:thumb2:.

 

[Allen Dewire]

I'm in the same boat as Fernando with the 'No Kit' rule in effect. While surfing evilbay for accessories, I came across a kit that looked cool, but I really didn't need. I was afraid that I might be losing my last second bidding skills, so I threw a bid on it for a €1,79 over the highest bid in the last 7 seconds which was €15,15...The kit always sells for over €20 or more and guess what????……..I won the damn thing for €16,49!!! Skills intact, but the stash ever growing...The horror………………………...



Are we having a Float Thingy GB here any time soon or in the future??? I'm ready……….The bad thing is, you don't get the German Sheppard in the kit. No kits, no kits, It must be the heat, it must be the heat!!! Repeat Often!!!

 

[Lee Drennen]

Got these two off sleezbay and for a good deal one open one sealed never built one before going to try my hand at it.

Not seen them boxed as Aurora before Lee, only as ESCI

It is of course still available, now boxed as Italeri Blitz

 

[Dave Ward]

Postie just delivered these ( don't envy his job in this weather )

That's a fair amount of PE!
Different type of wingfolds - the Gannet is a double upward fold, the Fulmar, single rearward it should be fun ( and I've got a new bottle of Gorilla CA to try )

Postie delivered some goodies today. I was planning on spending my cash on a 1/32 Revell Bf110 C7 but after my boo boo with my Bf109 G6 i had to get some bits for it. So i got some other bits i had saved in my wish list on Hannants site.

For my 109 i got some resin exhausts and 20mm cannon boots



For my 1/32 Me262 B-1a i got a metal FuG 218 set



For my 1/48 Revell He111 H22 i got some canopy masks (essential imho), instrument PE and resin wheels



And finally for my 1/32 Hasegawa Fw190 A5 build i got some Montex masks for JG54, instrument panel resin and resin wheels (kit doesn't have correct wheels for an A5)



So basically i'm skint for now and need to start saving all over again lol

Wow Lee,

These sure bring back some great memories from the 70's. When I was into 1/72, I had a whole bunch of the Aurora/ESCI kits. Their plastic figures were so fine molded in hard plastic too. Sold them all in a stash purge in the 90's. Wish I hadn't done that...…………...

 

[Lee Drennen]

Simon. I’m surprised you have never seen these.

Allen. I did the same thing I sold half my 1/72 about 3yrs ago sometimes I wish I kept some of it but I would never get around to build it.

Wow what a haul Alan I love that AF stuff

 

[SimonT]

Hi Lee - I’ve seen the kits of course. Built a lot of them and still have a lot in the stash (picked up loads of them cheap when Beatties shops died) , but they are all marketed purely as ESCI not Aurora

Good thing is that a lot of them are still available just now under the Italeri brand name

 

[Dave Ward]

Yet another ebay purchase - short run model, little flash & engraved detail.............

[Guest]

Simon. I’m surprised you have never seen these.

They were sold only as ESCI kits in Europe, I think. In North America, ESCI kits got reboxed under different brand names, including apparently Aurora. I didn’t know that either, I thought they were only sold under the AMT/Ertl name (since Ertl once owned a majority share in ESCI, and also owned the AMT brand).
