Eureka!!

[McColm]

Have you ever had that eureka moment?

When you're puzzling something out and inspiration just leaps at you. I was thinking out loud 'why doesn't anyone make inflight refueling probes and sell them to the mass market?' When I came across some .2mm plastic rods. With a little bit of sanding and a bit of paint they could be used for my UK Whiffs such as;
The Br1150 Atlantic MK5 in RAF colours/markings
Lockheed Orion P-3 in RAF colours/markings

Unless of course I buy the entire stock of the Airfix Lightning MK6 or does anyone else know of a better inflight refueling probe outlet?

If you chop the seeker off of an LGB and glue it to the end of a plastic rod it makes a decent looking probe.

Cheers !
