No doubt the rest of the Massive will report in tomorrow with their gains, and tales from the cake stand !
Evening all,
I finally made it to a show after many years absence - met some of the chaps down at Cosford :thumb2:
It would of course have been rude not to buy something after travelling all that way so.......
rather nice 1/48 armoured car - not seen this one before
some paint. There was a note on the box of paint saying £1.50 which seemed rather too good to be true so I queried if that was just for one bottle rather than the entire box. Turned out the note had fallen off the shelf above :crying:
Stall holder said "but these ones are 10% off". I picked up this set and said I would have it. "oh not that one that's Ammo not AK, that one is full price". Paints had got into wrong box!!! BUM. So the worst bargain ever at the end of the day as I had to pay full price
an allied lorry - bit different and not bad price
lastly this 72nd Hummer by a company called Military Wheels - never heard of 'em
for the bargain price of £4 so it just creeps into Rons 'under a fiver' category
Bought without looking at the contents - had initial viewing after I got home and it doesn't look too bad
Very enjoyable day

Looks very good, clean mouldings, complete engine - nice decals - and, of course at a VERY pleasing price!!!

Or you could reverse that advice: never go to [model show name here] with more than a tenner in your pocket.
To complete ( for now! ) my FAA thread - Hermes just delivered this...................
I was aware that Revell had reboxed the Ancient Frog Gannet, but I didn't realise that this boxing was new tooling ( OK, 2008 - at least this century! ). It came in two flavours, the ASW. and the trainer version. I simply couldn't track down an ASW boxing, so I had to settle for this ( it has all the parts for the ASW & a sprue for the T5 bits) - I want to do the ASW version, so new decals are all that's needed.
Trumpeter do a 1/72 version, but the Revell has more details, like a open bomb bay - and of course true to my Yorkshire nature, it cost less!

Hi this is my haul from Cosford day out.
The sub is for the under £5.00 GB.

Some nice stuff there chaps.
My haul from Cosford.
First and most important. Simon gave me this when we all met up. Ages ago he said I could have it - And I promptly forgot! What a great surprise. Thanks Si'. All other modelling is on hold whilst I tackle this.
Scruffy as you like, unreadable instructions but for a tenner I should worry.....
One for a kamikaze diorama. Yes, another!
Another for the under a fiver build....£1.99. Probably the cheapest yet.
Another under a fiver candidate. Half price.
I already have one of these, but the loon only wanted £15 for it, brand new and sealed. They can retail at over £30, so how could I refuse?
25g at less than half price.
A good day for bargains.

That’s quite an inaccurate model of the Kursk, I’d say — it’s above the water.The sub is for the under £5.00 GB.
A lot of brave human beings lost their lives when she was lost........
G
It’s a submarine, isn’t it?

Well said Ron :thumb2:.

Well heres my modest haul
The eduard Yak 3 was £2 ! No instructions , decals , pe and missing the propellor spinner but im sure i can supply these from my spares. The siege machines is just so nuts i had to have it and it was £4 so this is one of the candidates for the under a fiver build. The Revell f-18 was £14 , looks a lovely kit , and the bandai japanese manga spaceship thing was £5 , so this might be getting done for the under a fiver build too , although i will have to brush up on my Japanese!! The flexi files and p-38 photo etch were £ 1 each , bargain!
