Went looking for something for the Airfix Vintage Classics GB, but came away with something for the Tamiya Vintage Classics GB :grin:

All this for just under 20 bucks :)

It's a great value kit for certain, and makes a very good basis for a diorama 👍
Best wishes

Thanks to Ray's ongoing Vigilante build, this arrived this morning chez iggie

First impressions are very good, with the parts appearing to be very nicely moulded, finely engraved panel lines and little apparent flash. The tooling and instructions are very reminiscent of Academy kits...

I had given up on anyone producing one of these, so had to get it after a 15 year wait (or thereabouts) :ha:

This was delivered to an adjacent street to mine, despite being clearly addressed.

All the best

A good haul of kits for Christmas

The Revell version of the Cyberhobby Sea Vixen. An unprompted present from The Twentysomething. I think I'll do this for the Named After Animals GB in the new year.

Image

And for the Airfix Classics GB

Image

And from a little shop in Orleans, which is an amazing old kit emporium:

They are on St. Joseph Boulevard. Pretty easy to get to from our house, and conveniently close to an excellent wool and yarn shop for Katie.

I was given this for Christmas from my beautiful wife - probably the nearest thing I have to a grail kit...
