There was a proposal for an Maritime recce VC10 anyway.

Yesterday I grabbed a PM Baghdad Fury 2 seater from my LHS (I'm thinking Indian with rockets for COIN ops in Kashmir) and a set of Falcon canopies for teh Academy B-29.  I'd ordered them last week but - naturally - in the meantime, the missing components turned up.

Exactly why I am thinking of doing that Wooksta especially as I have the recent book on the sunject.

Do you get the pointed rudder?  Blackbeard Resins have one in their range!

Hmmn.  Ramjet Spitfire.  Wonder if it'll fit the Hasegawa kit?  I've one built but not sure quite what todo with her.  Tempted with a contraprop - some IXs were fitted with them.

Now Indian sounds tasty, perhaps with a Pakistan AF B-47 delivered by the Yanks in an attempt to even things up  :thumbsup:

That would make a h*ll of a 'Dogfight Double' project  :blink:

Ex-CMK.  I paid £20 in 1995 for a bagged one from Hannants.  How much are they charging for it now, with the added luxy of a box and some decals?

From the IPMS Germany Model Expo at the Luftwaffenmuseum in Berlin-Gatow:

Airfix 1/72 Dassault Super Mystere - for only 5 EUR! Score!
Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler
Cheers,

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?

Nice kit, just don't put the tailplanes on wrong way round like I did  :banghead: Thank goodness super glue dosn't have much shear strength  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I paid just over 20 quid for it lee. That was after the basic show reduction of 20%. You could add at least another 10-15 to the price if buying in the UK.

It was one I always intended dropping into rubber at some stage but never did.  If I was to do it now, I'd sort out the intakes and exhausts plus tart up the cockpit from a Revell one.
