Having had a nice pres from the tax man i thought i would treat my self to something a little on the larger side and invested in Trumpeters Bismark and oh boy what an amazing kit it is .Bags of room in the hull for all bits and bobs and the hull is a one pice moulding and as a bonus they throw in an extra turret with all the internal bits .Frustration i have titled this and why ??? Coz my only model shop here in Cardiff has run out of my XF22 in tamiya and has stopped my build ..When asked i was told Tamiya in japan had run out of this colour.Can that be possible or am i being toold a porkie ???????????

An update on my last post before christmas.IO now have 6 pots of vXF 22 obtanded from hobby craft in Cardiff and they had a very generous collection of tamiya paints on the shelf .My model shop has said that the container that was carrying all the paint was washed over the side of the ship ,Now hang on whats that i smell is it She[p ?? is it Cattle ??? no its BULL S***

I should have gone to hobby craft to start with and could have been weeks ahead by now BUT another spanner in the works and thats my eyes letting me down as i cannot see the numbers on the frame !!!!! so now i have to wait until next week for my hew specs , i wonder if the builders of the original Bismark had this problem !!!

Tony it has loads of room in the hull and begs for radio control , lots of !!!!!!
