Well I wasnt planning to get me one of these.....BUT:

Went into Ely model shop today for a look around, and inquired as to whether they had any Sea Vixens in? Only one in stock, and reserved for collection.

1 minute later the bloke it was reserved for walked in and said he didnt want it!

So my Dad decided it was fate and bought it for me - I think the first model I have had NO influence in buying! :lol:

Yeah that's the one problem with not buying it yourself - it was swiftly nabbed off me and taken away for Xmas :'(


Still - I suppose I should get on and finish my B-1B.......and my Spitfire......and my AC-130....and my.......

I finally managed to get to the local model emporium today to collect mine - looks like a cracking kit, Airfix really seem to have improved their game.
