Another Mig!
You wait for ages for a Mig to come along and then there are 2! Following closely from the 29 below here is a Hasegawa 1/72 Mig 27 'Flogger', a swing wing ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1975. Someone that I mistakenly thought of as a friend once painted a real one of these at Newark air museum. It has since been painted again but remains the only one in the UK and the only one I have seen.

Will it fly?
Interesting to see this. There are an awful lot if ney sayers out there but there seems to be a genuine attempt to fly Nimrod XV232 from Coventry to Manston. Personally I hope they pull it off.

Mig 29
An Airfix 1/72 scale kit of the Soviet fighter that first flew in 1977 and entered service 6 years later and is still in service today. This was built straight out of the box using kit decals and all went together quite well.
