New kits - yeeeharr!!

My new kits finnaly arrived today pic below, I was like a kid at crimbo couldnt wait to open the box, I was not dissapointed, some of you may already have these so please put up with my enthusiasm. I know the Aoshima kits arnt quite up to Tamiya standards but they equal or surpass Fujimi and I think there far better value for money. I opened the Fujimi wheels and was impressed by the molding but supprised decals wernt included for the centre caps and logos, then I opened the Aoshima wheels and wow they are great, split rims allowing ease of painting the inners if you want and a great sheet of decals including a nice twin stripe in silver and for less than the Fujimi. Next the 350z track which I need for my SAS C-West transkit, then the Westwings Accord, nice wheels two sets of windows, clear and smoke,nice bodykit, then the C-West RX-7, gold rims great tyres, spare original wheels, spare original spoiler wow, then the piece de resistance IMO the Veilside Skyline, spare mirrors two spare rear spoilers, spare break discs, grey decals and the crowning glory a set of Andrew dish wheels with extended rims for the rear. This may sound a little over the top but I have built the Fujimi Veilside skyline with its metal spoilers etc and it was a complete pig, took nearly a week of filling and sanding to get it together, the decals were in shades of brown so not usable on my colour scheme and to top it all the wheels were crap to say the least, nothing like those ive seen in pictures of this awsome looking car. Anyway sorry to go on but you know how it is when you get some new goodies. The only downside was that HM Customs and excise wanted £13 for the privalige of me getting them, will have to send a smaller order next time :) :) :)

Wow good shopping you did. Can you post some pics of the AW-7 and the AVs model 5. Can't wait to see those kits done.
