Anybody built a Testors kit ?

I saw this in the window of the charity shop next door for £1.50 Anybody built one of their kits before.



The Cobra seems a lot bigger than the Huey, that cant be right

In this link (6) http://www.helikitnews.com/issues/hkn014.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it says they are Italeri kits and should cost 25 quid

Ahhh......a Floyd fan...

Yeah Best band that ever was. Viper will be here to argue that point I am sure but I think we all know the truth Roger Waters is going to tour The Wall this year people are saying, I dont know if it is true. If he gets David Gilmour involved I`l be advertising a kidney in the `for sale` section

Any way best stay on topic, you know what the MODS are like

If anyone fancies a swap on these let me know. If not they are in the que behind the Sabre and Desert Hawk.

Breath, breath in the air
don't be afraid to care............

Ooops, wrong board?

Are Testors kits not just Italeri in a boxing for the US? Apparently the 1/48 Raptor is just that.

More fans

Thats what it says in the link I found. Is that a good or bad thing ?

Seems like a bargain Ben,3 kits for £1.50.

[benyboy]

I think so. I got the Revell UH-60A I am building for the GW1 build at the same time for £1.50
Any way that charity shop owes me a few bargins. My ex gave them plenty of my stuff a few years ago Even my wooden aircraft I had saved from school
I had to buy it back I still walked 23 miles to raise money for them a few months back It must have been the guilt of buying the pilots goggles from there for ten bob and selling them for a little bit more

Miles of topic now I guess we are all bord tonight

Floyd and motorhead arnt in the same league, as motorhead are speed rock so I will let you of on that one You cant get much better than the albums 1916 or orgasmatron

Any way back to modelling , Ive built a few testors kits in my time. I did the bronco in 48th and there P-51 in 48th, they are not bad but what you have to remember is that pretty much all testors kits are the old (and I do mean old) Italeri kits so the quality isnt all that good. But there were some realy nice kits and if you pick them up realy cheap then all I can say is BARGAIN

so all I can say is

"we don't know when we're licked, but we turn lead to gold
we know alchemy. We bring you rock and roll
We are the ones you love, or we're the ones you hate
We are the one always too early or too late
We are the first and we just still might be the last
We are Motorhead-born to kick your ass"

we are motorhead from the album of the same name
