Oh no , I used to love that mad old ******!! Anyway ” as it appens ” RIP Jim –you gave joy to millions…..( Hope there’s not a No Smoking sign on the Pearly Gates )

Yep thats great !! I just picked it up on Cosfords Facebook page .

A bit like Napoleons retreat from Wigan –Got there & found it was shut!!

OOOPs –cutting in again, thanks for paint tip–I also got a 1/72 AW Seahawk from Local Maplins for £3.75 ( Airfix) . Happy hunting!!

I have a Peugeot 308 1.6 petrol Turbo 150bhp Automatic ( Yea I swapped the big Dodge Avenger) Service intervals every 2 yrs or 20.000 miles . No car needs an Air filter every 4000 miles ( unless its a 1959 Hillman Minx)

Yea , as stated , Halfords grey Acrylic primer is quite brilliant for model kits . Went to TK Maxx in Swindon today among the Toys was a Revell 1/48 kit of Berlin Airlift C-47, build as USAF or RAF. Reduced from £29.99 to £9.99, so I snaffled it up. The main base colour is Aluminium , so it looks like a Halfords rattle can in this colour to save me a lot brush work. Dont when I’ll get started , as I am helping Grandson with a WW 1 ” trenches ” diorama ” at the moment –some thing to do with his school home work!! . ( Didn’t mean to hi-jack post–Good luck with Spitfire)

I blame the silly American ” Long Shorts ” syndrome ——Can someone tell me why American men of all ages , think that 2 ladies skirts on their legs , looks good . Their welding was probably as good as their dress sense!!

And yet another Big !! RAF 4 engine Bomber…
