Thanks, lusted after these 2 Conte DDay sets for 18 months before hitting upon them late last year. Right with Arnhem at the moment. Wish I could twist Andy's arm to reproduce some of the old Arnhem 44 sets, like Frost, Horrocks and the glider that have been done before. I do not do planes due to size, but I would make an exception for a glider, so part of Market Garden. Andy owes a lot to his 2 series of Arnhem for putting K&C firmly on the map. Hope he has not forgotten them, seems a long time since any new releases have come our way for Market Garden. Cheers, Robin.

Robin,

thanks for the images of the show, but why not give us Aussie's some pre-warning of the show, as you never know you get some more of us who have nothing to do a Easter, coming over for a look.

regards,

John

Fair comment John, but quite honestly it is only every 2 years and only dozen trading stalls. It would only take 10 minutes to take it all in. There is a large toy fair every June long weekend at the Adelaide show grounds, however I missed last year as it was held the weekend before for the first time. This is worth coming for and I guess it will be again the weekend before from now on. Funny really been going for 10 years, my mate and I rolled in on the Saturday of the long weekend as usual and found a park right up next to the main gate. Thought this was too easy, given there was no other cars in the entire car park. Went inside and discovered it had been held the week before, really smacked of Wallyworld being closed. Cheers, Robin.
