gonna pick up a truck kit too, a newsagents in the other valley to me has a volvo kit in for £25, he's trying to get rid of it, but then things went tits up with my motor and i got no spare cash for it, wont keep it till the end of the month for me either the bastard!

shame cos thats a reasonal price for 1/24 truck kits, but be warned.............when i did one i just sat there for days looking at this big box of bits not knowing where to start cos there is so much of it

if you got a modelzone near you go and have a look...they got a sale on at the mo...............seen a martini 911 i fancy for £14 but im in the same boat with moolah

.........brakes on the clio need sorting nxt monday....abs is playing up

closest thing i have to me now is a hobbycraft in cardiff

i remember you saying about the truck when you made vel's . . . . . i'd save that one for a later date once i've improved my skills!!! although i already have plans for it, i've seen italieri have a citroen wrc truck,trailer & car kit so was gonna go along the same lines as them, but use the volvo truck for the ford wrc team, cos they use volvo & scania trucks.

keep an eye on ebay.......where i get most of mine from

my trick is to search by 'closest'............cos then if its within a few miles you can pm them to see if you can collect and save on the postage

but i did pick up one of these in the MZ sale a few weeks back
