SaulHi all,
I usually buy these tracks ONLY when I am buying one of their Super Saver sets in which the tracks are then 50% off. So you get a truly fabulous deal.

Totally off topic but my latest acquisitions are another 3 Spitfire reflector gun sights today. Now i have eight............dont ask ..lol once cleaned up i will put one on e-bay and see how it goes. I also have a couple of Turret reflector sights now from a Lancaster but used in Wellington etc as well. Also a couple of single ring sights today from a aircraft with nose mounted guns like a Mosquito. they are identical to the twin ring sights but dont have the point of convergence settings you need for wing mounted guns.
The three i picked up today are boxed but need servicing..so thats me busy for a while.
.....Very strange us English anyway people with piles of aircraft related junk turn up at a airfield set out their stalls and sell to stupid people like me. This guy was in his 80's and had a sight on his table for sale. I looked at it but didnt have enough cash with me so took his name and address, left it a couple of weeks so as not to seem too keen then went to see him yesterday. Well he it turns out is a retired teacher and just happens to be building a spitfire in his back garden...like you do Basically its a collection of parts from over 70 different aircraft and crash sites as well as a lot of re-manufactured parts he's made himself but he started years ago with an original new fire wall/engine bulk head and worked his way back and he now has a near complete fuselage and cockpit. His garage is full of Spitfire propeller blades, mostly twisted and bent but could be straightened...and other related stuff. Anyway, i digress, it turns out he had three of these sights in boxes so i bought the lot. God knows if i will be able to sell this lot but i just couldn't pass the chance to acquire these by . He it turns out had met an old lady and her daughter who has a barn full of this stuff !! the husband had died and this lot had been his pension, again stock piled at the end of the war. The two women were incredibly secretive and wouldn't give an address for fear of being robed but they were taking this stuff around the jumble sales selling it off as and when they needed some cash. The guy i met has no idea where they live but if he wants stuff he rings up and it arrives in the post from his mystery suppliers 
OK moonpup but if it gets to far off topic from modelling just say
I should get delivery of the turret sights this week so i will post some photos of them and some pics of the single ring sights as well.
Indeed.
