Yes they are damned expensive for what you get, but as being boxed as Whiff i thought i should post them up

(However i don't want to see yet another diatribe bemoaning the price of the kits - You have been warned !)

These have been shown here before as there was some discussion over the fact that the company had poached the ideas from here, having been done by Jeremy.  The issue resolved itself in the end.

Love the plane, but out of my price range too, I'm afraid.

Colour-wise, my vote would be for a stripy Indian one, like the well-photographed real MiG-21.
