The other 'name' was a big one too, none other than the mighty "KM Bismarck, 1/600 Scale" again from Airfix (a handy manufacturer to find in the shops at this time of year). I will have a bit of work with this one as I want to create a 'waterline version', so it will be out with the hacksaw in the New Year, sanding and gluing a plasti-card bottom to her (see below):
Yes both kits are totally impractical for the "wargame table", but I suppose the KM Bismarck could make it as far as the "wargaming lawn" (one day), however that's not really the point of the gifts, as it is more for pure modelling pleasure and fun in traversing "memory lane"
;)
Hope 2014 is a good year for everyone!

Its very true about the Airfix brand being available this time of year!
I think they have gone all out to see the shops decked in red boxes.
Good on them!
A nice "BIG" haul Geordie. I hope you have some place to store them!
I think that even a 1/600 Bismarck may have more gaming potential than a 1/24 Spittie!
