Just perused a shop while traveling for work. Scored a nice little group of kits:

2 x 1/72 Hobbycraft CF-100
2 x 1/72 Heller Dassault Etendard IV
1 x Revell Yak-38 Forger
1 x Heller He-112

Shop had many kits with a layer of dust and 20 year old price tags on them. A gold mine, and all too rare these days.
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

Is it as bad as they say?

I got, from BNA model world a box of detail stuff.  A set of 1/35 minigun barrels (for the 1/72 F-102 gun pack), 1/35 shackles & cable (for the D9 dozer) and a pair of 1/35 miniguns (couldn't resist them).

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

You might find some 1:100 bits, but I think the closest scale for boaty things will be 1:96...

Best off just using the canopy and use everything else from the Airfix T.11.  IIRC, it was geared to go with the old Frog Vampire FB5, which shows just how old it is.
