QuoteGermans, Austrians and Swiss in a knife-fight that got out of control
Hopefully not with Swiss Army knives...."Hold on!  Let me draw my blade (grumble grumble), if I can find it....That's not it!.  Will the corkscrew do?"
"As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefits of it?  It liberates you from convention."- from the novel WICKED by Gregory Maguire.

QuoteWhen I saw BAF I thought it was Bolivian Air Force....Wouldn't that be interesting?
mmm, indeed, and if you hurry you can finish it in time for the Latin o rama contest  ;)

Got to agree with that Patrick - bought 1.5kg back from Ypres - for the girls in the office of course  :P  
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Lovely kit always had a soft spot for the viggen. Just the right look of weirdness about it.

Given the swedish passion for rugged versatility, the ability to operate from improvised airstrips and a design that enabled it to be serviced in the field I wonder why the RAAF never considered it.

But what the hell this is what if?

Hmm a RAAF Viggen, I saw an 1/48th airfix kit in a store not far from here. Be back soon.
Get this Cheese to sick bay!

I've sat in a Viggen and it was rather comfortable. The wings are pretty strong, they can definitely hold 8 guys for a photo shoot....

I've got an Aussie one planned with a brown/sand variation of the Swedish splinter camo, just have to get round to actually starting it  :huh:

Not to cause an international incedent here, but I prefer Swiss chocolate. :dum:  :dum:  :dum:
