You evil evil English type person you !!!
Because of your freaking suggestion I've just brought another Mk19 Spitfire from academy just for its Griffon engine because I did some profiling with the Griffon on a Tigercat and it looked bloody epic .

Slippery slope mate.  You'll now be thinking about what to hang off the front of the Spits...

Well, he'll have two ex-Tigercat Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasps floating around, looking for new homes. ;)

Some Evergreen 10 and 20 thou styrene from 'Models4Sale', which are handily 6-7 miles from my 'country home'.  Destined to be the -C wing on my F-35D.
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! :)

Ok, so $60nz are 36€... :o  :o  :o  HOW? How are things so cheap there? Just the resin cockpit sets would be more than 40€ final price bought within the EU... and that is after digging through several stores to find the cheapest...  :-\
If stuff was that cheap here, i'd surely have twice as much aftermarket stuff... Just one of the resin cockpit sets you got is over 25€, with shipping included because most Portuguese stores have a very limited selection of aftermarket products... :banghead:

With that said, just the Bam models 1/48 F-18E/F/G CFTs were 35€...  :-\ and finally made it to my house after the second trip from Cyprus to Portugal... :rolleyes:
And ii finally have the big F-4E... :wub:
