Not really, it just cost me a bit more than that to send a package to Melbourne from Adelaide.

Or just buy over AU$150 worth of product & get free shipping.  ;)

What gets me is I get models from HT Direct which is an Australian company and it costs $12.50 nz and mate that's for some bloody big boxes .
25 Aus is $27.90nz at the mo and it's just far to much for 2 items which weight less than a pack of smokes .
GAU 19s are .50cal weapons which are actually shorter than a normal M2 so yeah I can't warrant the price .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Makes a great story but;

She'd probably had lash extensions put on & they were irritating her, so she kept blinking in short rapid bursts.

No, not personal experience, but I'm surrounded by women - sisters, wife, daughters (Thank the Gods for grandSONS:rolleyes:  ) - & they all have stories about lash extensions causing similar reactions.

No believe me, when he said she was a very naughty girl, that was an acutely accurate observation... :wacko:

I received today, from a nice man in the Adelaide Hills, an Airfix Avro Lancaster B.II (to be fed to a Blackbird Models Lincoln Mk.31 Conversion set when I get one) and an Arma PZL TS-11 Iskra I wasn't expecting.
Thank you Guy.

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

Wasn't just the outfit, she was a serious girl-racer, with a taste for streetfightered old-school Suzuki GSXR-1100s, which she rode like an absolute maniac. She always said she wouldn't date a guy who had a smaller bike than her, and when her then boyfriend ended up, due to a series of random events, riding a CBR600 stand-in bike for a while, she nearly split up with him.

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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Honestly don't know if he did. The church was the local one for the bride, literally visible from her house, so I suspect he just "got lucky" hosting us that weekend... :angel:  :-X

Best not say too loudly that this Blue Thunder was a freebie as well.....  :wacko:

I also added a 1/48 Italeri BAe Hawk T1 which I got mostly for the decal sheet.
