cmatthewbacon Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Finally managed to snag this one for less than £10 on eBay: I think this is more or less the last of these little gems I'm after: if I can find a VW T70 I'll have it, but the older French classics don't really appeal...* best, M. (*) In 1/43: I’ve got the Citroen TA and DS in 1/24 already... plus a Range Rover, Land Rover and several Minis 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoolioPaulio Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'm watching what will be my first F1 kit purchase on Ebay, if it stays within my budget I'm willing to pay. Just hope I'm not competing with any other BM members, but if so may the best man or woman win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Fujimi 06125 Namadara Bonbon Porsche Carrera Cup Japan just arrived from the ‘bay at a very decent price. As far as I can find, the only 964 series models are these Fujimi Carreras, and I need a couple for my Singer ambitions... best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to look like I was hinting at others to not bid. If I miss out it won't be the first, and sure as hell won't be last. I already have 13 various unbuilt kits in the stash so I'll get over it, I just hope if I don't get it that I do see it appear in this thread Whats really grinding my gears right now is not being able to get a PS5, been sat on the money since Xmas day (courtesy of the better half) but the scalper problem is making my blood boil 😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 After a fair amount of looking on EBay, I finally acquired a 1/32 Airfix Lotus Cortina at a price I was prepared to pay. Only slight problem was that the vendor sent it via those imbeciles at Hermes , who just dumped it on somebody else's doorstep without so much as knocking , then sent a message saying they'd delivered it to me . It was only by the greatest of good fortune that my neighbour realised it had been dropped on her doorstep before one of the local scrotes nicked it , then passed it on to me . Frankly , it amazes me that Hermes remain in business when they're so utterly useless . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that purely depends on your local driver - our guy is excellent - puts the parcel on the doorstep, knocks, steps away. waits for an answer then takes the pic of the pacel and says a cheery good bye! Now I've said that they'll probably put some new guy on our route....!! Nice buy with the Cortina, I've given up looking! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Our Hermes lady is pretty good, but like the Royal Mail, she delivers to the address, not the person named. I had one go to a house five doors away because the vendor got the first digit wrong. I have to say, if you want useless, it's hard to beat UPS - phantom "attempted" deliveries, creeping up to the house and sneaking a "we missed you" slip through the letterbox instead of ringing the doorbell, multiple missed pickups, rescheduled deliveries - they make Hermes look like the gold standard.
