OK – is this ‘discussion’ going the way many do. Airfix has a range of kits that is probably unparralleled, many unique. OK, so some do require work to produce a masterclass model, but you could say the same of the old Frog Shackleton with its 10″ high rivets, or any Matchbox ( Revell ) kit and their ploughed panel lines.

I suspect that many of the people passing comments are more ‘assemblers of plastic kits’ rather than true modellers.

I for one am hugely relieved that Airfix, and Humbrol, look secure, and if I have to use a bit more wet and dry/filler/scratchbuilding – so be it. If you don’t want to put the effort in, there’s always Corgi – but I can build a more accurate model than that. 😉

There’s a thought – just when will Typhoon be allowed out to play ‘down South’ ?

GR7’s with Paveway lll are a lot more capable than the old 3’s of 1982. However, wasn’t part of the Vulcan mission to show UK had the capability to reach mainland Argentina?

I wonder wht they’d have done if a Polaris boat had popped up off the coast with 16 hatches open?!

Port Stanley?

WA$.

Nah – we’d need to get the Victors flying to support it……….

One can dream!

Khe Sanh approach in a Sentry – novel I suppose…………

She can’t have been with HL long. Belfasts retired from the RAF in 76, and she flew in in 78.

I thought the crack started at one of the RDF cut outs on the roof?
