Oh yeah, I know the place you mean now, thanks, I've been there for some rather good metallic paint a few times.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

A MASSIVE parcel arrived via the GPO today containing the Atlantis re-pop of Revell's 1/56 Bomarc missile and launcher. I'm sure I don't remember it being THAT big when it first came out, and sure enough, on opening the box, it wasn't!

The missile kit fills maybe 2/3 of Altantis boxing and then the retailers went bananas with their packaging, so much so that a 1/35 Bomarc would have gone in there.

The kit's magic, but it'll be heavily Whiffed into something manned I expect as the launcher is destined to support my Navaho when I've finished it.

From Hobbycraft:

3 x 1/76th Airfix Scammell Tank Transporters
3 x 1/76th T-34 76/85 tanks

Bought new because the 3-for-2 deal plus a birthday voucher they sent me made them cheaper new than any of the 2nd hand ones on ebay. The Scammells cost me just £5.66 each and the T-34s just £4.66.

I want these for more McQueJobs... :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:

Curiously i've never played the game, i only saw videos of it but i like this fighter's design a lot. This is actually my third kit and although i bought this one mostly because of the decals, i also have a few ideas i'd like to try with it. :thumbsup:

Bought from my LMS this afternoon, a PM DFS-194, and an Airfix F. C Land rover, both with 10% discount, and a Revell weathering set, seen as I am doing some armour at the moment. The land rover will belong to the RAF, and the DFS-194, a captured aircraft.
