Spinning off from the discussion here and with KittyHawk's new F.1 kits on there way, how about some more ideas?
To begin with, back in the '70s, the Mirage F.1 was widely seen to be the natural successor to the RAAF's Mirage IIIs. Dassault put in a major effort that also included some very enticing licence production options. Now taking it a step further, what if the RAAF acquired the F.1 but then the RAN, wanting to stay in the Carrier game, also did so? Maybe naval Mirage F.1Ms on a new carrier?
I still have a 1/72 Hasegawa F1 I built as RAAF years ago while I was at uni (late 80's early 90s) finished but for serials and small decals and ordinance. Not in a good state at the moment as I was living with my parents at the time and my dad dropped a load of washing, fresh of the clothes line, on my work bench. It is one of many old models I still have that need some TLC.
I actually had a couple of removal boxes full of carefully packed models I was storing at my parents place about a decade ago. All well and good until dear old mum decided the boxes, as there were mine, were a good place to put my reference library. Many of the models held up surprisingly well under the weight of various Janes year books, Friedman, Preston etc. but as you could imagine lots of broken under carriage, missing wheels, bombs and missiles.
I am in the process of relocating interstate at the moment so expect many more casualties.
