Hehehe, actually no, but as you mention it......

Revell 1/72 Stealth Comanche - an RoG boxing of the 1994 Snap-Tite kit. Just had a quick look...inaccurate and seemingly based only on photos of the mockup. Perfect for my needs

[Radish]

Picked up 2 Airfix 1/72nd Lightnings....an F2A and an F6 with 25% off full price at a local hobby shop

I collected my two Airfix Defiant starter kits from my eldest daughter y'day. What a SUPER job they've done of it, I'm seriously impressed.

Had a couple of deliveries today :-

Bandai 1/72 Tie Fighter from Japan

Modelsvit 1/72 Beriev Be-12 Mail from Ukraine

Both look rather tasty 

[KiwiZac]

Brengun 1/144 Mignet HM.14 Pou du Ciel. Definitely the smallest model kit I have ever purchased. Exciting (longtime Flea fan) and also terrified.

Trumpeter 1/72nd JH-7A Flying Leopard, from ebay.

It's a completely new tooling compared to the horrible old FBC-1 and looks, in the box, much better. The fuselage is certainly much shallower and in proportion. Got some interesting stores with it too, including four Sea-Eagle-like AShMs and four missiles that look like ASMPs. Sadly, there's no information about any of these, but as whif-fodder, they're very tasty.

The reason I want this is to turn it into an invented British type built in the late 1960s as an alternative to buying the Phantom. After all, it's powered by two Speys and looks like a Jaguar/Tornado mash-up so why not. Thoughts are to replace the Russian-looking fin with a Tornado one, lose the ventral fins and fit Jaguar-style guns.

I have a part-built version of something similar, based on one of Spinners' SF2 profiles from a few years ago. Sepecat Panther, as an alternative to Tornado.

Cool!  The Ratte is out.  Must have one of them.

Glad to hear they improved the kit and got the proportions right this time 

Good idea on adapting it to a late 60s RAF type, in effect it becomes a fixed wing alternative to AFVG based on the Jaguar Trainer. Should be an interesting one that I look forward to seeing. A 1/48th French Jaguar fin might provide what your looking for as would be easier to add RWR than scaling down the RWR on an RAF version kit. Might be worth seeing if both are provided in the larger scale kit as might be easier  to get a surplus fin then from somebodies stash ?
