Went to Modelzone in Romford on Saturday and they were selling off things at ridiculous prices

Airfix (ex-Heller) Kriegsmarine set was £14.99 instead of £38.99

Airfix E-boat - £9.99

Airfix WW2 Destroyers and Falklands Warships £4.99 each

Revell Kearsage £25

I managed to restrain myself and just bought the Kriegsmarine set. Now what do I do with my S-Boot Flotille?

Hi David

Yes, those are "ridiculous" prices
Nice catch!

About your question:
A Chanel diorama? (remember the old Airfix E-Boat box art, when the european box tops still had swasticas and firing and explosions?)

The madness of PC has extended to censoring the cigarette from the hand of one of the U-boat crew on the box-top illustration of the KM set.....

Hi David

In a near future, they will be selling military models in blank boxes because they can be misunderstood and could promote violence!

Well... sign of the times!

Back to topic:
You can try and make a dio similar to that or a bunker scene
