For fans of Little & Large ;)

Followed by a 1/96 FROG Valiant.

I cobbled this together from an incomplete selection of broken parts and the stand was robbed from the Lindberg Victor kit that I'll be building in this GB.

I hadn't spotted this gallery earlier.

Here inspirations for the builds that I've completed.

First the A-10 - another Italeri build with different units on each side.

This the AFRES side.

Italeri-A10-A-AFRES-FS.jpg

This the ANG side.

Italeri-A10-A-ANG-FP.jpg

This and my grey model are both Italeri, a superb kit.

 

Then the Airfix Super Etendard,  refurbished with leftover decals from my Italeri build. 

Airfix-Etendard-FP.jpg

Airfix is originally from Heller mold, and is a better model than the Italeri that I built.

 

An Airfix US Navy A-7 Corsair.  

Airfix-A7-E-Corsair.jpg

And a Matchbox USAF Corsir.

Matchbox-A7-D-Corsair2.jpg

Difficult to say which is the best of this bunch - neither are very good.

 

Finally an Airfix Harrier GR7.
