Well, we've had a T is for . . . already today! When I said we wouldn't look
at Hing Fat in the last post, I sort
of lied as we're looking at them right now, but these were latecomers to the
queue, and just happened to fit as I'd used the figures to scale the Pen Plax fish-tank ornament earlier in
the year!
So the Pen
Plax fish tank ornament; just a bit of fun and it's supposed to be
derelict, but with both wheels intact all you actually need to do is rebuild
the chip in the barrel with some two-part epoxy-putty (or similar modelling
compound) and give it a better paint, it could be used to defend the coconut
grove on X-marks-the-spot Island!
Which leaves the Hing Fat; actually Billy V
for Imex, and when I said the 'recently
defunct' the other day I used a question mark to cover my arse as I wasn't sure
they actually have gone broke, I'd just been told they had.
I think they are still going, but
they seem to be running out of steam, the weekly deal is 'not found', they have
lovely pictures of the Bismarck where there should be a Chinook heavy-lift
helicopter, the Faceplant page was last added to in July and the website has no
news, nor any Covid-19 info., so there's a air of tiredness to it all?
However, there's still stock of Billy-V's repacked Hing Fat to be found in Hobby Stores and Brain Berke added this to
his stash the other day and sent a couple of images by way of a follow-up -
cheers Brain!
