I can swap a tin of it for some 5-colour lozenge paint. My local shop only has the 4 colour and I need some for my SSW. I’ve got an old tin of Compucolour lozenge, but the colours are way off. I'll have a pint of what he's been drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adey m Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Great little distraction from chocolate easter eggs and cute fluffy chicks Tony. Your Hustler artwork did not have me fooled though as it is too ' normal ' and restrained for the American issued Airfix kits. These are what it should have been like .................... Wave him off he's got the wrong undercarriage .................. It's getting quite hot back here skipper but we've put paid to that U-boat. Good job our engine is the wrong way round, if you put it into a dive skip we might be able to blow the flames out ............. I've put paid to that Fokker skip ............. Just keep firing those guns everyone ....................... what are we shooting at captain ? .......our own kites by the look of things .............. It's not still April 1st is it ? cheers, adey Edited April 2, 2018 by adey m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever219 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Wish I still had my RAF Argosy; the box art depicting a couple of palletised Land Rovers being dragged out of the back of a crud’n’custard example by parachute low over the desert was an absolute classic that Roy Cross should be truly proud of.

Andy Robbins Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I remember that one! Dad built it for me. I must have been 6 or 7. Sadly the moulds were wrecked when Airfix tried one of their daft ‘make it easy so kids buy kits again’ ideas in the 80’s. Remember Snap, Glue’n’ Velcro?

But use an old cheap one because of the clogging, and clean twice a day Signal toothpaste works better, and you can thin it with Gunze thinner.

Andy Robbins Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 All joking aside, wouldn’t the Argosy have been fantastic? Tony’s got that box to an absolute ‘t’. It just screams ‘buy me!’ How many kids in Woolies would there be begging their parents for one in lieu of a month’s pocket money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
