A couple of great looking kits there Arni. Out of curiosity which Capri kit is it you mentioned?.

All the best.

Ah. The zacspeed. A kit I've always fancied getting. Is the Mercury Capri the old AMT kit. Quite a rarity if it is.

All the best.

This has an extremely tatty box but upon checking it is complete.

Something a bit different but it has potential..

Seeing as I can't get to the Cosford show this year (again) I decided some retail therapy was in order.
Got this for the sum of twelve quid.

All the best.

I just popped into the model warehouse at Chilton and found some nice additions. I picked up two more Provosts, including the all red one. Also, the new tooled Revell Tornado in 1/72nd. I need to look at it against the last release to see where the changes are.

I spotted the new Spitfire IIa on the shelf and bought one to try, This is the brand new Revell issue. Having had a good look at the plastic, I'm not overly impressed. Detail is quite nice, but it doesn't quite come up to the standard of the new releases from Airfix and KP. Watch out for some in box reviews, soon.

The new Revell Spitfire IX in 1/32nd was in stock too, but I had to give this one a miss, this time. Big show this weekend and two cars doe for tests and service.
So many models, so little time.

Little haul from Cosford, was well pleased with the Whirlwind for a fiver, but once home and having them in my hot sticky little mitts I was looking up who the manufacturer was of the bagged resin Ar-396 and low and behold its an Omega one, and at £3.99 winner, winner, chicken dinner

It's not often that I comment in this section, though I do look quite often, but that is indeed quite a haul Frankie - jets, props, choppers, there's something for everybody!
