After studying my stash in November I now know I have a lot of 1/72 Eurofighter kits. Would it be so wrong of me to build one of every 1/72 kit there is, in a standard RAF scheme, just to show how different the types are?

Obviously the earliest issues would be rather crude compared with the latest releases from Revell or Hasegawa but I think it would demonstrate just how each company gets it wrong in some ways or right in others.
Simple rules, all in RAF Barley Grey with suitable squadron markings (some Whiff of course), all straight out-of-box with no added extras. Underneath one wing I could put details of Manufacturer, release date and kit number so I know which is which afterwards.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Just found a slight flaw in the plan, I only seem to have 4 different kits to build, plus 2 more already done. Think I'll have to buy some more and concentrate on clearing the part-built stash first.
Somewhere on this site I wrote a list of all the kit options, need to find it and go from there.

Think I might give away some of these part builds to make life easier, I've lost interest in them.

Yeah, but could any of us raise the World Bank loan to buy one?  :angry:
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! :)
