I dare not mate. Had a quick look on my hotmail yesterday and saw I'd won something I'd forgotten I'd even bid for Managed to get away with sneaking in my BEA Routemaster + trailer on Tuesday (I admitted to getting a new phone battery which was also in the mail) plus the dratted 1:400 Vanguard still hasn't arrived from the States and my B.O.A.C van and a metre of road are in transit Colin's Grandads hammer is finally starting to take it's toll

Hi Eddie,

Just a thought for the future although you may have done it already, is to look out for a Toy and Train Fair in your area as you can pick up some bargins now and again compared to other sources,

I have not been into models for many years but i have had the Urge [steady rog] to build a Harrier GR7 platic kit but having seen the prices in the larger scales i am going to have a go of one in 1/72nd scale and see how it goes,

Cheers,

Roger.

Now that is getting desperate. Couldn't interest you in some 1:1 scale potholes for that by any chance??

Hi DaveB

Buses aren't my cup of tea mate - I used to work with a guy who drove them on his days off, and he was to say the least, a bit anal about them . Looks like a nice model tho'.

I think the hammer(tm) may need an upgrade at this rate
Rgds,

Colin

TBH, I'm not a bus fan either although I do like the association with BEA and BOAC. For something different, I picked this up too.. http://www.gascupboard.co.uk/milk-float ... -4326.html (didn't pay that for it either) The really good thing about 1:76/OO gauge is that there aren't the aircraft to go with them. Nice as this would be, it would be financially disasterous

1/72 is close Dave and OO is commonly mixed with aircraft of that scale

There is a 1/72 VC 10 kit

HAL voice on.....

'Don't do it, Dave'

HAL voice off.....

Yes mate.. point taken but, and this is the BIG but, I don't do kits anymore. Don't have the time, the patience or indeed the steady hand I could pit the lot against my 1:72 Lanc and Halifax CMk8 but they'd look a little odd.. especially as the Lanc is a bomber The price of 1:200 die cast aircraft models is prohibitive (a lot more expensive than the 1:72 Corgi Aviation Archive but a lot better quality) so until I win the lottery (which I don't do) that avenue will remain closed
With all my trucks, I'll have to make a car park instead
