Got something to say about the hobby of model making?

There's been some great choices here, can't disagree with any of them. I also love the Stirling being bombed up, and it's an even better surprise when you open the box and find you get the bomb trailers and tractor in the kit! :)

But I think just for sheer impact and use of colour I like this one:

Also, speaking as a Londoner, this one really makes my heart sing, London landmarks combined with one of my favourite and unique aircraft:

This recent pick up certainly makes the cut for great Airfix box art

That's a shame Rohit....my daughter is in India now for a month & would have been able to have posted it inside India if we'd known..... :sad:
I'm sure it could still be done cheaper.... Royal Mail Value Service to Zone 12 for 1kg is about £24 for example (And that still gives £100 compensation as standard)

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Totally agree with the RotoDyne, it looks like something out of a Gerry Anderson series!
