so I did fond a kangaroo figurine, but alas no scale-matching F-111 ...

however, another idea came to my mind, thinking of Tomcats (but they were too large for that), and then of a pair of F5Es (one in 1/72, the other in 1/144) :

Y'all had Skippy, we had Flipper.

yes, I know that one too ! (but had forgotten a bit, in between, with the many years ...  )

If they are grass-snakes ("couleuvres" in French), this is VERY lovely
If they are poison-snakes, this is frightening, fascinating with fear...
