Airfix Lego Planes Flypast

I know they are kind of big (1/48+ scale) but they do make me smile (see below):


All for the kids (of course). The Me-109 and Spitfire £4.99 each from a Charity Shop. The Spitfire was a replacement for an earlier one that "got lost". The BAE Hawk Trainer (the plabe in black at the back) was £2 from a "car  boot sale". Mega bargain.

Note: From the same "car boot sale" I restrained myself from acquiring seven 1/1000 WW2 IJN Yamato Battleships .. part of me still thinks it was an 'opportunity lost' rather that a 'sensible head' on for once. Maybe it was the fact I could not sneak them into the house without the rest of the family "seeing me"!

    You passed on the seven Yamatos? Have you learned nothing from me?

    For a kid to get into modelling I think they are a fantastic start

    PS Tim, When I saw the Yamato and her six sisters I thought of you .. even for spare parts, but unless you were thinking fictional what if there was no 1922 Washington Naval Teart .. I have two already (Yamato and Mushashi)

    We both know it was the right call!
