MY GOD!!

Actually, the stuff you want is mainly the small Sakatsu stuff, so it's not that bad. I'm currently waiting for 4 orders to arrive from HLJ. They are taking so long and really getting me stressed. I'm hoping to get a deluge of kits in one go. Just out of interest, I've ordered:

Fujimi Honda Civic (Tohge)
Modellers round light lens set
Fuj Yokohama Model 7 wheel set
Tamiya Ferrari Enzo
Fuj early Silvia Veilside
Fuj CR-x
Tamiya BMW 320i

WHEN WILL I GET THEM??????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !:cry: :aug2: :machinegu

Jesus, put one of the caterhams on there and your credit limit will be exceeded!

I have to say that I am really tempted to get one of those, but they're pretty pricy! Got to be Tamiya's most detailed car kit.

I have just finished the JPE Caterham and I can say I was not as impressed as with the 1/24 kits. Fit of some parts to the chasis is not good at all and all those bloody tiny screws. It does look good but maybe my expectations were too high due to it being a Tamiya and £100.

@ Exhaust smoke,

I already have the cycle fender special (the carbon pattern is very good, it will look soooo seeexy with the polished aliminum), and it will be my next 1/12 kit, as soon as I finish my Renault RE-20


@ Integra818,

I have my own credit card........... maybe that's the problem!


@ P Man,

Keep my wife out of this!....... I tell her it only costs a little bit! :flash: :sun: :flash:

i have been placing many orders on HLJ as well, about 5 orders in the last 2 months, but theyre mostly detail parts and mooks. you guys need to learn some self control, it was hard for me but you just gotta learn to hold off the urge to get every new kit that comes out. now i only buys kits that i MUST have, not kits that i want, they gotta scream BUY ME!!!!!! literally.
