Something definately stinks..... Went thru all the boxes last night. Started with the A-10 because the guy who sold said he didn't know if it was all there.. A quick look thru the Tescos veg bag the parts were in showed a pair of fuselage halves, some wings, tails and engines and many other bits. On closer inspection last night the 2 fuselage halves are both the same side, only one wing (if that) is there, but on the bright side, I have lots and lots of American bombs and rockets.....shame I don't generally do American aircraft.... I seem to remember once hearing that all appendages on the A-10 were interchangable, port to starboard.....unfortunately not true of the fuselage, lol The F3 I bought has a couple of Alarms missing and up to 2 maybe 3 tail fins.... But I didn't buy it to build, but for parts...and all the ones I want are there Everything else looks ok tho... |

How about putting the fuselage half on a board in a frame `Squadron Prints style` :D |

Builder of aircraft, any scale from 1:1 to 1:144!

Sounds like some proper bargains! I didn't get there as early as I'd hoped, due to certain persons demanding a breakfast Mcmuffin stop! Came away with a Gannet, an Invader and a Dak to restore/get annoyed at/burn with fire, depending. Also loads of luftwaffe decals, some anti flash Victor decals for a future project ;), some Sea Vixen ones to replace the ones falling off mine, some RAF V-bomber patches too cheap to resist, oh and... A Vulcan Nav Radar's panel.... |

Oops...she found out last night I spent nearly £80 at the weekend.....supposed to be saving money... I tried to use women's logic by telling her I'd actually saved money cos they were all on sale and cheap.....That didn't work. I think the big problem is, like most women, she doesn't understand the modellers natural urge to "stash". |

Yes, I accidently bought one too. I needed some white paint and B&H only take cards if you spend over £10, so I had no choice. Besides, I want it to go alongside my Gladiator in 3 sqn markings... |

I got the crappy Airfix one because it had 3sqn as an option. I do plan to do the much better (and bigger) Revell 1/48 one sometime tho.... |
