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

Imperial purple isn't far from the wrapping of a certain chocolate bar.  The Cadbury Lancers, or possibly the Bourneville Yeomanry.    A whole new field of Whiffery beckons.

I've always associated Bourneville with a dark red colour  ;D

You are correct, but I was thinking of the place not the dark chocolate.

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! :)

im now assembling one of the GPMG SF  teams https://www.empressminiatures.com/baor4-british-infantry-with-fixed-mount-gpmg-2314-p.asp
it is a thing of beauty in  itself, and watchlike in in its construction  ;D ,  but is rather more bits than  id like the crew are 2 one part figures ( spotter and No2) the gunner has a separate arm, not a major problem,  the body of the GPMG is one part,  the tripod base is one part and the legs are each separate, 5 parts for the gun...  :o   ( to give an idea of size the GPMG body is 3/4 of an inch long)   and the ammo can and belt are a separate single piece, 
im am going to end up superglueing my fingers to this one if im not careful  :banghead:

does any one know a dealer / modelshop with a decent range of the PLATZ  range?,  im after one or more of very specific F-15J models they do.   the white dragon, and the mountain art versions.  Google has been less than helpful, the link it gives via Britmodeler goes to a shop that dosn`t seen to have any on their site.

i know that 2bobs did the white dragon as a decal pack but despite trying to find it for i wile ive turned up empty.
