Lawzer Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Mrs Lawzer was in the local Lidl and she phoned to ask which kits I wanted. Seemingly there were a few other ladies (and a chap) on their phones asking the same question......guess they are not going to last long.....

czechnavy Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi John Just been in to our Uttoxeter Lidl do a big shop after Scale Model World - there were still a few Zeros, several Yellowjack Gnats, Cromwell tanks, quite a few Fw 190s and Me 109Es and a single Mary Rose. No Spitfires left - bet the Grannies bought those ready for Christmas!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat fingers Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Aldi should have a selection of airfix kits from the 15 Dec at £4.99. Lidi has them in stock now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capri3 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Lidl had a stack of Me109's, Spitfires, Gnats, Zeros, Fw190's and Cromwells in their Wellington Road branch in Aberdeen last week. Managed to restrain myself and only came away with a Zero, Fw190 and a Gnat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oberleutnant Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) I bought 6! Their tactics certainly worked on me. Bought: 1/72 Spitfire 1/72 BF109 1/72 FW190 1/72 Zero Mary Rose Cromwell tank Given two away to a friend (BF109 and FW190) to try to encourage him into the hobby and am starting the Mary Rose which is really good fun so far! Fairly simple but enjoyable. I build 1/48 scale models but the spit and zero I've kept to use as a test best for maskol camo along with practising hand painted camo. Chipping and weathering template too. Great little deal at £5 especially as comes with glue, paints and brushes which you can never have enough of.

Mitch K Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My local Lidl had one box of kits and by the time I got there the selection was sparse! I picked up a Bf 109 and an FW 190. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'm a bit miffed Lidl here in Ireland haven't followed suit. Generally both Lidl and Aldi sell similar products in Britain and Ireland. But the only Airfix kits are some quick build from Aldi. No use to me. It's a pity because I fancy some FW190s and Zeros. Also a Mary Rose for a fun build. Oh well maybe next year.

Im hoping when Lidl gets here they will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Sherratt Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Thanks for the information everybody. I went to Aldi in Rugeley in my lunch break. They have a reasonable stock so I picked up a Mustang and a Hurricane for stock. Bargain! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telboy3510 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I've just picked up the Mustang and unfortunately in my kit the decals do not match the model. I have contacted Airfix to request the correct ones but the reference number are so smudged I'm not sure what I'm going to get. Can anybody see the number clearly!
