Damn you, tempation!
Okay, how many finished models are in my gallery? None. (What gallery?)
How many models are “in progress”? Erm, about 6-7
Would it be a good idea to finish one of them and use the lessons and skills from that build on the next model? Oh yes.
Therefore, it wouldn’t make any sense to add to the stash, would it? Not really…
Anyway,
Here’s my new acquisition:
Oh, and this… another £20 one bidder wonder. This would make it into my top 10 planes, and I’m really looking forward to adding this to the collection.
I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I really like the A-10. It’s so brutal, so functional, and I can find beauty in that. I also love the sound of these things. I can vividly remember being on holiday in Pembrokeshire sometime in the 80s, splashing about in the sea and seeing a pair of A-10s skimming the coastline, and hearing that unmistakable whine of the engines. A sight that was repeated several more times during that holiday. Fantastic.
