You can't expect the announcement they make at the show before the show! Accurascale are not like government ministers, whose speech to the House is leaked beforehand by the BBC The farm must have enough tractors for the moment surely............at some point we have to start paying off mortgage rather than buy models........the heating on might be nice too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The individual posted it onto a well known Facebook group with much glee about 30 mins before the actual announcement. The same individual has been boasting that he will pull the same trick this year, while referencing our fondness for potatoes. You know, cos we are Irish and all. So, let’s see what he leaks this year. Cheers! Fran 5 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Well as someone who was there when it was announced and not checking Facebook it was definitely a surprise to me and I'll be sure to stay off facebook before for a nice surprise. Any idea when you are doing it or are preferring not to say? Either look forward to a natter tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
