Bought the bomber because it was fairly cheap....
Then spotted the NFII, and I know 85Sqn flew them, so a plan was hatched...
They also flew later NFs too, so the XIII is going to receive double stage Merlins and become an NF36, because they wore post war makings, including the chequerboard.

As for the BIV, I found out that 85 also fly the few (7 I think) NFXV, which was a high altitude experimental fighter, but it had a bomber windscreen....

so today i left my job..............got a new one to go to at the end of the month..........i knew the rest of them would take a collection and buy something cos its what always happens but i had no idea what they would get..........my boss even said that i was the most difficult person to buy something for.....(which isnt true cos either a model kit or single malt whiskey does it for me every time lol)..........so i was surprised when they did actually get me a couple of kits!

not what i personally would buy but then to anyone who isnt into models will automatically think of Airfix , will never have heard of Tamiya or Academy or Dragon but they were still much appreciated and will certainly get built

the Minis caused a few smiles.............better explain......i have always worked in QA or QC jobs......mostly in the automotive industry......where ive just left makes bits for the likes of Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Renault...................and BMW Mini!!!.....specifically the shiny bits that go round the bottom of the screen, on top of doors and round the rear screen.......and they are a pita!!!! lol........told the QA Engineer that looks after BMW if i have any problems he will be getting a Concern Report lol

As well as the Airfix 54mm kits, there is a 54mm Resin kit as well as a bag of spare Historex arms and legs.
