Today Mrs Arq and I were discussing what we should get a relative's young son for his birthday. Mrs Arq "What about an Airfix model aeroplane kit?" Arq "Good idea, I used to like doing them at his age, I will have a look online" So, I looked online at the Airfix website. Apart from most being on Pre-order, I looked at the prices> Arq to Mrs Arq "Fuck that, I'm not paying that much for a plastic Spitfire" (£50) (mine use to cost 10 shillings at most, IIRC) Mrs Arq "Yes, fuck that....get him a couple of oranges"
Got a 1:8 model of a Hypermotard on the way from Ducati, apparently worth about €250... https://www.ducati.com/gb/en/home/join-ducati I might leave it sealed in the box for 14 days
