  1. That possibly explains why they stopped selling new Airfix kits?
  2. Our hobby can be very expensive at times, but the price of model railway items is eye watering. This must have a big effect on the turnover for retailers. Hattons fall out with Bachman cant have helped either.
  3. Pre-ordered mine from Jadlam for the grand total of £50.95 posted, using the loyalty points I'd accumulated.
  4. I asked one of the Airfix reps at Telford when it would arrive and was told the second week of December.
  5. Managed to go both days this year, full day Saturday and 3hrs Sunday while my wife went shopping. Very busy Saturday, with my usual gripe about uncontrolled ruck sacks and people who don't know what soap is. Only spent £10 on plastic, which was on a slightly started Bandai AT-AT and a bargain given it's retail price of £70 ish. All my other purchases were mostly consumables. There was some stunning models on show and a couple of highlights for me were the Vaillant Porsche 934 that won gold and the motorised Dambusters Lanc on the IPMS Belgium table, which was fascinating to watch and hear it go through it's engine start up and shut down.
  6. First time for Hattons, Jadlam and emodels, I think?
  7. 1/48 FG1/FGR2 Phantoms have already been released by Corgi. I appreciate there is a lot more to a plastic kit than a diecast model, but they have obviously already done their basic research and design. Watch this space I suppose......
  8. I've just Googled "Helicopter on a lorry" which brings up a lot of photos of various rotary craft being transported by road. Chinook, Merlin, Apache, Sea King, Mi8 and many more.
  9. Mine arrived just before Christmas (great service from Tiger Hobbies) and it will be built as the Malcolm Wilson Q8 car. Hopefully we will see some BRC decals from the likes of Reji Model. A Bertie Fisher Toughmac livery would be nice.
  10. Excellent build and a nice bit of reference as I'm building a 10 AEF Chippie at the moment. Good info about the wings as that's my next job.
  11. Superb couple of builds. The small details like the seat straps pulled up over the seat head box are spot on, something often missed by modellers.
  12. That looks so right. Cracking build.
