rs2man Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 At the Cosford show yesterday I picked up an Airfix boxing of the MPC 1/16 427 Cobra . Bit of a crude old thing , but the basis is there for a really nice model . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homerlovesbeer Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I picked this up yesterday and I must say it's a BEAUTIFUL kit! Lovely detail for a 1994 kit and the clear glass is the best I've ever seen. The Hasegawa of old 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Morning Chaps Man that Mazda looks nice Homer Latest purchase is the Aoshima Lamborghini Sesto Elemento which a friend has bought in for me... Not a huge fan of modern cars, but after making a start on the Aventador Roadster, I must say i'm actually quite looking forward to it...

Homerlovesbeer Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Morning Mad Steve I looked at buying the Aoshima Lamborghini Sesto Elemento but shape in the pics on HLJ looked a bit odd so I got scared off lol Latest irresistible bargains. The Belkits Escort is one of a pair as I bought both versions. Not sure which one will be built as per box art but the Profil 24 Ford P68 gives a clue to what will happen with the other Escort The Ferrari F1 cars should build up ok. I'll be getting replacement decals for both kits from Michael at Indycals. Steve. That's a terrific haul there Steve, some cracking kits there.

shood23 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have to say I do love my wife (sometimes). This morning after breakfast she dragged these out of the car for me I do now feel a little afraid as to the reason why she did this but I will find out in time I suppose Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riever49 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Have never bought a bike kit, haven't bought a car kit in the last 40 years. Last car was probably the Monogram Dusenberg Torpedo Phaeton. Well, you did ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I do now feel a little afraid as to the reason why she did this but I will find out in time I suppose Quick... check her shoe cupboard! There'll probably be a couple of new boxes containing tall boots "in the sale" or Jimmy Choos that she was able to sneak in while your attention was diverted by the styrene... bestest, M.

shood23 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Shaun you'll be on edge all day now I'm just waiting for how much blood I have to give for these "treats" but I'm pretty sure I will be doing something I don't want to over the next few days or it could possibly be for putting up with going to ikea then having to master brain surgery to put the stuff she bought together, but I'm betting on option 1 lol Quick... check her shoe cupboard! There'll probably be a couple of new boxes containing tall boots "in the sale" or Jimmy Choos that she was able to sneak in while your attention was diverted by the styrene... bestest, M. I'm quite lucky as shoes are her vice, there could be the possibility that she about to start though as apart from birthdays or Christmas she never buys me kits during the year. It's the old only on your birthday routine lol Shaun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elderly Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Cool...hope you'll find it useful! Can you imaging the marketing department's discussions at Haynes ..... "There have been 5,387,862 Minis produced and many of the owners would be the kind of person who would want or need to do their own maintenance; this books should sell well." "What about producing a D.I.Y. manual for the Ferrari 250GTO and their owners?" "How many were produced?" .......... "39". Hmmmmmmmmmm :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
