  1. !/24 I think would have a problem getting it in the house, let alone in the delivery van! I dont think you would get many of them in the shipping container! I'd hate to think of the parts breakdown🤣
  2. Interesting to say the least. If we think about things for a moment, they have significant tooling already from the Hellcat for the engine, so a Corsair or Thunderbolt could be considerations. Similarly the Bearcat. Now as mentioned, being the 90th anniversary of the Hurricane, this could be a good time to replace the aging current kit they have. So we do have a few decent candidates. With the background they've used, my money is on a hurricane.
  3. Popped to.my local Smiths (refuse to call it Jones or whatever it bloody is now!!!!) and no MAI in there. No tamiya mag either!
  4. Talking of parcels going missing with Evri/Hermes..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74905yy7l1o Take a gander at this from the BBC!!!!!
  5. Does anyone know if this will be available from the usual suspects at Telford?
  6. Sort of... It started in MMXXIV, so the title is correct for that period. It just happens it carries on through MMXXV,. Seems we've been buying less, so the thread has lasted longer😁 BUY MORE! FILL THREAD QUICKER😁😁😁😁
  7. Very nice kit when built! I built it when first released. Big kit!!! Then we had the house cleaned ready for showings as we decided to movem cleaners were told NOT to touch the study, and the bookcases with the models. After they finished, found the Vixen with the main undercarriage sliced off!!!!!🤬 Needless to say a few words were had with the cleaners and a few choice Anglo-Saxon words said when I discovered the damage. I did manage to pick up another to replace the damaged one, but have not got round to building it...😁
  8. Well, that would save them some money if he won......😁

    Tyres for 1:1s

    Must admit, tend to replace like for like on our car. However... We've come to appreciate Hankook tyres. We've had Hyundai cars for our last two vehicles, and found that the hankooks on these cars have worn really well. First car we only replaced the original tyres after about 30,000 miles. Really surprised just how well they lasted. Not a particularly well known brand in the UK, but we've always found them good and long lasting.
  10. Only one thing... A Military Intelligence Officer😆
  11. It was the range that was stopping us from switching initially. But we went with a 64 KW Hyundai Kona, has about 300 mile range on a full charge, so it's not too bad. Must admit we found the lack of chargers a problem when we were on holiday in Yorkshire a a year or so ago. Had to keep driving about 15 or 20 miles to the nearest decent charger bank to charge the car. That was the only limiting factor on exploring the area for us
  12. All I can say is thank god I no longer have to worry about the price of fuel and the variations across the country, and the massive fluctuations. Switched to an EV 3 years ago, and save a fortune on petrol costs every month. Instead of over £120 (as it was when we got rid of our diesel car) to fill up, it's on average less than £10 to charge at home. Filling the car was about every 3-4 weeks depending on mileage. Charging is about every 2 weeks. At this moment in time, there is nothi6to make me switch back to a petrol, or diesel vehicle. I wouldn't even get a hybrid. I am quite happy staying with an EV.
  13. Simple answer. You can't. Long answer, you can't upload, you can only use a hosting site which background links and displays the picture for you. Follow the link and the post has a massive FAQ about how. This second one on how to use Flickr as your hosting site
  14. Yes, and pretty much every time of asking has been first choice. Been able to redeem pretty much every year over the last few years and not had any issues in doing so.
  15. Not long enough for cultural vandalism. They did it just for kicks, and the notariaty that the crime would bring them. Nothing more. Yes it was just a tree, but the cultural importance associated with that tree is incalculable. Their actions have had far reaching consequences and has reverberated far beyond these shores.
