Ha! maybe some 'what if' high speed paint is needed!

OK, I was thinking of when the Lightning was first with them in the 60's.

Just collected my Miniart 1/35 Chev 1.5 ton Panel Van.
Looks lovely in the box and hopefully will go together nicely.

The big selling point, other than 'Because it's Cool!', is that there are 2 sets of side engine compartment parts - one for the plastic grille and one for the PE; and this means the conversion I plan of the GMC 2.5 ton truck into a Chev 1.5 tonner is a whole lot easier, all of a sudden!
(and yes, there is a Chev 1.5 ton truck available now, but I already had the GMC sitting waiting...)

Ooh I like that.  I wasn't aware of them.  I might have to get one.  It'll look good with big modern military truck wheels on it.

Glad to help...  :thumbsup:
Have a look at the size of the wheels some of the off-roaders put onto the Volvo Sugga... real rock-crawling stuff!
Now all we need is a 1/35 Sugga...

STARFIX? Isn't that pretty much a whiff in a box?

Received today

1 x 1/350 Atlantic Models ATK35015 H.M.S. Andromeda Leander Class Frigate (Sea Wolf). Bought as no conversion kit is available for the 1/600 Airfix kit to this standard so there is no option other than to buy a 1/350 kit and scale it down  :-\

It happened again guys ..control and temptation got the better of me and it might just have been a bloody good thing to.
I'm not going to list everything right now ..to much to list and it 9:14pm here and I've just got home.

I picked up among other things..alot of other things  :o  my 32nd SU-27 and when going thru the box I also found 32nd scale F-4 Phantom parts..quite a few parts in fact ..I have completely gone thru it but ill keep you chaps well informed 👍  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

How big is a 1/32 Su27?

Temptation also got the better of me, but on a smaller scale.

According to Google Translate anyway.
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's something I wondered when a friend told me he had bought a 1:48 B-1B a while ago...  :rolleyes:

I thought you'd just bought your 32nd copy of the SU-27  :banghead:
