Airfix 1/48 Frontline Fighters gift set...
Re: Airfix 1/48 Frontline Fighters gift set...
Just lovely, if one can say that about a fighter! Way to go.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Lyle!
Those are 617 'Dambusters' sqn. They were one of two squadrons equipped with the GR.1B on Anti-shipping duties following the Bucaneer's retirement.

Very cool! A most famous squadron. Do you have some Sea Eagle missiles for the anti shipping role load out?

I do indeed - the build comes from a specific GR.1B boxing - and has them included. They've basically pulled the Sea Eagle sprue out of the Buccaneer boxing and added it to the GR.1A box with a new lid the spure even has the Buccaneer bomb bay cover!

Very nice Stuart! Didn't that squadron change over to the F-35 now?

Thanks Medic - Yes they did, I don't know if they're operational now but they will be the first RAF F-35 sqn.

Well then I believe that they are embarked on the HMS Queen Elizabeth right now.

Work is progressing on the B - I've got the gear and a few more bits on. Got to start work on the pods, tanks and Sea Eagles next.
Cheers!
