Make 'em jealous! What did you just get?


Recommended Posts

I suppose taking a fellow club member who is currently pretty much housebound out on a trip to a model shop was never likely to end well in respect of GBH to the old debit card, but hey ho!

As an aside, if you're ever in south west Suffolk, head into Long Melford and visit Model Behaviour, they're just off the main thoroughfare through the village (Little St Mary's) in St Catherine's Road. There's loads of tea shops in Long Melford, but we headed back to Sudbury and TTT Motorcycle Village to indulge our other passion. It's a warehouse type place with not only almost literally hundreds of second hand bikes, but also a very decent cafe area where all day breakfast was taken. A rather nice day out all in all.

Always interesting to closely examine pictures like this to see how it was knocked out, obviously there is so much noise from Russia and Ukraine

on the Propaganda front to bolster opinion and support for their sides, this one looks like it has a tow cable fitted top the front towing attachment.

So maybe it broke down and was destroyed by it's crew to stop it falling into the hands of the other side. Either way it's impossible to tell if it was

in Russian or Ukraininan hands at the time as they both use Soviet era equipment, hopefully that is soon to change.

Thanks, that's given me an idea where I can put my 1/32 Me 262 when I get around to putting it together. :D

That is none other than George Clooney's Aunt Rosemary, better known for "this old house" long before Shakin Stevens got his hit with it

I'm getting my Finnish Brewster Buffalo Tommorrow, Jadlam Racing has never let me down, I'll dig into that as soon as it arrives, after my Thursday Morning 6k run of course.

On order I have another classic ship Kit and book combination on the way. As you can see, the box is rip torn, so the collectors didn't bid on it, so I got it for a reasonable price

as I'm building it. The parts are still sealed in the old poly bag.

The book is on it's way, and I'll give a brief on it in time.

After visiting Trashco in Helston I decided this was a necessity.

Felt like that when we bowled into Lidl in Crewe this morning(Mrs M likes the wine).

Didn't speak the local lingo(Romanian/Polish/WHY,other Eastern European languages are available).

It sounded like we'd arrived in an Eastern European town rather than one less than ten miles from The Towers.
