| Lucky @&*@$*& !!! Definitely a great bargain mate - I saw a tatty copy of his 'Full Circle' a few months back, a re-print from around the mid '70's, on a second-hand book stall for £15, so heaven knows what your 'Wing Leader' would fetch!! Of course, I guess you're like me, just want the book, and not too bothered about 'colectors' values, but good to know it's got value too.

| It's amazing how much certain books can go for. I have a copy of "Coomalie Charlies Commandoes" which I picked up second hand for $20, every time I see it on ebay it usually goes for $110+. Same for "Whispering Death" by Parnell, I nearly blew with excitment when I grabbed that one for $15! But in the end I'm like you Terry, I want the books for the info inside, not for its resale value.

| Wildcat.. The stuka will be a great build for you, but that coirsair. I tried it and I stopped at the part with the folding wings, its constructed poorly. Also I had a mould shortage which blew, but the Stuka comes out beautiful!!!
