Quote from: kerick on October 27, 2023, 02:25:29 PMSounds interesting! Will you paint it in airline colors? British I suppose? :thumbsup:
I'll have to check if there's any Lockheed Constellation SuperG decals that includes windows. 

You can buy decals that are just Airliner windows by themselves.

Quote from: PR19_Kit on October 28, 2023, 01:04:24 AMThe GR5 was the first version of the 'Mk 2' Harrier to see service in the RAF, and to my mind the better looking. The later GR7s and 9s grew all sort of extra bumps and stuff, maybe more useful in a combat zone but not as good looking.

And the T10 trainer looks even better to my mind, but then a number of 2 seaters are nicer looking than their single seater counterparts.

Not a Harrier fan but always thought the GR9 was the best-looking non-radar second-generation Harrier, the T10 the best of all two-seaters.

An FAA fighter based on the T12 with a GR9A engine plus a radar (Harrier FGR.13? - the GR.11 was IIRC a designation reserved for a future single-seat variant) was a whif idea of mine a few years ago, I'm sure I'm not the only one to come up with that idea.

Snaffled another Airfix Bv 141 off eBay, whilst Uncle Frank had a pair of Sabre kits Henschel Hs 126 (one being the KPM rebox), both having Spanish markings, along with a set of Kora Spanish markings for the same aircraft.

Oh almost forgot..I got a set of 48th scale Fokker D.VII Lozenge decals+ insignia for one of the models I got from my mate ..now hunting down more for the Fokker triplane and the Bulldog.

I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.

Have you thought of putting the lozenge transfers on a Harrier...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The Wooksta!

Snagged another Bv 141 on eBay. Seller had a bin or offer but as it came with a Revell he 219 I offered a tenner for the Bv 141 on its own.

Czech, I think.

PR19_Kit

Not a stash growth as it seems I'd already bought them, but I found a cardboard box in The Loft with a whole load of good stuff I can't even remember buying!

They include a plastic bag containing no less than TWENTY white metal Aeroclub, and other, ejections eats!

A Hasegawa F-106.  ;D

A Freightdog VC!0 Poppler conversion

Two sets of Frieghtdog Chinook resin rotor blades

A vacform Westland Welkin kit

A nameless 1/72 Alvis Stalwart kit  :o

And the pick of the bunch, an Airfix Westland Sout kit complete with a matching C Scale white metal Wasp conversion kit!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Any Aeroclub EJ001 Martin-Baker Mk 2 ejection seats among that lot that you'd be willing to sell on, Kit?
