This should be good, I'll be building 1 Vickers and a Land Rover.

Oh, and leading this build (ouch!)

I'm aware of the a few of the ex JB models but not the full range, can anyone elaborate for me?

Thanks

Paul

Thanks guys, very helpful.

I'd forgotten about the Saladin and Saracen, I'll pop into my LMS tomorrow lunch time and see what they have.

Cheers

Paul

Sgt.Squarehead · Posted: Thu 22 Jan 2009 22:17 pm Post subject:

I can recommend the Saladin & Saracen, they are quite basic kits but they look very nice when finished and are remarkably solid.....Indeed these two are the only post 1945 vehicles in my collection, I liked them too much to let them go!

For what it's worth & all the best

Thanks Sqt,

I'll have a look out for those - one more question I know my LMS has a few JB models left hanging around as well as the new airfix boxings, is this build limited to the airfix boxing?

stuzzar · Posted: Fri 23 Jan 2009 12:24 pm Post subject:

This will be Airfix re-boxings only.

Cheers

Stu

can anyone recommend a decent choice for a first ever "non winged" build?

depending on other commitments i might chip in with a HT land Rover and trailer. want to do an RAF one anyhow so this could be the time.

having seen a couple of the light armoured stuff though a Vickers might be on the cards

is there any date yet please?- apologies if i have missed it somewhere

stuzzar · Posted: Fri 23 Jan 2009 13:52 pm Post subject:

The date thing is down to me forgetting to ask Ratch or the Admin chaps to set up the relevant section

I am sure that it will soon be in hand.

I am going to lock this thread now chaps, could the discussion please be carried on over in the chat thread which has been created by Spudgun here

Cheers

Stu

Stu - I've just unlocked this thread as the link in your above post takes me to a "The topic or post you requested does not exist" message

I shall hopefully join in with this one, but it really depends if I can find a kit in time!
