If I had that Inpact kit I think I would hid it away for a year or ten then sell it on evilbay. Should keep my in kits for a while....

Be interesting to know what such a kit could fetch?

You see, you guys are evil to me. Ive now bought two inpact kits from e-bay for something like a fiver each.

Im currently working in the Hawker Fury and to be honest its a nightmare. It goes togther well but the fit it poor. In all honesty its probably good for its day.

So, now I own an unopened flycather and you guys are telling me how awesome it is. Now, on that basis of this, and the Fury Im too scared to touch it for fear of killing it.

Bah Humbug to all of you :)
 
Penny,there are a few pointers in the link I posted about building the kit. They were considered good kits at the time,you'd need to put it next to something like one of the sixties vintage Airfix kits to see why. They don't go for much,you got a decent deal on yours,and I doubt they ever will!

Definitely build it,that's what kits are for.

Cheers

Steve
 
Penny , im with steve, build it ! thats what it was made for, im sure youll make a great job of it . Even the sixties airfix stuff can be a surprise too, speaking of which- my latest acquisition is the just out re-re-re-re-release (its been out loads of times before,its that old!!!!!) of the De Havilland DH88 comet, in the black magic markings. This kit is so old its got the pilots heads moulded in with the fuselage and no cockpit aperture at all!!! Still its a beautiful machine and with a bit of bashing and scratching should look lovely in its shiny black and gold scheme. Cheers tony
 
Oh A DH88 now that was a nice machine. Was it not red in the earlier releases? Does look hansom in Black.

Penny, You build it! Thats what you brought it for after all. I just think that I, Me, myself would hang onto it. I got plenty of other stuff to keep me out of mischeif, (and pocket).

What scale is that BR-52? Being Hobbyboss I'm assuming it looks very detailed?
 
Thread owner
This will be impressive, over 2 feet of rail mounted stuff, look forward to seeing this one develop.

Hi Tony i've just got the 1/35 version of the kriegs locomotive and my next purchase will be the karl gerat and some wagons, at 1/72 this will look very impressive indeed.

Saw a Dragon 1/35th Karl Gerat yesterday when picking the loco up for £40 secondhand and all that was missing was the figures. I was so tempted.... Have to look for some wagons to go with the loco but will be next year.

You jammy so and so Ian. I well remember building this years and years ago. Cannot remember what the fit was like but it does make a really nice model. The Monty figure was not bad either, hope it has stood the test of time.

Ian, Graham i have one of these in my stash and i have test fitted it out of curiosity and the parts fit together like a glove which is really surprising cos it's such an old kit and airfix to boot. Dave i think i might give a dio a try once i have all the bits i want it could be interesting.

'Ang on a minet, yours was 1/35! That going to cost an extention to the house. Mind you a nice 4m long shelf in the work room would be very cool!

Arrived yesterday , the tamiya 1/350 Bismark , another good deal from ebay at half the price of a new one , had a look in the box and looks very nice the hull is one piece so no filling needed their , sadly its now going to my mums till christmas, on the plus side it means I won`t be getting socks pants - smellys - hats and scarfs this year from her LOL , looking to get some AM stuff for this one ie- gun barrels the PE kit and after reading some reviews the PE deck is a must have , I`ve tried the white ensign site but its not very easy to get around if you don`t know what your looking for so if anyone has any pointers which if any website might do these bits I would be very greatful

Cheers

Richy
