Hi all here is my ebay buys View attachment 86147View attachment 86148the car was a bit of a chance as the box is really badly rat or mouse eaten and there are lots of bit off the sprues but I thought it looked interesting as I've never built a metal and plastic car before so thought i would give it a go.

Its arrived - ordered direct from Airfix who are just up the road from me... It seems that a lot of model shops have already sold out. Ordered mine Saturday.Though I am at work I did open up and take a quick look and it seems Airfix have upped their game in both packing and in their instructions...... All colour pictures of the made up model included appropriately weathered at the back.... a first for that I have seen.... Attached is a pic of the first page of construction showing a new drawiong style I have not seen with Airfix before. I recon we will be seeing great things from Airfix in future... Sorry the first photo is not the right way up and I dont know how to correct it.

Did you see the build in the Airfix Magazine Barry? The finished product is in the visiting room at their HQ. You should opp in for a look if it's just up the road. What a marvellous looking kit.
 
Hi Joe

I did indeed and, yes, the next time I pop over to the cinema at Westwood Cross I will pop into the Hornby Visitor Centre and take a look. It is well worth a visit regardless of the Tiffy.
 
Mine still hasn't arrived at the shop which has annoyed me as he told me it would be there on Saturday , I've told him if it's not there by tomorrow and I see one at yeovilton on Saturday he's lost a sale

Any way rant over this has just arrived it's another of my British Cold War jets collection , I got it cheep on fleabay and was a bit worried because I've never heard of the company before but on looking at the sprues it looks a ver nice kit View attachment 85826

That will be interesting Polux, nice one. Alan, Xtrakit is I believe a Hannants based company.

Hooray! A large box turned up on the doorstep today, and imagine my delight when I opened it and found the Eduard Spitfire 1:48 The longest Day in there! The postage was unnaturally quick. 5 stars to the seller. I will definitely do a review tonight as there is no review on this kit on this forum.

Polux I agree with ole it will be good to see the differences :) , I wonder if they will do the hurricane in a new tool:)

I popped into the LHS and picked this up View attachment 85891

I've never built any armour from academy so this will be good to compare to tamiya

Im pretty sure that the contents of Polux' box is the same as Barry and all the otheres that have splashed out on this one. Its just the Spanish boxing.
