      Mostly 1/72. UK types 1930-1960. Some US/German WW2 stuff also. Various makes and detail/decal sets.

    4. Mad McCann

      Mad McCann

      You have my sympathies. I have just seen the pictures from Keswick on the news. Just had a sneaky look on the raw computer forecast and the rain does stop soon after midnight, if that is any help.

      Police have declared a major incident. Do I have the alcoholic beverage that I have before work phone?

      Me....the theme from Get Carter!

  22. Found an old kit for a Caley 60 at Workington. Could be a challenge, but what a goal upon completion. May require much skill though!??

    1. Simon Moore

      Simon Moore

      Is it a white metal kit ??

    2. Mad McCann

      Mad McCann

      Yep. Very basic it is too, but it's a starting point to an interesting machine. Circa 1921 blue of course!

      I'm helping a freind with an old wills caley tank in caley livery. Pre grouping is the way forward ; )
