Boy had a game in Kitchener so stopped in at the Hobby shop there and came out with a 72nd scale Academy/ Minicraft  Boeing B-50D kit. Not sure why....but it was on sale for $37.

:thumbsup:

Paint it high-vis with extra lumps and bumps and make it RCAF ice patrol, perhaps??

Not a bad idea ! I was going to do it in camo as late war RCAF type....but somehow I just can't imagine her looking good all grey and green.....

Off eBay another new Fujimi 1/72nd RN British Phantom FG1, i can get new kits for the price a 2nd hand ones will go for at SMW this weekend, so its one less to look out for, although i would quite like the 25th Anniversary boxing if anybody spots one at the show.

Those Fujimi UK Phantoms are superb, by far the best 1/72 rendition of the Spey engine F-4 anywhere. I think I have 3-4 of them, worth every penny. Well done Geoff.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Received it much faster than most stuff bought of ebay as well  :thumbsup:

No worries!  I work fast - even our toaster has reheat... :lol:

As to what to do with it, I have one in my stash - I was thinking of giving it a rear ramp to make a light transport?

Captain Canada

I have the Yellowbird boxing. Not sure which one you're looking for tho.

Beautiful kit tho. They were on sale at Aviation World in Toronto for 10 or 15 about a decade ago. I should have bought them all...... :banghead:
