Any demand (or takers) for old model catalogues, I've got 1988 copies of Tamiya and Fujimi catalogues. Some great dioramas in the Tamiya catalogue. They are a bit worn (foxed?).

Can you scan the Iowa Class battleship in th the dry dock, F 14 and Subaru Vortex/XT in the Tamils catalogue?

I remember a kid in school had this catalogue and just had memory flashbacks!

Thanks heaps

Ps I would have taken but am in Dubai

I love the Tamiya catalogues and have managed to accumulate, I think, all of the square-format ones. Here's an old picture (2007), I have all the subsequent ones of course!

You must be thinking of a different catalogue no pictures of the battle ship in a dry dock, there is a full page of the F-14. The only picture of a XT is small. I'll post some more pictures later.

Not free but nominal cost plus postage.

I bought a new Tamiya one for my lads a few years ago. I was amazed that it smelt the same as the one I had in the 80's. Took me right back.

(am I a bit odd??)

Not at all. In fact seeing all those catalogues makes me very sad. Happy days of my youth. cry

Ah, the Superkit Harrier. I got one of those for my main Xmas present in 1978. It was the first kit I built doing all the painting before I assembled it. It cost about £7.50 back then, that's about £45 now.

My nippers want Gopro's & phones etc costing hideously more for xmas nowadays.
