thanx barry

*** No problem Adz,I will try and update it as and when,sometimes things change a bit,when is the toy & model fair this year ? usually good for future model issues,with Airfix really trying hard and under new management it will be interesting to follow the progress,spares are still coming from 'Marfleet,Hull' address despite the factory being flattened,somebody said that parts are shipped into the UK and distributed from a Portakabin on site ! sounds interesting,any Hull residents on the forum ?

Paint supplies seem to have improved locally with tinlets back on the shelves.
