Man alive what a haul. And you managed to score a 1/24th Harrier for £4.65?? or as I suspect is that the original price tag from the early 1970's? Plus that classic Lotus Cortina - it's rare that I get excited about car kits but that looks to be such a great looking classic old kit of an iconic vehicle (can't say how well or not it goes together though).

Ok. I will be the first to fess up to my Telford spending spree. I have to admit though, I didn't exactly go wild with it. To bo honest I bought precisely one model. And that was only £4.
Added to the stash was an Airfix F5a Freedom Fighter. A true CBK. Last time I built one of these I was about 9 yrs old.

All the best

Greg

Well, I am a Yorkshireman lol
seriously though. I only sae two models I wanted. The aforementioned F5a and an Airfix DC10. And there was no way I was going to pay £60 for the DC10.

All the best.
