  1. Well yesterday brought a surprise,I picked up Revell's 1/32 Spitfire MklX for a snip

    on e-bay at £20 posted,it arrived yesterday in a suspiciously large box which only

    contained the Technik version of the kit! I 've mailed the company explaining the 

    fact they've sent me a kit they advertise at a £100 more and await a reply!

      Maybe I should have kept quiet Jean,the sender on the box is a different company

      from the one I bought it from so really it's a third party that's lost out but it's only

      a P.O address and I don't want it dragging on for ages.

  4. Parcel arrived today I thought great that'll be the Esci Crusader I won for four quid,

    Oh no seller decided to send the old Hasegawa kit instead.Needless to say a strong

    e-mail is winging it's way in his direction!

      Seller replied quickly they are not modeller's so mixed the kit up it is a nice example of the

      Hasegawa kit and as it was only £4 I've told her I'll keep it.

      I did build one a few years back Jean,I have another already in the stash that I had planned to re-scribe the lines when I saw the

      Esci kit I thought I'd save the effort!

  7. Well the paint situation is now critical,two builds for the in the navy GB shelved and running on

    fumes for a lot more projects,no sign of my LMS opening soon there's a DIY store I pass on the 

    way to work has a humbrol tins stand but I hate the damned thing's!

    1. stevej60

      stevej60

      I use acrylics so mail order may be the way to go,cant understand why the dept store in town that stock's

      Humbrol is closed yet another that sells exactly the same stuff except model paints is!My LMS stated the 

      fact that due to the older age of the majority of customers they were closing until further notice,I don't

      know whether to be offended or not🤔
