Afternoon all and a happy new year.
So technically these were 2021 arrivals.
Nothing special and took a punt on the drill and clamp set from Lidl after someone on here picked one up - and very nice it is too for only £8.

No need to apologise, as your say cracking value. I'd been looking at getting one of the little pin vices and they're at least a fiver....
Thanks again.
Andrew
Yes, I got one of those too. Had to visit 2 branches of Lidl to find it though.

Sweet very nice
First purchase of 2022 bought it for Colin’s Falkland GB 
Technically last years' purchase, but didn't get in my hands until today................
Unusual - I looked at the 1/72 version, but then realised that there was quite a bit of rigging, so 1/48!

Hmm. I dunno , John. Seems like they could have at least included a flamethrower team for ya.

Yes Ron very unfair of them how ever I have just ordered some gas bottles for my garden flame thrower !
Went to my parent's for Christmas and I couldn't help to pay a visit to the old Amati Model shop. It's charm is still alive. I felt the same thrilling sensation I had when as I child I stepped into what I considered an almost sacred placed, sensation I think is shared by many customers: as far as I remember I never heard a sound or a word that wasn't more than a whisper in those rooms. The only change it's the shop name. It's changed from Amati to AMT since Amati split its retail activity from the production, the latter still under the well known trade mark Amati.
But I'm digressing from the thread topic: as every modeller exiting a model shop, my hands were not empty :flushed:
Useless to add that my intent was to get some paints (the 4 Tamiya) and thinners but the Spit was there, the only 1:72 on the shelf, with it's inviting price tag... how could I ever leave the shop without it, generating a lot of bitter regrets that would have harrowed my poor soul for the rest of my life...:loudly-crying: or, in other, more famous, words I resist everything but temptation.:tongue-out3:

Nice that the shop is still there Andrea, of course you had to buy the plane, it was calling to you.:smiling3:
Looks a tricky build Dave....
I paid a visit to my most local proper shop today. They're mostly into the r/c stuff, but do stock a few kits and are handy for 'supplies'...
Nick
Just felt that the stash pile could benefit from a bit more height :smiling: 
I've made and primed the figures - they are excellent - I'll get round to painting them soon. Tamiya have come on leaps and bounds since the early days!
Steve
Ooo I like that Dave
