    marcus69x I love WW2 meah!!!

    I've got some left over Airfix models from an old D-Day box set that I'll never get round to building and thought I'd ask you guys if anyone wants them?

    They're all 1:72 scale with packaging and instructions:

    88mm Gun & tractor (looks more like a half track to me)

    G.M.C CCKW 353

    L.C.V.P Higgins boat

    G.M.C. DUKW 353

    4 packs of soldiers (2x German & 2x Allies)


    1 pack per person unless they no-one wants em.

    1st come 1st served.

    PM me your address an I'll get 'em posted in the next few days.

    P.s. ( The first person to reply gets a pack of paints and a brush too) Whoo hoo!!! :)


    Cheers,
    Marcus

    Marcus, you don't have Humbrol 34, 81, 89, 99 or 196 do you ?

    ...Not for a model but for formation signs on the real thing !:)

    Hi Rich.

    Sounds interesting. What you working on?

    Of the list you mentioned I've got a 34. (cream/white)?

    They're only small tubs mind and some of the numbers have rubbed off the lids, but from what I can work out there's:

    93
    127
    103
    34
    12
    30
    33
    91
    113
    102
    63
    86
    53

    I'll send you the lot if you want?

    Cheers for the guys who requested them off me. Better than throwing them away (although after watching James May, I wish I had built them) :lol:

    Anyway, found the Coastal Defence Fort I got with the box set, and before it gets binned I thought I'd ask again.

    It's already built which is why I didn't offer it before. Still needs painting though.

    tied to the cherry tree which caught fire
    or the tips of swan vestas matches packed into into the back of a tate and lyle matchbox toy tanker set off by the aforementioned jetex fuse wire.

    But did that Airfix plastic stink when burnt!

    I'm not totally innocent, I remember having built and then blasted with an airgun a StuG and a Churchill. I never understood what was wrong with those models, the tracks wouldn't roll :huh:
