Just to advise UK members that Hobbycraft has reduced Revell kits.

From memory:

1/72 B-1 £14.99
1/72 F-22 £7.49
1/72 Halifax (ex Matchbox) £7.49
1/72 Hunter FGA.9 £4.99
1/72 Wellington (ex Matchbox) £7.49
1/72 Tornado (RAF) £4.99

There may be others but I cannot remember them - I didn't have a pen on me to make notes.

Get them whilst they are still there.

I guess the Reading Hobbycraft dudn't get the memo then. They've got NONE of those kits in stock at all. Actually, they don't have very much in the was of plastic in stock at all!!!

Ditto the one at Cribbs Causeway nr. Bristol.  >:(

Maybe the news goes by pigeon post?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Joe,

Really? I thought they were just a clothes place, obviously merits further attention now!   :o

Sorry guys - those were in the Greenford store - and I assumed it was across all the shops.

Went into the Sheffield store today to find the only models on offer were the 1/48 F-105, the 1/72 Mig-31 and £10 off the B-1, and I'm not fussed about any of those :(

The Stockport one's got them all, just so you know you wern't dreaming. I got a MiG-31 a few weeks ago, when it was just that and the F-105G.

Joe,

Yeah, I've seen them at my local TK Maxx too.  It's a bit hit & miss & I think it varies shop to shop.  Most of the ones they've had in Hull have been cars or Star Wars Easy Kits, although they've had some Airfix & even some Manga stuff in the past.  Like any goods they carry, the supply might well only be small so get them when you see them, I missed out on the Airfix Civil Aircraft boxset this way when I thought it'd be easier for me to pick it up a few days later...
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.
