I agree with Will,
It is a nice drive train installation, but.....lets be fair it is a tad (ohh really)over priced /valued. Peace mill would be better as that is some motor, as for the rest, well we all know we spend many hours building a model which in real terms we will never get back.


Just my opinion  ok2

One to watch out for. Seems that the Deans 'Britannia' kit Stan advertised a few weeks ago was sold and dispatched via the winged messenger. Although a tracked delivery service, it seems to have 'disappeared'. This may resurface (bad pun) as a bargain via car boots or the magic 'Flee'.

Another SeaPort / Dickie tug .... £400!!!!

Did read somewhere that for listing like these, they haven't actually got the item for sale, maybe awaiting stock, but they want to keep the listing active ... but at £400, they can get one airfreighted in direct from China!

                                Interesting  Large model kit of the Stingray

Then again, you could obtain one of these extremely rare kits from https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/stingray-135-kit/4909656472381232?referral_code=share_shop&merchantId=100426624643408&ref=mini_shop_storefront. The configuration makes installing a WTC quite difficult.

My favourite listing I’ve seen on eBay in a while, truly some top drawer rubbish here


Someone is trying to sell the lid off an old piece of firewood as a ‘hydroplane’ for £75
