Saw the box at £24 for 1/48th scale so I picked it up - heavy!
Asked to have a look inside - 2 WHOLE Buccaneer kits.
So that will be one RAF and one FAA

Does anyone know if the museum is open for visitors or did the hurricane

(black-green) and Hull red. BOth of these color are much darker than
the colors on the camo sheet, or on the boxtop. Can someone give me

Just picked up the Revell CH-54 and I was wondering what color the Army
version should be painted in. The instructions call for a mix of Revell
colors and I have no idea what the result would look like.
Thanks,

 Like the subject line says, do partially built kits sell?  I've got a
few I need to pass along to a good home.  I saw a few on Ebay months
ago but none since.
 If there's potential, I'll post again with a list.

I got my Denford home and started to find out what it can do. I wa
