Hi Chris,
Sounds ok. Pity about the VAT etc, I suppose the size of the parcel attracts attention but at the end of the day the total price is still good.
Might invest myself.

Hi. It arrived yesterday. I'm actually quite impressed with it! It seems fairly good quality - I have never had a foam plane before (im a scratch builder at heart!) so i've got nothing to compare it to. It contains all the accessories needed - which…
