The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

I've acquired these latest additions to the stash!!. The 360 should go nicely with the same company's 330 and the Airfix Skyvan, although the latter is 72nd and the 330/360 are 1/144th but never mind, saves the conversion effort I was going to do using the aforementioned Skyvan!.

I actually bought the Tornado in November but forgot about adding it to here until now!.

My first purchase of the year - I have wanted this kit since I was a lad. It will be built and finished in Viet-nam camouflage scheme.

Haha no way I was actually considering buying that actual kit the other day Beany!
The Quild Hall is an uh unexpected but amazing place for kits!

I believe Eastern Express are (have?) also releasing a Skyvan in 1/144

Yes, I think they have, it does seem to be termed an S.C.7 I think it is. Already done the mighty Airfix issue so won't go for it just yet.

Last ones of 2017:








I actually bought 2 of set no2.

That's all you could manage is it?!? (and I didn't give you even one of them!! )

Oh yes. On the way home form work this morning I wandered by the Cancer Research shop, it's on the way. I found this....
I don't know it's retail price but Kingkit have one listed as pre-owned for £32-99. I got it for £7-00!

Not even opened inside and all complete!!!. I look all the time but it's rare to find much. Occasionally though, one is rewarded with a find like this. I'm not sure if it's the re-box of the Hasegawa kit by Revell but I don't really care!!

Nice find Marky, not jealous at all.........ok more than a little

Christmas haul for 2017

Merit 1/72 Osa I (already been on here but I wasn't allowed it until Santa brought it)


Academy 1/350 Oliver Hazard Perry, nice kit


Heller 1/400 Jeanne D'Arc (lots of extras in this boxing)

Charity shop find - Revell 1/32 Starfighter for a fiver that turned out to be a bit of a lucky dip. No instructions, well, not the right ones! they're for an Italeri Sherman There is also what looks like an Italeri 1/35 British 8th Army figure and a sheet of decals for a 1/72 Chipmunk in RAF and RCAF service.

Looks like a good time of year for charity shop hunting.

Unwanted gifts perhaps??. Got rid of with a bit of indecent haste if so. Still, one person's unwanted gift is another charity shop find!

Exactly, my stash cupboard is full now so I don't know what Im gonna do when I come across an awesome kit in a charity shop haha!

Nice, back in the seventies, I was a Wasp helicopter AS12 missile aimer in the Fleet Air Arm and our main target would have been the Osa’s, as luck would have it I never needed to fire a missile in anger.

Is there any chance of an in box review?

Got this today,chuffed as buggery!
