    Oh my, I remember my NEW Airfix catalogue describing how a model kit was conceived and produced by showcasing the NEW S-3 kit! 🙄 (where's the 'geriatric' emoticon? 😒)

    Not a good idea, next thing they will be saying "It is true, it is written in The Holy Book!"... 😏

    On that note: why not a reboxed Ukrainian 'fishbowl' Canberra? 🤔

    Fond memories! I had several Matchbox Sabres... and several Matchbox Me262. I used the remaining Sabre decals on the (alu painted) Me262s, which resulted in rather interesting looking what-iffs! 😁 I always found Matchbox decals were very resilient, they had no trouble clinging to the (very) matt Humbrol enamel (that used to cover well in a single brush stroke, or so I seem to recall... 😁). 😏

    Nice! Does this mark the triumphant return of the silver-coloured plastic sprue? 😁

    The Frog Dart Herald? 😏

    Kleine Brogel 8 sept. 2018... Now a historic modelling subject? 😔

    You never know if Heller will some day come 'round to it! 😏

    Well, according to this venerable topic, the Airfix one is the 'most correct' and Heller got the dog tooth extensions in the wrong place... KP's plastic is pretty soft and fine detail, like the landing gear, suffers a bit IMO. The engraving is quite acceptable to me. Construction doesn't seem to be all that straightforward: sanding, filling and sanding again, judging by the few builds I have seen until now.

    There really is a strong resemblance. The belly insert is also quite comparable. And the wings (Heller in green). The position of the dogtooth is close to the Airfix one, as opposed to the Heller (which has the superfluous cutouts for the lights).

    Interestingly, most comparisons have been with the Heller kit. I got out an Airfix Alpha Jet (in a Heller box) and what do you know... KP on top.

    To answer a question with a question: is it different from the grey used on the Canadian F-101? Hannants sell a Canadian Voodoo grey in their xtrapaint line. 🤔

    There's even an Airfix boxing of the MPM meteor that includes a Belgian livery (of a different squadron).

    There's even a Belgian version! I'm chuffed! 🥳
