The box artwork looks like the OXCART scheme the A-12 had when operating from Groom Lake. If I was doing it, I'd do the NASA livery .....which was black. |

If you're doing it as an escort (oooer) for the Valkyrie, remember a SAC sash :) |

It was good to see you too mate. I understand you rushing off. SWMBO was obviously bored and not too happy about being there. I know how that feels mate. I'm more than happy with my purchases. Didn't pay more that a fiver for anything except the Pembroke. Went to see the "collection on sale in the crewroom and certainly was not going to pay £50 for a TSR2. Glad I didn't as I got on for £30 at the WAVE |

I had a good time at the aeroboot as well, & thanks again to DF for the lift there & back. I did not come away with such a big haul, but a few "gaps in the stash" fillers. Airfix Gnat, the other Pembroke, SR71, sadly missing the instructions :( & the other vac form Hunter. 4 kits for £18.50, I dont think thats too bad... :) Really looking forward to the june one now.

Will we be displaying a pair of fully built vac form Hunters then? I've been looking for [arts and Aires do a cockpit and wheel bays, and Aeroclub do (or did) metal undercarriage. Looking at schemes for mine, I think I'll go with the red, white and grey trainer, like I mentioned in the car. Partly because it looks nice and partly because I don't have to try and get the gun ports to look right... |

Ohhh, an RAF A-10. Haven`t seen a rendition of that one for a long time so will be looking forward to seeing your one. ;) I was refering to the tail codes on the A-10 kit box when I wrote the `stinks` comment btw. :D |
