View attachment 115712 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!

So we now know what to look for at Cosford Tony


Nice kit by the way

I love online shops...and specifically, those from HK.

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,

Just bought the new Eduard 1:48 Spitfire Mk VIII profipack. This is a follow up on the Mk IX and it is simply amazing in all aspects. The decals has an Australian scheme in a shark mouth scheme. This was a release I have waited for since the Mk IX was released. I also bought the Revell 1:32 Bf 109G-6 with Eduard accessories as I have all the other variants of the Gustav, except for the G-6 version. This looks to be a very nice kit as well.

I just got this, shipped in from Spain at rather more cost than I like to think about.... But it is a thick book, tons of photos, high quality and simply a bible for aircraft modellers.....
