Looks pretty dern good so far Martin. I don't know if this is funny or pathetic, but until this, I had never heard of the F-103.

And Alvis, the more posts of yours I read, the more I want to worship at the altar of you! Hmmm, a vacuum cleaner/street sweeper tank......The gears are turning, not sure if thats a good thing.  :wacko:

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

Looking good Martin and goes to show why Anigrand are good introductions to resin kits (as are some latter Magna's)

After looking through all those, all I can say is wow, and does anybody have a box of tissue? Cause I need one...or five....

Alvis, will you adopt me?

Sorry for the attempted thread hijack, Martin.

Hannants stock them but I get them direct from Anigrand in HK where they are considerably cheaper, and their service is excellent, you usually get the stuff in a week or so

That's gonna look so cool!

Just to concur re ordering Anigrand - 7 days door to door, excellent service from Arnold, extra vac form canopy for about $1 if wanted and up to 30% cheaper even taking postage into account
