Hi Paul, sorry to disappoint but I think they're only in the UK or the Caribbean ... We're lucky enough to have a shop 10 minutes from home.

Just as well really. Poor old Paul is from the land of Hersheys………real chocolate would probably give him total sensory overload :tongue-out3:

The only kit outstanding for my Hunters and Hunted project is Revell's 1/72 Ju 88 C-6 (kit 04856), which are like hens teeth. The are plenty of their bomber versions in the run available but I've only seen two of these come up in six months.... Both for silly prices.

Nothing lacking there, Peter...Self-control, is all mind over matter...You don't mind, and it don't matter!!! I guilty too and Black Friday sales don't help. These showed up yesterday,


The paint set is for my Berlin build and the rest were Black Friday needed things. Love the Riich description "Soft Pipes" too...And evilbay caught me out with a real bargain,


€20 delivered and the seller threw the sprue of extras in with the kit. That was a really nice gesture on his part...For the record, the score now stands......Sold 5, Bought 3...Stash reduction is still in effect JR...........................

Dude 1 trying to explain your way out of this none stop buying is not working , each one of those items counts as a buy. Matron should be with you soon to correct the errors of your ways . Stand by :smiling3:

Isn't that the point of having a business though.........

Lost leader Karl, hopefully once in the store you will spend more anyway.

Sort of. That's the much older version...04856 is the much newer tooling..

Picked these two up today for a grand total of €50, I would of been happy with just the P-38 for that.....

It was one of those "too good to be true" posts on FB, 6 kits €25 each, asked if I could collect in person and the answer was a surprising yes.

I think I'm suffering from that incurable disease that's going around lately, you know........Modelacquiritus!!:face-with-head-bandage: These just arrived, yes it's that age old source Evilbay. This guy keeps accepting my ridiculous rock bottom offers, so I'm compelled to complete the purchase!!:rolling:

Nice haul Rick!!! Watch out for Matron though!!! If she hears you've got the 'M' disease you'll be in for an extended in-patient hospital stay!!! :smiling5:

 

[Mini Me]

It's OK Andrew, I'll take the "heat"....just couldn't pass this stuff up, not at gift type prices anyway. :smiling:

I went to the Hamex model show at Hanslope village hall today.

Bought some very old Mr Hobby Aqueous paints at 11 for £5, and also a box of blades for from Paul who some of you might now as Littlecars. He's got some health problems (haven't we all) so is running his online shop down. :sad:

Also had a very nice bacon roll, but you don't need a picture of that!

Good spot, needed a red for something else and planning ahead......

Vallejo have the same with their RAF colours. I think, off the top of my head the Trainer Yellow is a RLM number. But if the colour is close enough...

Definitely time for Aldi GB...I picked up the FW 190 at the weekend.

 

[adt70hk]

OK, so another mysterious arrival. Usual good service from John, despite postal strikes doing their best to delay their arrival.

This though is a Christmas present, so it will be a while before I can open it.... :disappointed2: :sad:.....although I think a few of you might be able to guess what it is but please don't say anything!

Hi, picked this up at LHS sale with society membership discounts for around 25 Pounds...the pigeons were blardy expensive.


Cheers,

Richard, now all you need is a bag of scale pigeon poop to go with the birds! :tears-of-joy:
