another question to ask is why any painting or statue of Adam had a navel...

Now we are getting philosophical  ;D  Good spot  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

i have a Tamiya 1:48 A10,  i have been meaning to do a RAF version as why not ( yes i know  price, limited role use, price, its not UK built, price, and the Treasury is moaning re- Price)  but i think i now have a good reason, i managed to pick up a set of 1:48 JP 233s from the Tornado SIG at Telford,  so twin centre line for them, a Pave way under each wing and then treble hunting RBL755 clusters , then singles, then ecm on one wing and twin winder on the other...  does that sound any good?   or possibly go with single mavs.

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

in other news  i had a look at the kingkit website and did a quick run through the Tamiya 1:35 UK and JSDF stuff i want by the time i add in a couple of other random bits  it comes to a total that im going to have to start saving for  :unsure:   :o   not massive. and considering the cost of the older kits, nothing too excessive,  but more than the metaphorical 2 bob fifty and some luncheon vouchers, but it would certainly  get a lot of plastic for the cash.  And wile i know other brands exist a large amount of them either arnt UK relevant or seam to have " the more parts are better mindset" that drives me spare,  5 or 6 parts per track piece is not something i want in a tank kit.
and from looking at Telford a lot of dealers seem to think that asking as much as Hobbycraft for old kits in old boxes that have been kicked around the floor is a way of keeping in business,  i think some of them were trying to get more than dealer price.   i think i may have to " write a little list" to misquote a song,  put down what i want and put the  new price / 2nd hand price and slowly buy off that, at shows, or from any shops i go past.

it may have been our enthusiastic reception to having a camera aimed at us  :unsure:   :o   ;D

Well damn me, so we did! That must be the first time ever!  :thumbsup:

I'm most impressed, but I'm not sure Alastair was, looking at his expression in the pic.  ;D

That was taken on the Sunday, you can tell by the large collection of long winged thingies over on the left, they only came out of storage then to replace some 'Saturday Only' models.
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! :)
