The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Here's my small haul from SMW at the weekend:

From the IPMS Members' kit swap:

1/48th Airfix Lynx for £15.00




1/72nd Airfix Spitfire F.22 for £4.00



1/48th Tamiya 109E Trop for £9.00




A brand new Christmas present to myself, the 1/48th Airfix Tomahawk - more than likely I will do the shark mouth option




And finally a freebee courtesy of chrism and the only CBK, the venerable 1/32nd Airfix Crusader, a kit I have fancied building for a number of years. As you can see Chris has part built the kit and I have in effect a primed model ready to be completed. Many thanks Chris for your very kind donation to the cause!

Back from SMW with yet more for the stash.

Ah I was wondering if anyone was going to get an SR 53. It should be good as it based on the masters of Freightdog's resin kit in full cooperation

How much and what scale was/is the cat?

LOL.

How much: - well on the basis of how much he has cost in vet bills recently he should be worth a bloody fortune!

What Scale - about 2:1, hence the vet putting him on a diet!

More kits.


The first I ever built.



Check the 1978 price!!


Got plans for this chassis.....

Arrived yesterday. A very nice decal sheet for the Yemen F-5E.

My haul from SMW, didn't even have to sneak it in as SWMBO was with me

DA DA DA DA Batman..

Nice Haul Kit!
God every time I see that F-18 I get really jealous as I really wanted one!
I asked the guy at the stall and he said someone bought the last 30!

From Pat at Collectakit - I couldn't believe my eyes - just sitting there in plain site.
I was expecting it to be about £100 but when I saw the price on the box was £50 I knew I had to have it - I tried to haggle Pat down but he was steadfast with the £50 which I thought was fair enough. I had a look in the box first and the kit was still sealed in the original bag, and the sticker sheet was intact. First time I've seen one in the flesh since about 1974 I reckon!
