Luckily, one that I've been tracking for some time was still available (at a King's ransom) so I decided it's now or never - my wife was extremely supportive on this .

Hopefully, the positive comments about this model will be reflected in my experience when it arrives - I'll try and limit myself to only two 1/32 scale aircaft (at least that's the plan) .

This Spitfire eventually went for £105 plus change! I had posted some notes to that effect over the weekend but they have since disappeared?!

On the bright side, this spit completely drew the attention off another which I bagged for £41 with some assistance from David Cotton on the UK forum!

Unhappily postage here horrendous! Still, after a long hunt I'm most please even though postage is in excess of what the model cost.

That my friend must be the bargain of the year in the UK. Many congrats on that purchase.

Well, I received my 'Battle Scarred' Spitfire (in battle scarred box) yesterday and returned it to the vendor today as it came with a busted prop. .

Although it seemed that it may have been repairable if one took apart the prop. assembly, I decided not to attempt it as I did not want to cause any additional damage. The whole sorry saga has left me out of pocket to the tune of approx US$40 (return shipping costs) that are unlikely to be recoverable .

I doubt that I'm destined to own one of these sought-after items ... .

Props are an easy fix if you can get the replacement part from Corgi.

I'd be very interested to learn what method would you use...for a liberator and spitfire?
