Heads up: Kmart Australia clearing stocks of Grafix kits
« on: 02 March 2016, 11:34:17 AM »
I was in Kmart today and noticed that they have knocked down all the Grafix kits down to $3 a pop. The M1 Abram and the Challenger, whilst both pretty basic and not terribly accurate, they are good match, scale wise for 28mm miniatures. If you can be bothered doing a  little work, that's a pretty cheap way to get a tank platoon. 

The Mig-29 isn't bad and scales out to around 1/72. There are also a couple of vaguely useful speedboats. All of the kits come with a brush and four pots of cheap acrylic paint. Avoid the Spitfire it's a complete disaster. I just wish I could find the F-16 they make, none of the local stores carry one.

Worth checking out while they last.

May be interested in the MiG-29, but there's no K-Mart close to the city.

Threads here for those that want to know how basic they are (I did my research when I first saw them a year or so ago):

K-mart in Brunswick has these as does the one in Northcote.

If you can't get hold of one, let me know and if my local outlet has still has one I'll pick it up for you. I can drop it in at Nic's if that suits.

Thanks - very kind. Taking a 3 day weekend, so will make an attempt to get to one.

"Why do you want to go to K-Mart?!". Clearly SWMBO still needs training.  lol
