Wooksta,  with the amount of small producers someone probably does,  possibly some of the foundry street violence range might work   http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/our-ranges/street-violence  :thumbsup:

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

From ev!lbay, a double combo: an 1:72 Dragon He 219 A-0 night fighter and a Hasegawa F-8E, the latter will probably meet a fate as organ donation bank.

I wasn't sure what an F-8E was so I goggled it.  According to wikipedia the Crusader was capable of taking off with the wings folded.
One of these episodes took place on 23 August 1960; a Crusader with the wings folded took off from Napoli Capodichino in full afterburner, climbed to 5,000 ft (1,500 m) and then returned to land successfully. The pilot, absent minded but evidently a good "stick man," complained that the control forces were higher than normal.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Lockheed C-69 Constellation and a Javelin prototype in 1/72 scale

The Wooksta!

Snaffled on ebay:

5 x Fujimi Spitfire mk XIVs - a mixture of high and low backs, C's and E's

The photo showed only four but one has two in the box.  17 notes wins the prize and four quid postage.  Little over £4 a kit that works out at.  Bargain!

Plus the remains of a Microscale Argentinian set with enough roundels to ensure I can do that Argie Spitfire F22 I've been wanting to do.

At last the 1/72 Roden An-12BK civil version.
Got an idea of converting it to the Chinese Y-8 AEW versions or a KJ-500 prototype as the Y-9 fuselage is a stretched version of the Y-8 cargo plane.

one new addition, one a long time coming :)

-Revell 1/72 Su-27SM Flanker
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

Went into my nearest Hobbycraft store only to find they had moved almost everything around. I wanted some Revell Contacta, the stuff with the metal tube as a nozzle only to find the only way I could buy some was with a kit as none was being sold separately. So....

1 x Revell 1/144 F-15E Strike Eagle Model-set. No idea what I am going to do with such a small model so it might end up on offer here.

You must have got the last one, they're zero stock now. Any chance of posting some pics of the conversion bits please?

From what I have read Kit it is only a conversion for the engine nacelles. It stops well, well, short, of being a conversion to an MR-3.  :angry:

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

Yes indeed Jim, I just wondered how they did it.

I wondered if it might fit something else if the 'something else' needed some extra boost.  ;D
