Would anyone like to play "Guess what's in the box?"



It's no fair peeking.




Oh, alright. Go ahead and look.

Nice! They look like a bunch of kids on Christmas morning. Looks like it was a tight packing job!

I vote GR.1 Harrier nose if one could be found. The GR.1 nose just looks a lot better than the GR.3 laser nose, but any Harrier is a good Harrier.

It's the latest large scale offering from Airfix.. and you thought the 1/24 scale Mosquito was big

Getting the wings back on is tricky. I remember watching a few guys hanging from the wing tips to try to get the spar bolts back in on Art Nalls Sea Harrier. Any chance it will ever fly ? if so you'll want to defiantly talk to him. They have a good maintenance schedule on his and clearly found a few bugs.

Pima has an increasingly international collection. Good for them.

Judging by what I read on the other forum, I find some of the UK aviation fans are getting increasingly parochial/nationalistic.
It's good to see a US museum bucking that trend.
