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.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

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.
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

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
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.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
I put a low bid on eBay and to my surprise won these two.

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
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.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

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

Re: Oh, No! - My Stash is Getting Unfeasibly Large!
I have just received these from my recent ordering...
I don't actually need the 190's but they were £2-99 so.....
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.
