Now there's a great idea! Bob Chawgo contacted me to ask if I had a particular kit in the Widow's collection, and it occured to me that this was probably the best way to do it.

As I've explained when I first took on this task, Tina's Husband died last January. He was an ex-service man, and had been ill for some time. He had amassed just over £14,000 worth of kits, which unfortunately Tina has to somehow liquidate. Now she's not a wealthy lady, in fact she has to hold down a full time job in order to survive, and it actually costs her money she can ill afford each month, just to store the kits.

Instead of trying to sell the kits off, which number over 600, many of them resin, why doesn't anybody who is thinking of buying a kit, drop me an email first to see if I have it? I'll knock a little off to make it cheaper and we'll see where we go? I suppose taking into acount postage it might not be worth overseas buyers buying one kit, but we'll see what we can work out?
I'd appreciate it if you're going to send me an email, if you could also post here to try and keep this topic near the top, and I also appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thanks.

Jean, unfortunately, the only 1/48th in the list are aircraft. A Monogram AD-6 Skyraider, and a couple of Tamiya Fairey Swordfish.

Sorry! I can't do it this way unless people ask for specific kits. I can't search a database for British kits!
