I'm worried you have enought room for all these kits
I'm rapidly running out of space lol
Meng are turning out some great braille scale stuff at the moment
Nice one SI. I've also got that in the stash...and as you say looks very good indeed!
I bought 100 of the plastic pipettes from China. They were only a few pence each, so not worth cleaning if you need anything stronger than water.

Books
I do like these books for a good high level overview of what I'm building. Managed to pick this up second hand for below the original price (see below) and about 25% off the new price....and it's as good as new to be honest!
And another one from the series. Whilst the seam is a little bit worn, its only superficial and the inside is in very good condition and less than £7
£1 from a charity bookshop. In case you've not heard of this book, it's the wartime journal (kept against the rules) of someone who served with the Kings Own Scottish Borderers in NWE 44-45, which was published after his death. He was also a talented artist and they have included some of the pictures he did at the time.
Masks...for some of what may follow....
Bases for some of my planes for use at shows. You can also download free 3D print files for some of the accessories!
Popped up on eBay....the last major Japanese plane missing from my stash......and then I realised I had points on the same sellers own website.....so 10% off!

The is a 1991 rebox (still sealed) of a 1965 Heller kit. Won in a charity raffle at a recent show.....£1!!
Despite the fit issues with my Indian version of this Mk XVIII kit, I really enjoyed it and the thought of doing a rocket firing Spit was too much! About 20-25% off what they normally go for new. Box was damaged in transit but inside all looks ok.
And you're not seeing double....this is the second one of these I now have. After my previous acquisition and my story about a friend who flew GR1s in the First Gulf War, I got offered this by @Neil here for the same price...and it came with the Brassin additional exhausts for free. So now I can do him another one!
Thanks again @Neil
Realised a bomber version of the Ju-88 was missing from my stash (I already have the C/Z version of this kit). About 1/3 off the usual price.
