Thanks lads for the comments,I only wanted a Zero,I dont know what came over me,I told SWMBO it was MarkyM607 fault for calling me loony. :ha: :ha: This is the most kits I have ever had at one time. :shock:But with my completion rate of about 50%,I should manage to build 3 and throw 4 against the wall. :oops: Thats one of the reasons I dont have a stash,its usually a rotation of 3,1 built,1 thrown and one in reserve!! :)

Thats the thing,I enjoy building them,even if I dont complete them.To me its the choosing the kit,getting it out of its box and gluing parts together,if it gets finished,its a bonus. :lol: Am I the only one who thinks like this,probably!! :-D

Picked up the new Trumpeter 1/72 SAM-6 ''Gainfull'' .

It wasn't in the stash for very long. It is now in 7 sub assemblies and I just need to sand the missiles before I start painting.

I can't ever bring myself to build a kit I've only just got :roll: I have no idea why, it just seems disrespectful to the other kits :shock: :shock: :-D :-D

Here's another three that will have to wait their turn to get built to avoid upsetting those already in the stash! :-D
The Harrow was inspired by Chuck's build in the Cargo Haulers GB (Here: http://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=366&t=15139), the Fokker T.V looks an unusual subject, and the K P gliders (two in the box :grin: ) were added to save paying postage, but actually look to be nice little kits anyway :-D

After seeing all of David's small armour builds and his current Matchbox Challenger build, I put a cheeky eBay bid on these three kits for less than £12 thinking Revell had reboxed the old Matchbox Challenge. To my suprise I won and a further suprise was that Revell had not reboxed the old kit but had manufactured their on very fine detailed kit. So I'm classing this as a win win two decent kits the Cromwell & Challenger and a not bad Churchill.

A good chunk of heavy armour for the price. All MB kits were 1:76 scale and AFAIK all Revell 1:76 kits are old MB ones, therefore if it says 1:72 it's not MB. Would like to see how the Revell kit compares to the MB one though.

Thanks for the scale advice on spotting ex Matchbox kits, I will do a combined in box review for you.
