Somebody created a 1:72 tactical bomber from it, long ago, IIRC with a tandem cockpit and side-by-side twin engines. Would even fill a real-world "gap", the B36 for the Swedish Air Force.

Our own Rickshaw did one, if I'm not mistaken?

I did indeed.  The Saab 36 Nidhögg:

The latest, but hardly last, Evilbay finds:

You cannot view this attachment.

I'm not sure what to do with any of them, but they came for next to nothing, and I'm a weak soul. 

Su-17/22 wings have been a favourite substitution for whiffing purposes here...

Ah, some day I want to combine these two kits into the rather unknown Su-23... 

Rescued from the local sorting office one eBay purchase for just over £7

1 x 1/72 Airfix A04003 Supermarine Swift FR.5 Might end up as a R/W build with eduard etch that I managed to find for it.

That's a steal. Was the £7 inclusive of post?

Unfortunately no, p&p almost doubled the price which was still good and the delivery was in less than a week too.

Got my hands on an Italeri (probably ex ESCI?) 1:72 SdKfz. 124 "Wespe" kit, earmarked to receive a gun transplant (maybe a 75 mm PaK with a long L70 barrel), becoming a makeshift light tank hunter, the "Jagdwespe". 

A trio of Buchons from Uncle Frank:
Amodel Casa 1109.
Rough but workable, some parts definitely need replacing. Thankfully, that AZ 109 family has lots of spares. The prop is a De Havilland, and I have a lot of Spitfire spares.
Straight kit markings with RAF over painted, one got lost and was forced down over GiB.

AZ Casa 1112
Decent, good detail and cross kit able with the other AZ kits, so tall tail and Erla hood. Straight markings.

Special Hobby Casa 1112
Best of the lot, but not as buildable as the AZ. If anything, it's too detailed, etch and resin, but paradoxically not detailed enough in places. Plus some odd build choices. Much prefer the AZ kit.  Hopefully, Eduard may do it, they've done most of the other 109s.

I like the sound of that    Those old ESCI armour kits were nice models for their time.
