It may have been my sister. She's an art student. Her taste in planes isn't that good. She like my TFW Dakota and Model Power F15 but doesn't think Vulcan or Victors are impressive designs! ****** artists. Tried to get her to do aircraft nose art as a project but was dismissed.

Aha, So thats what we think of those then.... Oh well....
I just saw em on a site and wondered thats all..... I agree, don't look very good and a 1/48th for less than $20...... (NOW - where the hell does a 1/32nd come into this then?).....
Thanks guys.... :)

1/48 (bigger model than 1/72) for $20
$20 equating to £20
£20 soon yer can buy a 1/32 (bigger than 1/48..)
Therefore 1/48 connected to 1/32.. :p :p :p
Anyway - crap models - move on....

Naw problems with that.. bring em on..!! Shame really that for a few cents more.... but then they aint gonna be $20.. and the youngsters aint gonna want them.. Ironical part is that in 25 years time, these will more than likely be worth more than anything Corgi produce... :D
