One may be old(ish) & Australian, but one is not stupid!  ;D

Not impossible, although I have a rather nice looking modern metallic red one here at home which is tempting to replicate.


PS: I've had to scrub back the cockpit glazing (again), so I doubt this will be done by the SA Plastic Model Expo on the 11th & 12th, but I'll try &, maybe, see if I can sneak a thermos in.  :banghead:  :rolleyes:  ;)

The McDonald was one, and I believe they did a Campbell as well, but there was a legal case brought against them by the Court of the Lord Lyon, and they were all withdrawn, a great pity.

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Eldest daughter & grandsons are due to arrive in about an hour, so close to zero chance of model work for the next few days.

Then it's into Expo prep mode, &, as I don't think I'm going to get this finished in time, I'll probably put her on the back-burner until I get more free time - I'm not going to rush the finish.
