For £15 was having it
Tamiya minis are great kits.... Nice bargain
Never thought of looking in cash converters for kits
my one has a few kits a 1/48 dornier and a 1/24 bmw mini but thats too expensive considering what it is on ebay
check their website
A few things caught my eye today..... Followed me home
A very nice haul!
Ok chaps, so as you may be aware if you follow the UK's Tank Museum, back in May, they announced that they would be publishing a book on the A34 Comet - a favourite of mine.
I pre-ordered it at the time and it arrived on Friday. I've not had a chance to look at properly but the initial inspection is promising. A nice quality hardback with a lot of information, including a bit of background on the British Cruiser doctrine, as well as "over 300 photographs and illustrations". It also includes info on those that served with foreign powers once we were done with them and Cold War trials using spare hulls.
Oh and as someone who pre-ordered it, I got a full third off the RRP!! Furthermore, because I ordered before mid-June my name is preserved in the back, for the rest of time, as someone who supported the publication.
Below are a few taster shots, in case you are thinking of getting it.

There are a two of the three pages of people like me that helped with a pre-order....

So since the harrier and f104 has got me interested again in 'not usually shaped' aircraft i saw this reduced to 16 squids in my local model shop..... And they dont come much more lumpy not normal shaped than an A10 
Damaged box shop from SMS - frankly, the ‘damage’ is cosmetic, but I’m not complaining:
Nice 
Top bargain steve , its a brilliant kit , Ron did one on here a while back , I wouldnt mind getting one myself seen as I’m on an Italian tangent at the moment .
Most of them have very little damage, but enough not to send them out as perfect.
Very much appreciated nonetheless sir
Latest charity shop find. Unfortunately it's missing all the z tune options. Front bumper wheels brakes and tyres are missing. Was for sale at £15. But when I pointed all of this out. And tbh I kinda fibbed by saying the other wheels etc won't fit properly. I got if for £6. Think I may have another set of wheels that may fit with some fettling

A bit more on topic now, this set came today.
Got loads of ideas for it, just hope they can be translated into something tangible.
Ordered some replacement wheels and tyres which will hopefully come in the near future

One in from the right has now been enjoyed.
