Looking forward to this. I have such a project in my long term planning as well, having had both the Monogram XL and a Sufa in the StashTM for a few years already. I just haven't gotten to that particular mojo phase yet..  :rolleyes:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

The problem with the Monogram kit is the lack of camber in the outer wing.

Today's haul from the Scottish Nationals, and all for £45

1 x 1/72 Special Hobby SH 72438 Short Sunderland Mk.I/II 'Flying Porcupine'

1 x 1/72 Sword SW 72079 Lightning T.Mk.4

1 x 1/72 Amodel 72108 Yak-28PP

I also bought a set of lining Brushes for £5

I haven't examined neither the kit nor the original subject enough to know, and I might be tempted not to either, in order not to strain my lust more than necessary.. 😉

Re the A-model Firebar - that's a beast of a kit for you, but the resulting aircraft indeed is a pretty one. I have one nearly ready for paint on the Shelf of DoomTM where it's been sitting idle for quite some time because of mojo. Intention is a slightly "upgunned" version featuring the later missiles used in the MiG-23ML series and a little more recent colour scheme. NMF is not my thing..

Under "New Aquisitions" there's a Swift from Airfix in the pile.

It was simply too cheap to ignore so despite having no immediate plans and on top of that, an Xtrakit variant in the StashTM, I just couldn't help myself. Having performed the mandatory sprue inspection, it looks a really nice kit though, so maybe this'll just have an alternative paint scheme or so, leaving the Xtrakit one for proper modification.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
