I entered an ebay auction for Tamiya’s 1:48 scale Lancaster bomber (the Grand Slam Lanc) and put up $50 thinking I would easily lose…turns out I won it at $49!! Not bad for a $120 and some change kit 
Now I just need to find space to build her
lucky fellow. treat’er right, she’s worth it!!
[edit: for language]
great deal…!
I think it’s great , wow 1/48th lanc thats huge i would love to see it when it’s done
she’ll be a beauty . I will have to start checking on e-bay to add to my collection .
enjoy her she’s a hellava project !!!
congrats, I hope to see it one day and do her right

P.S. I have a lot of video documention about lanc’s and i’m wondering if it’s modeled after one of the planes from 622 squadron from gb circa 1944 . also in the movie stripper in canada the girls stop in a small town in canada and on display
is a lanc called ye old owl if memory serves me right .

Now we just have to sit back and wait for the same deal on Academy’s F-18. I have a funny feeling it’ll be a while.[:p]
Doh! I missed that one again!
There was a story going around a couple weeks back about a local Hobby Lobby in Georgia or somewhere down south that mis-marked the Hornets for… was it $40 or $50? I don’t recall, exactly. In all probablility it could have been a line someone was casting for us, but if it was true… some lucky bastige…

Some folks have all the luck.LoL i was looking at the same kit in the local hobby shop the other day, the only thing that stopped me buying was the missus was with me and the threat she gave!!! cowardice prevailed. LoL…Greg
That’s why it’s nice to be single and have the option the play the field. (If that’s what one chooses! [;)])
Better half my…

Good find, I have both types of Tamiya lancs, 2 standard and 1 dambuster, I won’t tell you the price I won them for, but it wasn’t 120 bucks either.
I’ve had my B.I/B.III for about 10 years now, and I’m STILL gonna build it someday…
Riiiiiight…

Black wolf guess I don’t feel bad now about having my Dam Buster for 2 without starting it.
JEEVES…great deal. I buy lots of my stuff on ebay. If you watch it you can usually get a super price. I recently got the old Monagram B-52D with operating flaps etc. and “real engine sound”. I got it for $40. Usually goes for over $100. It was an original factory sealed box. (including glue). & no I haven’t built this one yet either is on my list about 10 down or so.
The grand slam is beautiful, but hen I’m a Bomber freak.

Just got the Revell 1/72 scale B-36 for $15. I feel kinda smug right now
Hey thats one helluva deal post pic when shes done.
Dang. If y’all know where i can get a B-36, preferably cheep, i gotta add it and the b-66 destroyer to my collection.
Just found out that one of my local shops has several Dambusters… $80!
Blackwolf checks his financial situation…

Awesome-- just got it today!!! Well-- one interesting thing just looking it over-- there are normal plain clear parts, and there are also pre-painted clear parts available to use…now the question is can I live with myself for using the pre-painted ones 
Hi Folks. My luck just changed, Hannants had a stall at Waddington airshow and they were selling revell 1/32 Hunters at £15!!! thats half price, got me one. Thinking about it i should’ve got two .Another stall had Acadamy C97’s and KC97’sat £16 each BARGAIN OR WHAT !..Greg
