You've seen the Final Countdown haven't you??? ;D

I kid you not Simon,  fortunately I've got the two Club SHARs coming so will be able to do a swap.

Oh, I know, I've got the SHAR & it's definately a WWII pilot!  It made me smile when I saw it & I thought of The Final Countdown! ;D
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.

If you buy the very nice new tool Airfix Spitfire Mk.XIX Carlos, you'll find where the modern pilot figure got too.   :blink:

Five will get you ten that they used the BBMF aircraft as references, and they DO have modern pilots of course. Quite where their references were for the WWII pilot in the SHAR boggles the mind though.........
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! :)

I'd just assume that since both kits were created at the same time, someone made a whoopsie & somehow got the two pilots mixed up? :huh:

No probs really, should be able to find a modern pilot to pop in the Sea Harrier, of course my problems will be solved if I pick up the Spit PR.XIX! :lol:

Just been having a look at the site, and it seems they're also re-popping the 1/144th Vostock 1 rocket. Lots of bits for the whiffer's bits box there!

not sure if it's been mentioned here already, Airfix have kit A08011 listed as 1/72 Stratos 4 (I assumed it to be some kind of space rocket...) but it's not mentioned at all on their site, them I remembered it's a TSR2...

Stratos 4 is an animie production, in it there is (amongst others) a ZELL version of the TSR.2 (called the TSR.2MS).  Lots of scanitlly clad young ladies as pilots too.  Would probably sell by the ton in Japan, also a way of getting the TSR.2 through the back door elsewhere (getting around the limited addition problem), as I assume it'll just be the standard kit with an extra sprue?

Wonder if it comes with the TEL as well?  :wacko:
Anti ballistic missile, ZELL-launched TSR.2 on a Russian giant truck - can it possibly get any more awesome than that?  :party:

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?

Are you guys serious about the Stratos 4 kit or is this a very early April fools gag! I think Cafe Rio did one in 1/144th scale in Japan (a gashapon trading kit). Main diffence to the airframe is a hump at the base of the tailfin with two rocket engines in it. Think the centreline pod is a large missile for destroying meteors if I remember the anime right.
If it's for real I'll be getting a couple.
