Due to the paltry fare on offer at the Spalding show, I nipped into the Newark Air Museum on the way home.

Italeri 1/48 A-4 E/F/G Skyhawk.  Perfect whiff fodder, only problem is what to do with it?  So many stunning profiles on my HD - Aeronavale, Marineflieger, Luftwaffe, RAF, RN.....The RAN decals in the box will almost certainly end up on an F-4 at some point :)

Airfix 1/72 Canberra B(I)8.  This leaps to the top of the build pile, Indian AF.  Hopefully get it done for the Cold War SIG display at Telford.

Bought a HobbyBoss 1/72nd La-7 and Yak-3 at Sutton Coldfield Show. Made the La-7 while I was there. Possible Irish Air Corp.
Also bought an Italeri MiG-29, which will be RAF or Scottish or Irish, as the missiles (some anyway) need to go on my Tu-21 (TSR.2ski) :wacko: :party:

Also, Keith of the Quarter Scale Group donated a MiG-21PF (1/48th) fin for ANOTHER TSR.2ski.... :drink:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
