discussion RAF. Cosford 2015 shopping list

[john i am]

Hi everyone hopefully many of you will be going to Cosford this Sunday 12th April so if you are what are you going to be spending your cash on and are any of you looking for a rare out of production kit.Do you have a set budget or do you just go crazy within reason hopefully once you make your 1st purchase.I normally have lots of ideas of what I want from the show but this year I'm going with a totally open mind and see if anything can tempt me into parting with my cash hope to see you there cheers John

I can't go so I'll have to wait for our show to get my fix of new plastic

 

[Gern]

I haven't got a piece of paper big enough to list everything I'd like - and I certainly haven't got the budget!


But I'll be there with whatever pennies I can scrape together and just see what takes my fancy as normal.

If I see a cheap Airfix 1/24 kit I will buy it. And I also fancy the new Airfix 1/48 Hurricane.

Well I'm going to go for a 1/72 v-22 Osprey. I understand that the Hasegawa kit is better than the Italeri one.


And will either look for a 1/32 Lightning or a 1/24 truck and trailer

yes defiantly the hasegawa one, I've built the italeri one and never again its a horrible kit with need of a lot of corrections

Can't make Cosford, so I guess I've got a bit more saving time for Yeovilton air day, roll on the 11th July!!!

Well that one won't be found in the remnants boxes on the floor Tony! I guess we've got a chance of seeing more of your face and less of your backside while you're looking!

 

[spanner570]

I'm going for something money can't buy.......A chance to meet my good buddies again from S.M.


Also, I will enjoy following Dave (Gern) around, watching as he hunts for the biggest kit box he can find!
