Have you seen the large scale aircraft available? I'm quite drawn to a 1/32 F111. One of the nice things with paper aircraft is the ripple effect in the skin, which is rarely seen in plastic kits.

I've seen the paper aircraft kits, but I think I'll stick with plastic for those - I've got a few in the stash that need building.

I was looking at YouTube videos of F-111's at Upper Heyford only the other night:

They were a common sight flying low (usually in pairs IIRC) over Silverstone circuit in the 80's and '90's. One day my dad decided to find out where they were based, and we had a great time watching them take off and land from outside the perimeter fence - under the watchful eye of a base policeman in a huge truck. Sad to see how the base has deteriorated now:

It usually double-posts when you 'return to topic' after posting from an iphone, but it's unusual for it to re-post after a delay like that.

i'll post a pic when it's finished!

I have never owned anything with an i-prefix

Might be a by-product of this bloooooming daft site re-jig I suppose
