Claypole, Newark, Nottinghamshire - But we are in Lincolnshire!
Interests
I suffer severe medical problems due to "Gulf War Syndrome", as such I very rarely get out. Therefore all my time is taken up with my models and my reference library. My model interests focus on "The RAF 1948 - Present", however, I have been known to stretch back to 1945. I suppose that I had to follow the RAF being it took 27 years of my life!
Welcome Ray:elephant:
Nice to see that you have joined the 'Family'. Must say that I have been looking at the 'Raspberry Ripple' sheet on your site and am waiting to bang off an order when they 'Land'.
Again Welcome

Hi Alex
You seem to have forgotten the REAL weapons - Those little bundles of instant sunshine: Blue Danube, Yellow Sun, Red Beared and the different versions of WE.177. All of these are available in the Belcher Bits Kit BL.3

Hello Dave
That is a good link there, especially reading through the whole page. It would seem that the "Aircraft Spotter's" cannot agree amongst themselves as to what they are! I remember that at Open Days, at about 0600hrs, they would be three deep and all with their little step ladders to get "A Good Shot", all waiting to get in when we opened the gates to the public.
Life never changes!
Cheers
Jeff
O.K. you have my attention now. What is this "sprayaway", I have gone through the Hannants listing but cannot find such a thing. Do you have a reference number, per chance?
Cheers

You only need two daft sod's and you have a bidding auction on your hands. Just like those two last year with the £200 + for the C Scale PR. 9 parts.
It takes all sorts, makes me wonder are the bidders modellers or collectors?
That's my two penny's worth

That was a good couple of days watching, it was better than the TV. By the time it got into the £70's I thought then that it would finish, but no it kept on rising and rising. When you think that the actual accessory kit sold for about a fiver and then you needed the Matchbox kit to put it on, the winner ended up with a "Gold Plated P.R.9". I would like to bet that it never ended in the stash in the attic, not at that price! I was buying items from the seller at the time and even he was gob-smacked at what he got for the set.
As you say Wooksta "Fools and their money"

Hi Ya Ed
Have been looking through the Helikit Forum and see that in the very far past you were producing British Helicopter decals. Did you market them and if so have you any left? Any progress with the 1/72 hinge decals for the Jaguar and Canberra yet?
Cheers for now
Jeff
