One for the Batman fans. Bit expensive for me at the moment but looking forward to see any builds start on here. Andy.

Just had a look at the Hachette Partworks Web Site. This shows Issue number 1 for the Tumbler as "out of stock" with issue 2 due shortly. Perhaps it is just a test unless the issues are all out with Newsagents. Will keep an eye on this as I might well subscribe, but at a cost of £1300 approx I want to be reasonably sure it will continue to completion.

Current Build:-
[color=blue]Stash Avro Lancaster (Full Kit)plus some extra issues I picked up at a good price

Found issue 1 at the local W H Smiths. As it was only £1.99 thought I get one to see what the quality was. Assembly was straight forward Main body is metal with a lot of additional plastic components. No glue required as the majority of the addon parts are push fit (a nice tight fit, too tight on one part but nothing a bit of careful filing could not resolve). Nice clean parts with no sprues to file off. Will lookout for part two and see if the quality continues

HI all, BigGrin

I`ve been mulling this one over and come to a decision.Blink

The cost I can deal with, but the reason I WON`T be investing is the time scale of the collection.

Here`s my reasoning:

1st 10 issues are fortnightly = 20 weeks

then 110 weekly issues = 110 weeks

Total = 130 weeks / 2.5 years

A lot can happen in 2.5 years, by which point I`ll be closing in on 70 years of age. Hopefully LOL Flapper LOL

Looks like I`ll only be in the full kit range from now on. Crying
