  1. 1/32nd RAF Phantom, massively overdue and neglected subject. You heard it here first.
  2. You can hear the screams of anguish from here of the collectors now their £50-£60+ rare kits have taken a massive drop in value! Bring on the SRN4, that'll really cause despair. Just as an aside MJR Models are selling them for £9.90 plus post!
  3. Probably around £2000-£3000 if the Xtrakit going rate is anything to go by! 😂😂😂😂
  4. If you can find one below the £80-£90 people seem to think they are worth?
  5. Sounds brilliant and nowhere near the £90+ the Xtrakit is fetching second hand.
  6. This will sell like hot cakes and put an end to the absolutely ridiculous prices scalpers have been charging for the Xtrakit models.
  7. This will no doubt prove extremely popular.
  8. Hoping for a reissue of the Scimitar, eBay land seem to think £70-£100 is acceptable for this kit.
  9. There are definitely 1/48th kits in the Smer/Merit/Randall kits out there, they are IMHO inferior to the Pyro/Impact/Lindberg/Lifelike kits of old having raised markings etc as was popular at the time. There was definitely a two seater Bulldog kit produced in the past, I'm thinking it was vacform or resin and can't be certain of manufacturer though. There is also the stunning but scarce and usually very expensive 1/32nd Silver Wings kit to consider if you can find it. Hope this helps.
  10. Cheers Chris but I only posted another link as the original one didn't work for me. Mike is the one who found these little gems.

  12. As said I'm just relaying what I have seen myself. And to be honest I'm not surprised that as said people have lept to their defense. Unfortunately the keyboard commandos that happen to frequent the groups seem to delight in the bullying of others and in this day and age where mental health issues are at the forefront I personally find such behaviour abhorrent. I'm not sure how this has ended up almost hijacking this thread but I'm sure that this isn't the place to continue it.
  13. Troy, unfortunately the Veteranus group seems to have a hardcore of groupies that can be outright bullies if anyone has an opinion that even slightly differs from that of the Admin and I would go so far as to say it's almost encouraged, I've watched the group several times and it's a reoccurring theme I'm afraid. I'm sure that there will be some that will leap to defend but I'm just reporting what I have personally seen. I definitely agree with your sentiment regarding finding homes for the paints and tools etc, I believe there was a group set up called Models for Heroes that would be greatful for any donations.
