Ok well i'll change that to 'definitely will be starting my B-25 J come Monday' that should prevent any anger being vented my way

Oh no dear boy, not anger! we might take the p.. er... we might pull your leg, but never anger. Well, unless it's your round and you do a runner of course!!
EDIT: BTW, which part of Manchester are you in?

The North side of Manchester not too far from the city centre which is great because theres a pretty descent sized Modelzone in the city centre which a friend of mine works at...meaning i get to abuse his 30% discount

Ah! I'm the other side, Macclesfield, in Cheshire. I went into Manchester at the end of April, first time in years, on my way back from 'up north'. Went to the fantastic model shop on Deansgate - only to find it's now a bl**dy travel agent!!
I was devastated, as it used to be the equivalent (almost) of Hannant's, had virtually everything that the smaller model shops, such as my local one, don't stock. I've used Model Zone for a mail order job once, to get the 1/32nd scale Hunter at £9.99, instead of £25 and they have some good deals occassionally, but I don't really class them as a 'proper' model shop, more a sort of supermarket, with some good stuff some of the time.

Well....cough...cough...I...eerrrmmm....you see....ahum....the thing is....oh b*ll*cks...! I bought this one for the MTO/North Africa GB....

You've been and gone and done it again, haven't you? How many times have we told you, no more models, or sweeties until next month! You know it's not good for you, your blood pressure increases every time you start drooling and dribbling over all those bits of plastic, and the decals of course. Don't forget to take your medication, put the parts back in the box, then climb back into your cage, now there' a good chap.
And anyway, how the @**k are you going to manage three fairly large 'twins' in three months, eh?

Lucky13 · 07-10-2009, 06:13 PM

Speed?

Maglar · 07-10-2009, 08:58 PM

The goodies came! 1/48 RAF field crew (great set with nice dio pieces), Jerry Can set for my P61 dio and others, yellow fine turf and bushes, dark earth paint and well the other is a Wojtek special. Dont mind the 2nd picture the rest of you......

Wayne Little · 07-11-2009, 08:50 AM

Nice buys Corey!

Airframes · 07-11-2009, 09:46 AM

Good stuff Corey, the ICM figures are very good. Thought you'd get the U.S. ones for your P61 though.

Maglar · 07-11-2009, 10:23 AM

I think 3 is all I need, anymore and that would be pushing it. I got the RAF set for a possible spitfire dio later. Also with the P61, dont want to crowd the base, its easy to do that!

Yes i agree about Modelzone its over priced too it's not a bad place to call into if your desperate for something or just for a general look around, theres a great little indepedant model shop i've found in the south of manchester, lots of older kits in there and i've picked up some really hard to find kits in there for good prices. The man that runs it got hold of around 400-500 kits by doing a house clearance when an elderly man had passed away, the man had apparently been hording kits away for around 25 years not making them just putting them to aside so it's a great little model shop for picking up some absolute great finds.

Spill the beans then? Who, where etc? I used to occassioanlly get to , oh heck, forgotten the name, something like JH or FS models? At Droylsden or Failsworth I think, they were fairly good, but it's years since I was there. My local shop isn't too bad in general, but they don't have some of the brands such as Academy. Her prices are good though, and most of the major brands (Hasegawa, Tamiya, Revell) she can get within a few days. I was quite amazed when I got the Italeri 1/48th Boston there at £16.99, as it's anywhere from £19.99 to £24.99 elsewhere, including the mail order 'discount' places!
Must admit though, that Hunter from Model Zone was a steal, I should have bought two or three!

Lucky13 · 07-11-2009, 05:22 PM

Well, as already Terry the old boy has been informed by text, I got another one of these beauties on ebay. It was buy it now for 37 of the Queens best folding, but since I already had 27 smackaronies on my PayPal account, I paid only a tenner for it....

Didn't tell him thought that the shipping is free....(takes cover)
