If I violate any rules with this thread please feel free to delete it, and please accept my sincere apologies.

I have one of these:

but I never touched it. Now I decided to sell it. Anyone willing to buy it for 8 Euros + shipping?

By the way, how about opening a buy/sell thread for RAF, and aviation related items?

I'm actually slightly tempted, but promised myself no more kits until I:

a) Buy a semi decent compressor
b) Finish the ones in progress

A diorama though...hmmmm....

It seems a bit odd that it is in 1:76 scale when most aircraft are in 1:72 scale (or larger). I wonder what Airfix were thinking when they came out with this one?

I remember making 1/76 Airfix tanks as a boy, I think vehicles are 1/76 rather than 1/72 because it equates to HO OO railway scale, although I could be remembering it wrongly.

No, you are correct Deathwing. 1/76th is OO scale. Thats why they did it.

Nice to know the old memory's not playing tricks. :)

Anyway, I think this set would probably be more (personally) apt for a diorama! :oops: :D
