Very very nice and as Dizzy said ,,blingin it aint it mate  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yep, it certainly has bling, but then the Americans were right into that in the 1950's; shiny metal planes with lots of bright paint jobs.

Very much so
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A fitting companion to your F-80E.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

It was really fun to put new life into the old Revell kit, that had been sitting in the darkest corner of my cave since sometime in the last millennium.  ;)

You did that very well,  looks absolute authentic for that time .
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep . Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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