My little haul from Hamex at Hanslope village hall. I was very restrained despite extreme provocation in the form of lots of very nice looking kits.
The SR-53 comes complete with an extra set of decals from the chap who licenced his resin version to AZ for the injection moulded version

Didn't bump into you mate

£37.00 + £2.00 entry, very reasonable

Watching this one with interest - I've fancied building this one for a long time as well. Maybe an ECM aircraft of the world project...

A lucky bid on eBay got me this selection of over 100 6mm AFV’s to go on the LST I’m building. They worked out at about 35p per item, but I might be able to sell the surplus on eBay when I’m done.

Those are rather nifty, particularly the Churchill, Sherman and Bren carrier. I'm looking forward to seeing how they go with the LST.
