I've earned this!

A handsome and practical aircraft, one that might still work in its role today with appropriate avionics and controls updates. 
And naval, which is always preferable.

Until I can get a new and better printer, this project is probably stalled at this stage. I mixed a little white into some gloss gull grey, and daubed it on where national markings might have been roughly painted over before being sold on the civilian market. The spray company using it didn't bother repainting the whole aircraft, it just added red bits for visibility and whatever name I can come up with for the business.

Which reminds me; I suppose many of you remember Gary, aka 'Before his wife finds out.' Not sure if we had a commemorative build when he passed, but I might dedicate this to him. Trouble is, I can't remember his surname. Can anyone help me out? He lived in New Brunswick, where this would have operated in the fight against the spruce budworm.

Now you've started the gears a-turnin' - what about bringing some of the old girls back into service with the Royal Scottish Airforce?  I can just about see the saltires on the tail ... 

When you reckon the size of country to be overflown, I think speed wouldn't be too much of an issue.  Issue the ladies with some Avon cannons, a couple of IRIS-T for selfdefence, and load her out with Brimstones ... Someone's gonna have a rotten day!
