hey !

With all the talk about them, I thought I'd repost this little beauty.....it's the ancient Airfix kit.

Suez stripes always look good  

Although it would take a creative re-writing of history as it was the US who forced Britain/France/Israel into a humiliating climbdown.

Thanks boys ! Glad you like 'er......

And you've got a good point there, Nevster....How about the Yanks delivered them and their spares before the conflict, so it was alot easier for the Brits to ignore US interference ?
