Building that seems harder than solving a Rubik's Cube.

At least a Rubik's cube can be considered pretty.

Pretty it ain't but I still love the look of that bird, particularly the wing fold.

I see at least two more places where they could have added wing folds

Now, now gentlemen. It s a beautiful aircraft and served well for it's country, raising eyebrows wherever it went....................................... And yes. I've had one on order since January. So if I get mine before 1 Feb next, pin your ears back boys as I'll be buzzing in with this beauty.

The goal being to fit the plane into a briefcase, I assume.

Looking forward to this one. With the Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer, Sea King and now Gannet - that's the 1970s Fleet Air Arm inventory well catered for.

I just wish they'd re-release the Sea Vixen again.
