Latest Acquisitions (2023)

A couple of Christmas Faireys came today.

The better half gave me a budget for model pressies this year so I spent it with John. They didn't exactly come down the chimney with Santa though, rather DPD threw them over a 6 foot fence and left them in the rain all day :rolling:

I'm not allowed them before the big day though so bought myself a little something to be getting on with

Two excellent FAA classics and a fav from 'the Nam'. Very nice.
Be defo watching these if you blog them. Have a connection with two of them!!
Gannet, well I served at HMS Gannet which had one as Gate Guard. Also, first aircraft I threw spanners at in my engineering training!
The Swordfish, A very good friend of mine was part of the Royal Navy Historic Flight Swordfish crew. What a job. Yes I'll admit to a certain amount of envy!!!

Thankfully they were well packaged so as far as I can tell the kits survived the ordeal :smiling3:

Of course, the absolute worst that could happen from a model kit getting wet, is that the decals become unusable and the pages of the instructions are stuck together. I would be highly surprised if the plastic parts suffered from being out in the rain :)

I can’t wait to tuck into some of my 72s. I’m starting to get that nostalgia again. Love these old kits from yesteryear - really test you but in a good way

Paul,
I lost my interest in 1/72, but lately it's beginning to pick up again! That early Stuka in splinter camo really attracted me............

Morning chaps

So I have recently been looking for a 1/72 P-51 to finish off my collection of 1/72 wingy things , and indeed to finish my stash full stop, as I realised I did not have a 1/72 US WWII fighter but I have been struggling to find any at what I consider a reasonable price when P&P is added.

Something then made me look at the website of Hobbycraft***......to discover they were doing a special offer of 25% off a lot of purchases made via their app...they also give you a £5 voucher for your birthday, which as you know I have just had.....

Unfortunately though they have a £10 minimum 'click and collect', so I had to buy a second kit...

....

In short......rather than these two costing £24 as per their website.....I paid only £13......£6.50 each.

And as for speed of service....simply outstanding.....I pressed the 'Buy' button at 23 minutes past midnight 'today' and they emailed at 8:32 this morning to say that they were ready for collection!

ACW as usual

*** for non-UK members, they are a national UK chain of general arts/crafts/hobby stores that does a reasonable range of kits.
