Lidl special offers (23rd March) Revell car + airliner kits

[Zad]

Just a heads-up that Lidl are doing a special offer on various 1:24th and 1:25th car and 1:144th airliners. Inevitably they are bundled with useless paints, but the brush and glue may be useful. If I'm passing I might grab a VW Golf to go with my 1:24 Routemaster.

The cars are £11:99, rrp £24:99 (more usually £19:99 though):



Airliners rrp is £17:99 (£13:50 and £9:50 at Hannants so less of a good deal)

The Air Berlin 737 builds into a nice model, but beware the Carrera RS, it's ancient. The odd 1:25 scale should ring alarm bells...

Great stuff. Mrs S has sent me to the local LiDL for Tim foil so I'll try & pick one of the car kits up.

How bad is the Porsche model? I've got a couple of Corvette Revell kits in 1:25 (the C5R snd C6R) and they are great. In fact the older C5R is probably better, at least more complex anyway. This is of course in my opinion, and I am not a very experienced modeller.

I don't think they are available until Monday by the way Strummerville.

Thanks! Just been for Mrs S's tinfoil and there were no models. Not even tall slim blonde ones...

Yes, Monday's "Creative Day" according to their website:

Who?

I'm now a Ferrari California and Porsche 911 owner! Just need to head down the rabbit hole to fit inside them.

I bought the Porsche as it's a replica of my replica lol

And now I have a Golf GTI to go with my Routemaster bus. Of course it has already gone from a straight OOB build to "well I'll get a rattle can from Halfords, and maybe check the forums to accurise it a bit".

I did that for the Porsche. Now I hardly dare open the box in case Pinhead visits.

I picked up these:

Is this offer still on?

[MarshPhantom]

Don't know but Lidl usually have these things in for one week.

[z06tim]

The one in Warwick still had some left today. No Golf and only one of the airliners i seem to recall.

[sad61t]

That's three of us with the Porsche kit - anyone up for a group build?

[z06tim]

I'm afraid I'm unlikely to start my Porsche for a while. I've only just got back into modelling, so it's going quite slowly, and more of a winter hobby for me.

sorry, victim of the double post pixie!

Gloucester still has a couple of F1 car, Californias and an 911 for anyone interested.

I got a California.
