Sorry to hear that digger. Hang in there.

Got lucky - browsing the dread site evilbay I found a 1/48 Avenger by Academy for silly money (£10 inc p&p!!) because the box is FUBAR. Should be here by the 10/10.

I'd like to boost this thread a bit to see if there is still interest. I know I haven't been building much in the last year or so but I've been working on cleaning up my backlog of unfinished kits so I can start fresh next year. What a laugh, but still...

I'll have to find another kit - finished the Avenger for the Birthday Bash.

[aur0ra145]

I'm interested to see what we end up deciding on. I still need to finish my F-86. It's been a busy year with little time for the modelling bench.

[Quax]

Happy to join in but what was the final decision as to topic?

Gonna be voting on it mate, end of the year

[digger303]

I just had to go back and reread this whole post and it occurs to me I never said thank you for the kindness.
THANK YOU ALL.

So as to the topic decision was it decided as a Pacific build or a Tamiya ?

[Garion77]

I'll try getting in if it's not too late when I'm able to get me a new compressor

The pacific theatre was for Matthew’s buddy build ending Dec 31st.
I think we are headed to the anything Tamiya , but we can entertain voting on other topics

[Stokesy44]

Tamiya are rubbish. Horrible kits

[RangerNeil]

Somebody needs to spend a year buildjing nothing but Amodel kits.....

TBH I love Tamiya. It suits my MO. Call me lazy but I like new tool kits from manufacturers who know how to engineer a kit for the builder. Their 1/32 Corsair and Mustang are absolute miracles of engineering. The inner wing section of the Corsair is possibly the most beautifully designed sub-assembly I have ever seen.

I'm in your camp, life is too short to mess with horrible old ill fitting kits and the stash is never going to get built if I don't impose some restrictions upon myself.

True. I need to have a purge too.
However - if we go for a Tamiya theme I just got hold of their 1/48 IL-2!!

Oh very nice.
I was thinking of building another sub.
Purge is just a dirty word...

Excellent, I don't even have to buy any kits!

[Twokidsnosleep]

I haven’t even looked for something yet, but yes finding a Tamiya in the stash is easy

Same here!
Are we going to tell Tamiya its running??

Might be a nice idea - just as a mark of respect for the man.
