Birthday Haul
I managed to get a good haul of new kits for my birthday this year... I'm really happy to get all three of the V-bombers, although I've no idea where the hell I'm going to put them when they're built, but they're the ultimate extension of my renewed interest in British Cold War Aircraft. Thankfully Airfix were doing a really good bundle offer on their website, otherwise I wouldn't have managed to get all three. The little Red Arrow (BAE Hawk T.1) is the relatively new tooled Revell kit. My interest in the Red Arrows has grown since I started reading ' The Red Arrows ' by David Montenegro, a former Red 1 and Boss of the Reds. I'm not normally a big fan of Revell kits but I wanted the current Red Arrow markings (with the Union Flag on the tail) and the only kit Airfix supplied with these is the starter kit, which looks okay but I'm not happy with the basic level of detail - so we'll see how this one goes. I might even get a Folland Gnat T.1
