Too good to miss : Operation Sealion

A gaming mate made me aware that the big garden centre near Carlisle was running a 30% closing down sale on the hobby stuff and models they have previously sold in their basement. Having tempted my daughter with chocolate cake we took a trip up the motorway. (It is only 25 mins from home). Low and behold a Bf109 E and a Mk1 Spitfire both spot on for my Sealion campaign.

They will be stunning and both come with 1939/40 markings πŸ˜€ At £12:50 each it is about as cheap as I have seen them anywhere else.
