Pre-Christmas bargains

This lot was a wee present for myself which conveniently arrived on Christmas Eve.  Not a bad result at well under £3 a kit including postage.  I have owned some of these gems before - mostly decades ago!  These include the Airfix He 111, Hs 129 and Mossie, and the MB Fw190.  The StuG III and Minicraft  P-38 currently infest my box files in some quantity.
UPDATE 7 April 2013: 
 I've sold the Havocs, Mossie, Fw190, Stug and one of the Hs129s. 
 I'm currently building the Me163 and Bf109.

    Don't worry Steve - there are air holes so it can breathe!

    Oh boy, thats a super haul! You don't see many Bostons/Havocs around!

    The Henschel is another one of those kits that would be great on the table for those Eastern Front games, two of them really rips.

    The Dak always rocks, and can fill most periods.

    Ten out of ten Tim.


    Lucky sod...Mutter mutter

    Indeed - including some I had no hope of being able to afford when they were new!

    A goodly haul Tim, I recently stuck my first Airfix plane together (pictures on the blog to follow).

    I fear whatever it is that you have, may be catching.

    I look forward to seeing your photos. I thought I'd shaken off this affliction - it seems that not only have I failed so to do but I'm a 'carrier' as well! My condolences.

    Not much chance of that - my 'toy room' is already the largest room in the house!
