Sure does!  ;D  :thumbsup:
Although i like shark mouths on my models, this one wasn't bough especially because of it but, i'm sure it'll be used somehow... ;D

And today, bought from a private seller from Germany, my second 1/72 Mirage IIIE of the defunct PJ productions cause IMO, one can never have too many Mirage kits and it was at a good price... :mellow:

I got the same direct from Eduard when they were on a too-good-to-ignore deal :D Could do with finding a suitable contraprop for....reasons. And some mojo.

UK prices for these kits are good, about £14 each.

Hasegawa 1/24th scale Lancia Stratos HF "1977 Monte-Carlo Rally Winner"

Wanted a cheap one of these for ages and finally got this at a reasonable(ish) price because the green+red Alitalia decals are all degraded and cracked.

Doesn't matter to me of course, since I have something entirely different in mind for it, Cobber... :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:

Gosh, what a surprise!   I will be fascinated to see what you do with it............a Lancia Cirrus or possibly Cumulo-Nimbus, perhaps.

Or maybe something more thunderdome cloud related?

Today I received from BNA a Chengdu J-10 Vigourous Dragon.



This joins the Mighty Dragon and Fierce Dragon already in my stash.

Don't they have any Soft Gentle Dragons over there?  ;D

I suspect the current naming may be a bit ambitious regarding their actual capabilities, yours may be closer to the mark.

The Feilong and Qilin  seem to be reasonably gentle dragons.     This reminds me of a story I challenged a class of 11 year olds to write about how the princess saved a dragon from a ferocious knight.       Seems that most of the class were on the dragon's side!

I seem to recall that in most stories she duffed up the prince whilst the dragon stood by and cheered her on.

I think you and I have been reading vastly different fairytales..... Obviously she duffed up the dragon on her own and then disdainfully dismissed the useless Prince...

Tut! Tut! Tut! And all this from the Land of St George, the Dragon Slayer! Yes, dragons are all cute & fluffy, until theY're eating all your livestock & burning down your villages unless you sacrifice a virgin to them*![shakes head sadly]




[*: I've been told that the reason they're always sacrificing virgin princesses is because they can't find any virgin peasants.]

Who's going to save the dragons from the ravening princesses though? Death by excessive hugging and shame from being dressed up in pink baby clothes is a thing.

Seriously, watching reactions to Game Of Thrones is eye-opening. A couch full of 20-something girls will watch with equanimity as a dragon roasts hundreds of conscript soldiers who are absolutely not responsible for ANY of the bad things that have happened, but let somebody point an artillery-scale crossbow at the dragon and suddenly the horrified cry goes up:

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Don't hurt the dwagon!!!!!!!"
