Got to get one, or more, of those Hurricane kits, along with their new Spitfire Mk1 - just to 'bulk out' my (eventual) BoB 'Hardest Days' collection of course !
I mean, it wouldn't be cricket to have (as currently planned) 15 Luftwaffe subjects, and just four RAF, would it ?
Hmm, there goes my 'No more kits' rule then .................

 

[Lucky13]

I'm sure that you can find a clause in there, somewhere, that allow you to do future investments, without breaking any rules...

 

[Wayne Little]

Yeah Terry, you're in mate!

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU INVOKE THIS RULE ON YOURSELF?!?!

 

[Lucky13]

I think that it happened in a pub, under the influence of Hippocroccofrog....or if it was the other way around, I'm not sure!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Trying to get one to move in with him was he?

Isn't that what Churchill meant by "the few"?

Good point!

 

[Lucky13]

Not a liquid kinda 'few' then, no?

 

[Airframes]

There's 'Few', and then there's 'No ****ing way is that enough'!
I mean, four against fifteen is a bit of a stretch - four against fourteen, maybe, as that's a 'sporting chance', but fifteen, and before breakfast ??!!

Interesting. Didn't know those were available. Have to keep that in mind.

You know you'll eventually break down and buy another kit Terry, so just do it!

I took a look at the Hobbycraft F-111 I have in the stash to possibly build it for the new group build and was so appalled at the ugly panel lines that I just had to go and order these two. A huge improvement over the surface quality of the Hobbycraft kit. Now to decide if I want to do a 111 for the group build and if so, which one.

Any one want a Hobbycraft F-111 cheep? ..........George?...........
