Nice.  Interesting breakdown.  Wings don't swing though.

It would look good in a standard AdA scheme and markings.

You can build one of the two variations:

• wings at minimum sweep
• wings at maximum sweep

Madness that the wings don't sweep. The technology has been around for ages and it must be well defined by now.

I can see many attempts being made to sort that out before much longer.

Almost forgot the third option.

Nice kit, the M-16.
The base inspires a few ideas, too...

Arriving much quicker than expected my glue was accompanied by some chrome paint (AK - Molotow refill proving hard to find) and one of these (because I liked the look of it in the box art).

Unusually for a Japanese kit it has the bonnet moulded open.  But there is no engine, inner fenders, firewall etc.  Hmmm, tempting...

That means all and any options are on the table, as far as engine and bay are concerned...

I HATE MODEL COMPANIES!!!!!

They force me - Force me, I tell you! - to buy their models, even when I've sworn off any new acquisitions for a while!

Ordered yesterday:

1 x Thunder Model 1/35 British Scammell Pioneer Heavy Artillery Tractor R100 w/7.2 inch Howitzer (TDM-35212) - for a scene from "Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall"
1 x Gecko Models 1/35 WWII British Bedford MWR FFW Radio Command Truck (GEC-35GM0061) - for a scene from "Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall"
2 x Legend Productions 1/35 WWII 50 CAL Ammo Box set [Closed x27, Openx3, Ammo Belt x 3, Decal] (LF1388) - who doesn't need more Cal .50 ammo boxes & belts?
1 x QuickWheel 1/35 T41 Tracks for M3 Lee, Grant, M4 Sherman Early [C65994 end connector] (QWT-35072) - I can think about progressing my RW M3 Grant build
1 x Hobartville Hobbies 1/350 WWI Royal Australian Navy HMA E-Class Submarine AE1/AE2 (HO HHK-350-001) - like most people who buy this, I'll probably build AE2
1 x Eduard 1/48 WWII RAF P-51B/C Mustang Mk.III Fighter [Profipack] (ED 82109) - better than my ICM 1/48 Mustang P-51C & I'm a fan of the Malcolm hood

Ordered today*;

2 x Hobby Boss 1/35 LAV300 90mm Cockerill Gun (HB 84573) - c'mon, ya gotta!
1 x HK Models 1/48 DB-7B Boston III [A-20 early version] Medium Bomber (HK-01F015) - [Pre-Order] - 'coz!




[*: Because the email telling me the first item (x 2) was in stock came in this morning, & I just happened to notice that the 2nd item was available for pre-order this evening.]

Reading this in a hurry, I assumed that RB  stood for Rolls Royce Barnoldswick, as in RB163 (Spey) or RB  146 (Avon)

Russian.  See how many people think "MiG" and don't look twice.
