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! :)

Went to AJ Aviation for a tin of Humbrol 119 and all I got was a
Copy of the latest edition of SAM
An ESCI F-104G/S
An Airfix dH88 Comet
An Italeri RF-84 Thunderflash
3 old copies of SAM for free

......and a tin of Humbrol 119.

Now if the good lady had gone to the shops for a tin of peas and come back with new shoes I can just imagine the fuss  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
