A couple of floor to ceiling bookcases is massive to me, but I've done this before and misled on size LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something especially special about an old book, regardless of subject. Keep collecting and let the kids sort it out once you are gone - that's my philosophy !

I can't for the life of me recall the contemporaneous Frog box tops ... What, not even the one with the V-1 being tipped over by the Spitfire XIV? Which I think rather neatly brings us back on topic, as I for one would love to see a Griffon Spit in the eventual Kotare line-up.

AlanG Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Kevin. My response was aimed at if Kontare just focused totally on Spitfires at first as was suggested by doing all the Mk's. I would find that VERY boring VERY quickly. And until they did a different subject, they would be a 'one trick pony'. But each to their own.

Plenty of variety across the range, engines, equipment, camouflage, armament, etc But as you say, each to their own…. scvrobeson, Archimedes, Kagemusha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceFuel Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 A WNW quality Spit V, IX and XIV that slots in price between the Revell and Tamiya kits wouldn't exactly break my heart. Archimedes, MikeC and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
