What a lovely model of the A-26 Barney, (and it's good to see it's civil rego discreetly hiding down the back-end :D ).
All this talk about aircraft ownership has me thinking.....A26s, F-86s, and Tiger Moths would be great to own, but all I really want is my own 707, (surely that's not to much to ask :D )

Ray I think owning one is not so bad as long as you can park it somewhere on your own turf - make a very cool house I'd think. Challenge is getting onto your own land. You'd be in heaven living in your own 707! Owning and flying one - hmm, possible if you're a movie star, got in on Microsoft or Apple shares early or related to the Saudi Royal family! :D

Doesn't the new GM need his own corporate jet? Hey, it's a tax deduction if you put the company name on the side! Win Win! I'm sure the locals would love to see a ol' 707 thundering down the runway at Essendon again, turning their freshly washed whites on the Hills Hoist out the backyard a nice grey colour from the soot fallout! Cough cough! How uber cool would that be - in your face Travolta, here's TOR's 707 (who in fact worked for QANTAS - not a QANTAS wannabe)!

Eric,

I've seen this kit in the flesh. It's, how do you say, BIG. MUTHAF**K#$G ENORMOUS ! You'd need a pantechnicon to move it anywhere and a large garage, displacing the parking space for one car, to build it.

Last sighted in a Melbourne modelling establishment. But it may have already been spoken for.

OK Eric, you've now heard from Nicolas just what a incredible kit this Concorde is - buy it sir! Imagine the 1/48 Concorde and Valkyrie gleaming in your cabinet! You may have to buy another one to house these two beauties! :D
Do it for yourself, do it for A/CAM, do it for the Australian modelling fraternity - you know you want to deep down!

Am I being suitably evil enough yet to convince you just how necessary these kits are to you? :twisted:

BTW, my evilness has had a 100% success rate on Ray in regard to 1/32 racers! :D

Cheers

Adam
