I found the Airfix Vosper MTB and one tonne Land Rover in a toy shop in Taunton and won the two Bristol Bulldog's with a lucky low bid on eBay.

That's a pretty cool looking ambulance Alan. And I coulda sent you at least one Bulldog as I believe I have at least a couple in the stash.

I am a Happy Bunny! During the match last night when the Mighty Jags took a point from the Septic juggernaut at the San Giro Stadium, I managed to secure an Airfix 1/32 Bentley on EvilBay. :-D
Now I'll be able to make a 3D version of this Commando comic for the 'One for the books' GB based on subjects from books or comics.

Nice haul Al; they'll use up some display space once built!

I have to say that 1/32 is a civilised scale, not as good as the Gentleman's scale of course, but nice to work with for single seaters
Best wishes

Oh yes. After trying to order through WNW's Wetashop I gave up as the kits weren't available. So I back-ordered them through Hannants and got 10% off and free shipping. A saving of some £40 over Weta.

Cool, not a bad kit IIRC, although the wheel bays do well with some walls added. Very smooth, shiny plastic too but nice results can be had.

That ambulance is a corker and do small assembled. A bit of research and you will enhance the interior a lot. Leave rear door open to show it of. Being a JB kit it goes together well.

A few replacement parts will help the vosper. A replacement band stand and torpedo tubes for starters. Coastal craft are a good starting point.

Cheers Chris I will check out Coastal Craft.

Another lucky eBay bid nabbed me this classic for only £20. More than I would normally spend on an old kit, but these are hard to find and normally go for a lot more money :-D

I have just received these from my recent ordering...

I don't actually need the 190's but they were £2-99 so..... :-D
The Freightdog stuff is the Variable Geometry set for the Lightning, although it's meant for the Airfix single seater, I want to try and fit them to a two-seater for a Royal Navy version. The left set is a Genie missile set, also meant for the Lightning, although I might use them on a Voodoo I have.
The Focke-Wulf FW44 is mentioned in Heinz Knoke's book which I am using as a inspiration for the 109 80th GB. He flew (and crashed) in one while travelling from base to base so I thought I would get one and perhaps build it alongside the 109 GB.

Four more for the stash. IBG models Chevrolet C15 a no11 cab and the same with the slightly different back body also 2 edward Spitfire MKIX late. Though the kits contain the bits to make almost any version of MKIX as well as containing bombs and different drop tanks.
All 1/72 scale

All the best.
