Ok chaps, so a run through of arrivals over the last three weeks or so.
They are a combination of museum and discount bookstore visits, second-hand eBay auctions wins, Lidl sales, discount vouchers from a national chain of hobby stores and very good prices for new kits.
In terms of the kits, I reckon that compared to the 'usual' prices they go for, I got these ranging from 20-50% cheaper than 'normal' and in a couple of cases they were the cheapest 'recent purchases' on eBay. Unfortunately, Royal mail did not treat a couple of them well despite good packing but fortunately none of the kits appear to be damaged.
Hope you like the look of them!

Got this from RAF Hendon...seeing as entrance is free, I thought I would support them by buying it (I damaged it)
Bought this whist on holiday from a store in the Lake District, as I want to learn more about the war in the Pacific
And now for the kits, in no particular order...and no, I did not pay the label price where you can see them!!
One can never have too many Typhoons!! I think I'm up to seven, with a special one still on advance order with Airfix.
A Lidl purchase......they need to change their range, as I now have all the ones they do, aside from the Cutty Sark! :smiling5:
This a very big box, even by 'combo' standards!!
These go for up to £30 on eBay, although low-mid £20s is the norm. This though only cost me £15 delivered.
This one was very cheap brand new and only cost £27 delivered.
This is probably my favourite and whilst not cheap, comes with a 100+ page book on Spitfires in the RAAF, which would probably cost £15-20 if published on its own. There are also so many decal options (21 to be exact), that it might actually be worth me getting three of four more Overtrees kits from Eduard to make the most of them

She's a beauty. I pray that she's quieter, (a lot quieter), than my female!! Boy do we know we have her!!!! Behind those eyes may hide a she devil. On the other hand she may be a lovely little girl dog that you don't even know she's there!! Good luck with the training!! (And count your fingers frequently!!!!!)

Today, I received 2 x airbrushes from SteveT, (cheers Steve). And the ever so decent chap gave me lots pf useful stuff I have't as yet got around to obtaining. Namely, weathers 'stuff' pigments, pencils etc. So thank you Guest I'm really quite chuffed and will be trying them out hopefully tomorrow to see which one I will use for what!!
Plan is, one for primer only and the other for varnish only with the H&S Ultra for everything else!! We'll see!! :rolling:
