Just got back from Modelfest with these. Another airfix Nimrod and a book about the Mighty Hunter too. My six year old daughter bought herself an Airfix Red Arrows Hawk for £3 and won an Airfix Sherman in the tombola.

Sorry I can't add photos from my iPad anymore so I'll have to do it from my pc later.

picked these up for 4 quid from an ebay guy who was local

was after something else and he had these going too, no one was bidding on them so i snook in a cheeky bid and won them..............of course the one thing i was after i got outbid on!!!! lol

My friend just got back from Orlando and he spotted this for me, I've wanted one for a while for a customer that comes into my shop. He owns a Texan and so wanted to make one up for him, just need to pop down to Bristol and get loads of shots so I can make it as exact as possible

Hi all,

Went to a show today in Spalding which unbeknown to me has be going for years its the ipms wings and things. Met some local modellers who were very welcoming and i had many invites to other shows etc... i think my wallet allows 2 shows a year and very controlled buying thats what i attempt

Anyways enough rambling heres what i got!

The books and picture were raffle prizes couldnt not give it a go as all proceeds went to charity!

A friend gave this to me...so I may also do a NYPD version of this Plymouth.

Anyone any ideas on the shade of blue used back in the 70's?

As I have seen many many different shades in pics.
