Love the Rafales (Finnish and Indonesian in particular).  :wub: That Blohm & Voss-ish beast is just wild. :bow:
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?

As a proud former ramp rat I've always hated Hirohito's Revenge, but for some perverse reason my favourite is that Mu-2.  :blink:

That Mu-2 is awesome. Put that up at a model show and you'd have a bunch of folks assume it was "real".

And the JMNs would be complaining that the flotille markings were the wrong size for that particular date.  -_-
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! :)

Awesome builds!  I'm loving the Finnish and Israeli Rafales the most.  They 1/48?  Any details on that Finnish camo scheme?  I'm really liking the color combo and am interested if that's based on a real scheme or completely dreamed up.

Honestly I was never worried about French "Whiffers".  After all, it was a French man who invented "What If?".  His name was Jules Verne, and the world has never been the same since.  I hope the same for this site in stamping out JMNs.
:cheers:

PS.  I do like that Tempest.  However it would have looked a lot better in French Navy markings, at least in my opinion.
