Hannants currently have the Spitfire Mk.22 at half price, i.e. £6, which seems pretty reasonable:

I've ordered two of those TF-102 conversions.

No, I have NO idea what I'll do with the 2nd one.  ;D
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

Can't hurt to have a spare or two. Safety in numbers.  :thumbsup:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Damn - I was trying to spend my money and ended up spending yours instead!

You could always graft the second one onto a Lightning to really confuse people..... :wacko:

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Unfortunately (for other people) I can generate ideas at a FAR greater rate than I can realise them. You're welcome... ;)

More fool you.  The Airfix one is far, far superior.

Not really, all for what-ifs and/or parts. And I have a couple of Airfix ones too, the Xtrakit ones aren't that far off them.  And you'll be able to tell they're a what-if too, not some guessing game ---

Really?  Fuselage too short and too wide thus the canopies are way out, wings the wrong shape, prop diameter too small and looks nothing like any 5 blade spitfire prop, wheels the wrong shape.  I could go on. 

You what if your way, I'll whif mine.  If it's too subtle for the poor lambs?  My F******* Model!

Actually that idea had crossed my mind already, but I'm damned if I could think up even a vaguely plausible backstory!  :banghead:

Some sci fi film lash up?  A la the Canberra and Lightning noses used in "Wing Commander"?

Hm, yes, that'd work.

Maybe a different colour scheme on each side so they could use the same set for the good guys AND the bad guys......

Oh I like those!  ;D How large an aircraft model is it for £30 though?

Still a better option than the vacform one languishing in my stash somewhere!  ;D
Oh to be whiffing again :-(
