    Starting to head back into aircraft building.Think i havent made a plane since 1990s.Phantoms have always been my jet of choice especially U.k ones.Back in the day i was keen to do all squadrons in U.k service from tactical Phantoms from 1969 onwards and then the air defence squadrons.Got the FG1 from E.bay and Fgr2 from Kingkit for 21.99 which is good price.

      My wife bought one some time ago for her office chair and I thought it was just a gimmick, but it turned out to be surprisingly comfy, especially when sat for long periods. A few of her team have now got them too, so thought I'd treat myself.

      From Amazon, under "gel cushion"
      That will put a stop to the accusations of "Was that you or the chair.....":rolling:

        Going to have to go there myself (building aircraft), I keep adding them to the stash, but despite saying I was taking a break from afv's here I am still building afv's...

          £9, unopened in its original 1971 packaging, everything appears in good condition apart from the decals, although I’ll see if sunbleaching has any effect before going aftermarket.

                  Been after this for ages, heard Dragon are re issuing the kit and no doubt more expensive. In my humble opinion the most handsome battleship made!
