peebeep Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 We were away on a short trip last week, whilst on a foray into Toys 'r Us seeking a birthday present I stumbled upon a little pile of these and came away with a couple. Would have been rude not to at £1.99 a pop and all that's missing is the paint brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Symmons Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Today finally found the Airfix Fw 190A-8 in "Gift Pack" form. Not really interestee in the paints & brush but no-doubt they'll come in useful sometime. It seems the Fw 190 is now only available in this gift pack form.Also brought the RAF Air Sea Rescue Launch (A05281). Should go well with the E-Boat also from Airfix.Also got some more Tamiya surface primer, Acrylic retarder, (Paint in SA dries tooo quickly in summer time, especially when airbrushing) and some Decal Glue.Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2B Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We were away on a short trip last week, whilst on a foray into Toys 'r Us seeking a birthday present I stumbled upon a little pile of these and came away with a couple. Would have been rude not to at £1.99 a pop and all that's missing is the paint brushes. WoW that is a steal! And they are good kits too. I did the F.6 first, then the F.2A (basically the same kits). Finally I did another F.2A but converted it to an F.1A. I think another Lightning will be on the cards soon, possibly a F.3 conversion useless Airfix release 1 for me?? Not much in the way of model purchases for me the past couple of weeks but I did snap up a Revell 1:72nd NATO Ground Equipment Set that came up on a famous auction site at rather a reasonable price as they are as rare as hens teeth. If Airfix did this kit I wouldnt need to buy Revell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 @Paul Brown Wow, that's an amazing price! Toys R Us can't be making any profitable money from disconting a Starter Set, worth £9.99 (RRP), to £1.99! That's an absolute bargain. Maybe that particular kit was a bad seller. They shouldn't be at that price. They should nbe flying off the shelf!* Good find there, Paul Brown! 😀 *Get the joke? 'Flying' off the shelf! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The Lightning is a Series 3 kit so a Medium Starter Set probably RRP at about £15 but as PB said the paint brushes were missing so would be sold discounted as damaged stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Alright, £15.00, not £9.99. Even more of a discount, but I honestly don't think those kits should have had that much discount, due to a missing paint brush, in each kit. That's a hefty discount, good for the customer, but a bit silly. A paint brush could be picked up easily. Do think they are missing because a customer has been stealing them or the brushes missing was factory error? GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peebeep Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hmm, quite a conservative haul from SMW 17, but looking at recent additions that's no bad thing.The Matchbox items are in respect of my continuing quest to gather up all the armour kits. The Modelcollect kits are quite new and by a company new to the scene. I also bought some Zero paints for car projects I'd like to get under way.Looking at the Airfix stand there's some stuff I can;t wait to get my hands on, the Wellington, especially, looks sublime.

John Symmons Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Some more Vallejo colours, to many to mention here.Two bar clamps, My old wood-working one's were way too heavy.Four small pinch clamps.A fresh bottle of Revell glue. Really surprised at the cost of glue these days, used to be tanner (6d) or a quarter the price of an Airfix kit, the Revell glue cost the best part of a hundred Rand, that's about £4.75p at todays exchange rate.This fun is getting expensive, but it's still fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven_kerfoot Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Latest purchases are the Trumpeter HMS Roberts monitor in 1/350, the Takom 1/35 Soviet prototype tank Objekt 279 and Airfix 1/24 Mosquito. The Roberts will join the line first with the next kits I'm going to build after the 1/350 battleships I'm trundling through, (KGV, Tirpitz and Yamato just finished, Bismarck, New Jersey and Missouri to complete). With the Roberts will be Warspite, Queen Elizabeth and Belfast all in 1/350. It always makes sense to build a few ships at once due to the comonality of paints.
