What's in the stash that will be suitable for this GB.... let's see.... Hase Mig-25 ? Too 1970s. Academy Mig-27 ? maybe... Airfix Harrier ? Already being built elsewhere in the GB.... How about this instead.... Operated from the Kiev aircraft carrier during the 80s in the Baltic, North Atlantic and Mediteranean, the Yak-38 was Soviet Naval Aviation's only operational VTOL strike fighter, a 'Soviet harrier'. Inside the box - not only is the subject from the 80s, so is this kit ! A bit basic, on the plus side I might actually finish it in time ! Time to 'forge' on..... at least being a Soviet aircraft I know what colour the wheel hubs are going to be Was going to do this OOB, but might have to go aftermarket for decals. Plenty of time to think about it.....
