Yeah occasionally I'll have a gander. those guys do some great prices I must say. Last two years at the Melb Expo their stand was certainly one of the best.

Cheers

Maybe some liquidation prices coming soon then eh? (quote: Daniel)


It's my mate's shop, so I hope not for his sake! Sales have dropped right off though since the economic crisis kicked in, forcing him to see how it goes till christmas, then make the fateful decision ...myself, I've bought more from him now in the last month than in the year to date to try and help keep him in business!

Some good hauls here guys, massive in Evan's case! I hope your shop doesn't close Evan, I hate to see model shops go. It seems to be the opposite here, so maybe the reccession has turned people to look at other ways to pass the time. My local shop's sales are up.
Gepp, nice buys, if a little complex for a first build.
BB, nice to hear the Mossie might be arriving at last. I had oredered one over a year ago, but cancelled on principal after the massive increase in price. Doubt I'll get one, though it would be nice!

Just got a new Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109E-4/E-7 TROP model, and I'm already finished putting the wings and elevators. Will post pics ASAP since my camera's battery is dead.

Ok I can see the top one is the night fighter but what about the bottom one? What is the story with all those "Antennas?" on the wings and fuselage?
