I just found these in my local charity shop going for £5 for all three, so I though as the 4th of May is coming up, I will have something to build.

It's a shame they are all different scales but the snowspeeder looks a nice little kit at 1:52 scale.

I believe the 4th May has now become the unofficial "Star Wars Day"

Ask any Star Wars fan and they will tell you "May the 4th be with you" it's a play on words from the original saying "may the forces be with you" .

Honestly Iggie!!. :ha: :ha: . I think this year is also the 40th Anniversary of the release of the film in 1977.

After enjoying the Revell 1/32nd Messerschmitt Bf 109 so much, I have added some more of their new(ish) toolings from this scale to the stash; the Ar196 was inspired by Fred's build (Canuck2016), the Fw190 as it has an engine to detail and the Me262 as it's a classic!

Little bit of a haul at Model Kraft MK...
These are for my newly started USAF Aggressor project...
Image
I quite like the Me410 and the AT-ST is for the Star Wars GB... The Skyhawk.. well I thought it was an F-5E such as the one in the first picture (there were two together and I just assumed!!). They were cheap!!, no excuse for a Starfix kit I know but... :ha:
Image
After being inspired by the 109 GB I've decided I do like the aircraft after all (always been more of a Fw190 fan), but I now like the later versions with the rounded wingtips and the bigger spinner (F model on?...)
Image
Something for the Sixties GB, unless it's not sixties as was my F-111F planned build!.
Image
And also for the Star Wars GB, although the X-70 X-wing (Poe) was bought in Beale's in St Neots, and the X-65 X-wing was an Argos buy for £24-99!!!!.

Nice haul Mark! We should really have organised a meeting point for all the UAMF members who went! Maybe next year :grin:

I was fairly restrained and only bought two kits, both in 1/32. The Tornado looks great and the Trumpeter Swordfish couldn't be left behind at the price I got it for :-D

I was even more restrained - bought no kits, renewed my IPMS subs, and came home only with some USCHI thread, and a 12" length of tubing.

All the best.

Greg have you ever thought about letting the general public or LMS's get kits from your company rather than you buying all the kits :lol:
