I was curious if anyone has bought one of these sets from modelzone. I can appreciate the history behind this choice being the only living receiptent of the VC from Isandlwana:
For his gallant conduct in having, at the imminent risk of his own life, saved that of Private Westwood, of the same regiment. On the 22nd January, 1879, when the Camp at Isandhlwana was taken by the enemy, Private Wassail retreated towards the Buffalo River, in which he saw a comrade struggling, and apparently drowning. He rode to the bank, dismounted, leaving his horse on the Zulu side, rescued the man from the stream, and again mounted his horse, dragging Private Westwood across the river under a heavy shower of bullets
however is it the cost 119 pounds or simply the model itself why it is still available when most modelzone exclusives sell out quickly.... Any thoughts?
