OK, I'm in.  Probably (again) bitten off more than I can chew.  The fun begins tomorrow with NOVO Sea Vixen, old-school Airfix GR3, Heller Bobcat Harrier parts and scrapped Matchbox Hawk and Airfix F-4E remnants.

Match the bits up, glue, fill, sand and hope for the best!

I knew I'd forgotten something!

I have actually, some underwing stores - will raid the spares box.

**EDIT** Raid done.  Matchbox Phantom, Matchbox Lightning and Airfix Tornado GR1 now in the mix!

Don't know about a kitchen sink but if you find the right Hasegawa Skyraider you can include a toilet...

- 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.

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! :)

that looks " very right"  :thumbsup:
evan as a line of parts, it looks fast and stylish
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

I think the literally inaccurate term "cacophony of parts" may be figuratively appropriate here. :o

'Twas the intention (plus there's a hint of alliteration).

And the main fuselage halves are together now, with the infamous Airfix Pegasus cartwheel painted too!

Hmmm! Interesting!
Going to follow this one closely. I also started out with the old airfix Gr.3 and Hawk trainer front fuselage, wings from AV8b,
but the rear fuselage stretch stumped me. T'is still in the 'to do' pile! :rolleyes:

It does, doesn't it ?  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

oooh, interesting!  got very close to mating a Hawk forward fuselage to an OV-10 to make a 'British Bronco' but subsequently de-scoped (see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,45423.0.html - nearly but not finished).  had got as far as cutting up fuselages but then rejoined the Bronco bits.
