I didn't have anything in the stash for this but I popped into Mr Models for some paint and came out with this too. ;-)

I've also ordered a 'tooned' Thunderbird 2 but as it's a fictional subject it probably won't qualify for this SB.

I don't see why not... after all, it's a 'caricature' GB with nothing stipulated about the subject of the caricature :grin:

From the original post
For “’toons, “eggs”, and others along the likes of easy-build, pre-painted, snap-kits for quick fun builds that are not scale replicas but caricatures of real world subjects and not fictional creations.

Very sorry I cannot participate; bad timing for me.
My A6 Intruder eggplane will have to wait for another opportunity.

Cheers,

Sorry, Flak - I misunderstood.
Sorry Skypirate, would have looked good.

Well, I am going to move my B-24 into active, leaving my B-17 in-queue.

I dropped by MMC in Hinckley yesterday on my way to treat myself to a nice breakfast at Piggy's Hollow (yes it's a real place) and the friendly, knowledgable staff forced me to take this away with me...

They even slapped a discount on it to twist my arm. Inside the box are parts and decals for two complete models, one in ROCAF SEA camo, and the other in the ROCAF grays scheme. This goes into the queue, along with the Meng Lancaster.

I think I will do the Lancaster first, in a Tiger Force scheme.
