Hello guys, the first 70 P1154s are on route from Hong Kong, due to arrive a couple of days before Souther Expo, so looking good for release at the show on 14th March. I have a couple of advance samples due later this week, one is earmarked for Jon Freeman to re-jig the 4 view drawings to match, and the other is going off to Jen Wright who has been commissioned to do a 'speed build' to display at the show (in Norwegian exercise wrap around white/grey!). I'm expecting to set the price at £39.99 with a 5% discount to £37.99 for What-If and Harrier SIG members (its only a couple of quid off but its all I can do at the moment). I'll post some pics up when they arrive.

Hi Colin

Excellent news that they are on their way, Hopefully Jon won't have too much grief with the artwork as most of the obvious changes are to the undersides. Jen should do a good job for you with the display version as she's a cracking modeller, but a week is going to be interesting to acomplish  :o.

Only one slight drawback, the SIG doesnt actually display at Southern Expo, although some members will probably attend (Martin has the SIG at Peterborough on the Saturday). Therefore most of us will have to await Cosford if you manange to get a day release and join up with Ali  :thumbsup:.

More I hear about this kit, the more I think I might succumb!  Might pick one up off you at Cosford Colin.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Peterborough isnt a SIG show Geoff, im there (along a few other SIG lads) on branch/club stands.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

No probs Chris, around fifty arrived this morning so I will have plenty for the show (and hopefully a made up one for display if Jen Wright gets it painted in time).
