Airfix armor kits are not so common over here in the states Stuart. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one or the Gecko kit. At least the Airfix kit looks like it has markings for XXX Corps. :hmm:

We have this in two versions, can a G3M in 1/48 be far behind? Hit my porch today.

Nice score John! I do hope that you’re right about a G3M coming one day soon…

Mike West of Lone Star is reproducing the Koster G3M with resin replacing the vac parts, but the price is about $200 and I'm not ready to go there yet.

You know you have a great wife when she points out a model jet kit amongst a ton of Gundam kits and said you should get it. Only paid $25 for it.

She seems to be a keeper! Nice kit.
