    I don't think there are any others so glad to have on board.

          I'll join you guys in this fun GB/modelling test too.
          Saw that Italeri also has starter sets of their kits.

                Peter,
                Apart from the included brush what would be the permitted tool list or could I use whatever tools I wanted as long as no extra materials are used?

                  Tools permitted will be the minimum of what is needed ie : knife,spure cutter and sanding stick or what ever you have to hand but it has to basic.

                    Thanks Peter

                    Dave - good find on that TKS, I like them. Just been having a look though and they don't include glue outside Poland

                        Is that one a pure starter kit or just a normal kit with paints included as it must say on the box starter set or equivalent.
                        And to clarify the rules a bit further it must be no bigger than the 1\72 scale but it's not limited to aircraft,tanks and cars the Revell 1\1200 ships can join in.

                          Don't think I shall bother with this one thanks

                          I would just note that limiting it to 1/72 or smaller means you won't be seeing any cars as they are 1/32

                            My fault as I forgot about the cars I have done plenty so I should have known.
                            So once again it's any starter set that says starter on the box regardless of the scale but with Revell it says model set.
                            Scales to be included are 1\72,1\76,1\32,1\1\44 and 1\1200
                            Or any box that have paints and glue included in the kit.
                            So sorry If I am starting to confuse people.
