Thanks ya Chris  ...hitting the big 55 for the very first time 🙃

Just received today, 19:20 or 7:20pm, from the postie    a package containing flow pack 

Inside hidden away was a 1/72 Airfix BAC Canberra B(I).6 (RAF) or B.20 (RAAF) kit still sealed in it's bag.

This will be used with the resin B.6 forward fuselage I received about a week ago. May become an E.15 as I have a Modeldecals set for one, but then it could become something else. So many posibilities with the B.6 as a basis.

I've never had a RAF Canberra but I've had 3 B-57 Canberras...it's that cockpit canopy which does it for me ..it's where its should be ..in the middle of the fuselage..if I ever get many hands on a 48th Sea Vixen that cockpit is getting moved ..I can promise that .

Will the Navigator go behind the Pilot then? If so remember that the reason he is in a "coal hole" is because the radar displays were not very good so he needing a darkend room to be able to see the display.

Honestly mate I have no idea but that wouldn't surprise me at all but in wiffy world he's displays would be much much better 
I'm pretty sure another model builder out there has already done the cockpit move on a Sea Vixen but I haven't and I want one so I'll do my own..at some point

If you're hitting it for the second time I'd be wondering if Dizzy's leant you his time machine.

Had a look earlier, saw the postage price and thought "had away and bollards!"  I mean, I'd like another AZ 109H but not at a combined price of nigh on 30 notes. Sex, travel and their mothers...

Anyhoo, the He 51 snagged on eBay on Thursday arrived, along with some Spanish He 111 decals. The E still flying in 1954 is very tempting.

55 won't be anything big for me sadly..neither was my 21st...I was very busy on my 21st doing military stuff 
TBH I've spent many b days doing the same thing I did the day before and after..just always seems to turn into another day of the week ..nothing special at all.

Just received a Matchbox 1:700 USS Minneapolis - was a bargain, might end up as simple body donor bank or with a shortened hull.

I'd forgotten Matchbox did ships, and I think I built a couple
