thats a cool Fw 190..dident know they had that.. one up for ordering

Airframes · 07-23-2009, 09:47 PM

That FW190 looks interesting Keith, and for £14 it's a bargain. I didn't know Revell had one out, and at that price, I'm interested myself! Do you know if it's a new kit? It's a bit less than their noraml prices, and the box art etc looks like Revell Germany.

I'd be willing to bet with Revell Germany's track record, it's the Hasegawa kit. You may just have stumbled upon a gem!

109 is good kit Keith....not sure if the 190F-8 is the Hasegawa one or not, if it is.....good buy!

Hey Keith, are you going to challenge Jan and start building models with number "lucky13"? (Just noticed that both kits you ordered are shown on boxes with tactical number 13.)

ellis995 · 07-24-2009, 09:23 AM

Thanks guys

did'nt notice that they are " 13's "

i got both kits from modelsforsale.com

the Fw190 is dated from the 90's.

the me109 is also dated from the 90's

Picked up these two this week really looking forward to building them.

Nice one PurplePenguin!

Great buys PP. The P51 is a really nice kit, although the prop is ever so slightly on the 'heavy' side, but not really noticeable. The P47 is good too, from what I've seen of Karl's (rochie), could be a re-boxed Academy kit. If you're seeing your mate at Northenden, could you see if he's got an Italeri 1/48th scale Tornado F3?!! It's out of production, but there might still be some around, especially at places like his shop. ( Can't find your post where you gave me the address details I'm afraid!)

Hmmmm i've never seen a single Italeri kit in his shop, did see a 1:48 Revell Tornado there though for £8.00 think it was a GR.4 though can't be sure.

I've started the P-47 its been great so far, one of my favorite fighters from WWII i love the shape of the body this big brutish unforgiving piece of engineering, wonderful

Nice buys PP!. Here's my latest models to the collection, both as a surprise from the wife

Also grabbed a copy of JEJ's book for 50cents today, bargain!

Wayne Little · 07-25-2009, 05:41 AM

Some good buys there Guys....got this one today, some great and useful info that confirmed some stuff that I thought to be correct which till now hadn't been addressed!

Lucky13 · 07-25-2009, 05:57 AM

Great hauls chaps!

Heinz · 07-25-2009, 06:50 AM

Great buys guys!

Airframes · 07-25-2009, 12:12 PM

Good hauls guys. Andy, if that's a first, or even second edition of Johnson's book, for 50 Cents it's a bargain of a lifetime - they're commanding bl**dy high prices in some places nowadays! Even the last published edition is around £20 now. He lived only a few miles from me, until he died a few years back.
