RAF fighters spotted in German shop!
I had reason to pop into a nearby Aldi store this morning and was surprised to see a small range of Airfix kits. These are all packaged as starter sets and six different kits are available: Hurricane Mk.1, Curtiss Tomahawk, Gnat, Spitfire, Mustang and Cromwell tank. All are priced at £4.99 each. I think I was quite restrained in only buying the two kits pictured.....but I might go back!

Tim,
A couple of real bargains!
All the best,

And I needed them! Not, you're right. I didn't.
The Mustang really is top notch. Excellent buy.
Nice find- will check the one near me.
Cheers,
Pete.
Great restraint. Lovin' the Mustang too. They sell for more than double (anything between $26 and $40) in hobby shops here in NZ. I have not seen the Mustang though. The Spitfire and FW 190 is the mainstay of what is imported. Sometimes great bargains are to be had in supermarkets as they buy in bulk and discount in bulk too (more so if a line doesn't move)

I don't know if it's true or not but I heard that Orks make terrible pilots and are hopeless at model making, hence the lack of incentive for importers. :-)
Hilarious....The wife decided that we are doing our Christmas food shop tonight, and I said 'OK, so long as it's not ALDI, I'm not going into Aldi this week it will be mental!' Du-Oh!

How was I to resist?
Pete
It would be rude not to!

On of the other supermarkets had some of these kits a couple of years back - it's always worth a look from time to time.

Mrs Gow says "it serves you right..."
I may have to volunteer to help with the resupply of groceries between Xmas and New Year
The wife may smell a rat if I offer to go alone ;)

You'll never get away with it.
