They'd have to supply bomb bay fairings for the Grand Slam, and the chain, and the bulged bomb doors for the Tallboy, or do those come with the Mk II anyway?
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! :)

Not certain if this has already popped up here?
Airfix is trying a new thing - "Quickbuild" model kits or real aircraft, but not as snap fit kits, rather in coop with LEGO(!).

A brick Spitfire, OOB and in nice colors - imagine that...  :rolleyes:



More (and other aircraft sets) here:

As far as bomb bay stuff in the MKII you only get a choice of normal or bulged bay doors, no chains or anything else other than the normal bomb mountings.

I've no idea, but my wife watches it religiously.  Myself --- I can't stand the show so my wife always watches it on the other TV that's in the house.  I said to my wife one time, 'you'd think after 50 years they'd have some sort of acting standard in place'.  It didn't go down very well ---

Why is it popular anywhere ? Although I suppose it's better then East Enders  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: at least it has some humour
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I think you're right Chris.

Anyway, back to Airfix.........
