And 2 x 144th scale Lancasters at £1.99 each  ;)

Bought the same and both were in action within minutes in the hands of my grandsons!

Got 2 of the gun trucks as well (for me).

Next issue of the vehicle mag. has the Warrior APC. Not as cheap as the Viet-Nam lorry (I also got two of them) but not up to 'full' price. I shall buy (at least) two of them, my 20mm Squadies. They are getting fed up 'yomping' in my Ambush Alley games.

I bought two as well. Nice trucks for £1.99 each. Now I just need 40 odd normal trucks to make up a convoy to protect,
Took some pictures if anybody is interested








I think they scale up very well with my 20mm stuff. Nice detailed vehicles just need a bit of weathering and they are good to go.

My local Smiths has not only the Warrior but also the planes (some big WW2 German thing) no use to me I'm afraid.
Of note is that the local Asda store has them as well.
Also in the Smiths are posters for the Hobbit. There are 3 different posters No. 2 is a map of Middle Earth, the other two are just the actors and no use to me (guess which one has been 'out of stock but we will be getting more in' for the last three weeks) I do recall reading about Donald Fetherstone & Tony Bath using a similar poster as a campaign map (D.F.'s ACW invading T.B.'s Ancient Empire.)
