Neal,

only place I have seen these for sale was at a model show in Cupar. So keep an eye out for model shows in your area. If you get a magazine called Model Airplane international you will find list of local shows etc.

Cheers

They will be Neal. Not something you will pick up cheaply. Look forward to seeing those pictures when you get your collection going.

Neal - company in teeside called vectis auctions holds pretty frequent auctions for these sorts of things. Could be worth looking into. They do command good prices though, as it's straying into pretty hardcore collecting. I started with boxed dinky, but gave up and sold them early in.

steveD giving up?
never!!

[paul463]

It was probably a very sensible move on Steve's part. These items as Steve says go for a lot.

i think im going to have to go with repro boxes
that should save me £20-£100!

It wasn't so much a giving up, more a refocussing. I moved on to 1/18th scale cars instead! And then got sidetracked into rare dukes of hazzard stuff which ended up once more getting costly!!! Still my favourite items though (yes, even rather than af!!)

i know i wanted to collect them to!
can hardly find any on ebay
