...It's surprising what you find when you're not looking...

I popped into Manchester yesterday to look for a battery pack for my 35mm camera.

Whilst I was there, I dropped into the model shop with the intention of *browsing only*.

Look what I found...

It cost me nearly twice as much as it should have done because I then had to buy my daughter something to even the score...

(Her rule, not mine - If I buy *me* a toy, I have to also buy *her* a toy).

Lession #1....never take a kid shopping with you.
Lession #2....never buy anything and say to them, "Dont you tell mum
what Daddy just brought"...:D :D

Have fun building the kit.....i never seen that one before.

...Just so you know what it is...

Have fun building the kit.....i never seen that one before. Fresh in yesterday (apparently).

I popped into the Manchester model shop too the other day, I love that shop!!! I never noticed the stratos while i was there but it doesnt surprise me that they have one. I purchased two types of BMF and a clear decal sheet.

:o :o :o :eek: :eek: :eek:

I saw that on HLJ, I really wanted to get it but I already have a prettty hefty backlog of models.

That's my favorite car from Sega Rally 2, looks really cool and must be a joy to build.

Have fun!

I have the p/e set for the Stratos if you're interested.

cheers,
Wong

I may start this one when I've completed my current project (Tamiya Sard Supra).

...Gotta admit, I'm looking forward to it.

They had about 5 in stock at the time, at £17.99.
