Quote from: Pellson on December 31, 2023, 02:54:22 AMIn the net, I found:
- a Heller Mirage III/5
- a Frog/Hasegawa RA-5C Vigilante
- a Hasegawa F-106A Delta Dart, and
- a Toko Antonov An-72P


What a lovely haul, specially the Vigi, I doubt you even THOUGHT about throwing them back in, did you?  ;D
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! :)

Yeah, that Vigilante has eluded me for quite some time, maybe due to me not having any clear plans for it. Then you're not really prepared to fight out a bidding duel, are you? In this case, all the kits came from one trader, so I could negotiate in the  Mirage for nothing and the An-72 for an OK price. And splitting the savings over all kits make them all reasonable..  ;)
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Ah the ancient arts of "accountancy and statistics" an alchemy known to man since he first picked up a rock to scribe upon another rock  ;D

Noooooo, I've got two Vigis already, one FROG/Hase one and a Trumpeter one.

Flippin' 'eck, I must have driven past that half a dozen times when I was over there, never noticed it. Almost right across the road from where I rented the car!

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