Money Saving Idea No 1

Binder 1, Binder 2, Binder 3, Binder 4, Binder 5, Binder 6, Have I done enough, after getting issue 2 & 3 with the FREE Binder, It then dawned on me that there is another 5 yes FIVE to get at £7.99 each Confused 120 issues 20 per binder !!! when DeA released Build the Spitfire All the Magazines separated into the individual section, So as the mags arrived History etc went in the front and the build went at the back, all together page after page, so you ended up with a big instruction book, Come On Admin, Get it Sorted!

Am I waffling!!!! lol LOL

Now the Victory build is at the back of the Mag and there is no way to detach it, Angry so during the build you have to look back/foward through pages and pages of other stuff which is a bit of a pain!

So for those who have a scanner, Scan the page, Print It and stick it in a Ring Binder, 99p from Asda Flapper have a box handy for the mags to look through at your lesuire, Thus saving a few beer tokens as well!!! LOL LOL

Needless to say I have rang customer services and asked them NOT to send me anymore binders.
Happy Building, Russ

I cut out the instructions from my Flying Scotsman build and put them in an A4 folder, will do the same with this one.

I prefer the layout of the Lancaster Magazine with the Normal A4 Binder and easily separated magazine pages that are placed behind dividers.

I'm with mttmwilson on this one i like the way the lancaster mag is set out ...because the build section is bigger than the rest...i keep it in a seperate folder..down side when it's built ...what do i do with the folders ...and the million pages of instructions...??Confused Confused

I'm sure that the instructions will be useful in a couple of years when a duster accidently knocks off a spar or twoBigGrin BigGrin BigGrin

Do you have to cancel the binders or do you have to order them. Did you cancel via phone or email.

I believe that they will be sent automatically, if you don't want to receive them you have to contact Customer Service and tell them. I'd telephone them and follow that up with an e:mail. BigGrin

lol...I decided that a piece of leftover worktop that was lying around would be ideal to make a jig base...unfortunately the wife doesnt share my thoughts as her pastry board has suddenly shrunk!!
I also sent an email asking for binders not to be sent...hadnt realised just how much they were
