I went into my local modelzone to pick up a couple of tins of paint on Wednesday and nearly walked into a great big pile of boxes, what a stupid place to put them i thought. When i looked closer they were a load of Revell kits, some with over 50% off. I picked up the 1/32 Ju87 and then put it back when i noticed the 1/72 Victor for silly money, with it tucked under my arm i went in search of my paint but they don't do Humbrol stuff in this store, Oh well !.
I did see just as i was about to pay, the new RAF colours that Tamiya have just released to go with the new 1/32 spitfire so i picked them up instead.
The victor has been started and I'm going to do the Gulf war version.

A good start to the year
Two days into 2010 and i nearly have two more additions to the collection. The Airfix Corsair is finished all bar the doors that cover the arrestor hook and tail wheel and the Airfix Javelin is just awaiting the windscreen to be fixed in place and the gear bay doors. I must say that I'm impressed with both of these kits.
The new Airfix Mk IX Spitfire was a lovely kit to put together but the decals really tested my patience. I am so glad that i chose to do the "PFT" version and not the boring (same as everyone else) J.EJ, i think the d-day stripes would have pushed me over the edge.
