Sorry if this is the wrong thread. Was in Model Zone London today, talking to the staff. The 3 for 2 has been stopped on RC but continues for model kits. Head office had not told them when it would stop.

I'm not sure if the deal applies on-line but I do know that there is free postage on any order over £10 so perhaps some bargains to be had?

Well was not going to buy any more to add to the stash however could not resist today when i found this for £25. Had my eye on this for some time and as Hobbycraft are having a winter clear out on selected models thought I would take this off there hands

Its a great little kit and buids well. The colours that Tamiya point to are a biy off though... If you need info let me know and I will point you in the right direction.

Aidan thanks for the heads up.

Would really appreciate any tips and advice Ian for when I eventually get round to building her. If you could PM me any links that would be great, cheers Rich.

I'm shaking my head with dismay at your lack of willpower, Al. When are you going to build it?

 

[AlanG]

Oi Rick! At least it's a British aircraft this time

 

[rickoshea52]

I can talk. I wilted in the face of Modelzone's 3 for 2 again. I came home with a Buccaneer, A4 Skyhawk and HMS Warspite. The ship is a gift for the old man but the others are all mine. I might do a dio of the Buccaneer garage in Elgin! Get some pic's and the tail number next time you're up there getting your Buckfast and German jazz mags mate!!

 

[rickoshea52]

Hey Al. Have a look at RAF Lossiemouth on Google maps and tell me why there is a Tonka on the grass next to Runway 05/23 at the R23 RHAG? Was that the day you were the sqn tug driver/

I bought the Airfix kits from Modelzone and the Challenger from a shop in Ljubljana. The two bagged kits I got second hand from a bloke at IPMS Farnborough.

Well, the postie came in her little red van today and dropped these off for me.

Can't wait to get started on the Zero, may need to get the aftermarket kit for it.

Also have a small dio planned for the other two kits.

I love to have birthday and xmas time preety close to each other

Will be busy for a long time now

Tamiya Pz.pfkwII plus Bronco tracks and metal barrel. :terrific:

Spitfire as it is, and Mighty Nashorn with a set of ammo by AFV :flattered:

Now have a problem. Which one to do first?

 

[Guest]

oh i think the nashorn looks the like the one to go for first,as ive never seen one before

mobear

 

[bluriusz]

Nashorn is the most complicated from them. Box stuffed to maximum. Magic tracks, pe parts, metal barrel. All for a 30quid, which is absolute bargain. Containes about 700 pieces.. yeah

 

[Guest]

Mmmmmmm, tasty. I would go for the Nashorn but the Panzer II is a lovely little kit..............., nope, has to be the Nashorn

[stona]

I've got a Hummer thing. It has four wheels and no wings from what I could tell before it was removed for wrapping

Ready for that SIG build now.

Cheers
