Postman came with this today, Thanks to John at SMS.View attachment 114592 thought it would look nice with its sister.


no not an antipodean version! If any one knows why when this photo is the correct way up on my smartphone and on my laptop, why it keeps showing arseupwards on these forum pages!!!


Also got some crock clips and some AK British Army paints to try out.

I remember building one of those as a kid , I think it was my first delta wing aircraft but it could have been one of the first

just a side note to my last haul of acquisition,s all from HK, 5 days ago,at a cost of $57.oo Aud,with


postage,


the reason im saying this is if i did go to a shop hear and buy,them,it would cost double that amount,


or more as the tank alone would of been $50 to $60,so why would i buy hear and why should I,


when i can find cheap on the net,


and all this save me driving getting a headache and smoking 4 or so fags each way ,much better


way to do things,

A lady after my own heart, can't blame you for shopping about that's what it's all about, shopping and finding a bargain or two makes it feel much better and better for the pocket, or in your case.....the purse

 

[monica]

oh lol,no truer words dose one say, Tommy its just a joke what they think we will pay,but no not me,i love a good bargain,


I,get 4 for 1 sounds good to me,thats why all my kits come from over sea,s and only buy paint hear ,which is good because i get to have a chat with the lads and a coffee for 3 or 4 hrs

I really must try and control myself on e bay!! Just had to have this though! Its a complement to the hustler ,f102 delta dagger and f100 super sabre and its another one I've been after for a while. Just like the f102 , its a beaut from monogram , lovely details and a nice decal sheet and scheme, all I need now is a f104 , f105 and f106 and I've got all the century series jets!View attachment 218421
