Great collection of F.155T types ... but that Lightning P.8 is the dog's danglies. Plenty of whif potential there  :smiley:

Other than vacform  ?
Ancient Contrail 1/72 Yak 28... you got both Firebar and Brewer versions in the same box, I only built the Firebar version though.


I  think A Model did one too

According to ScaleMates you have a number of Yak-28 Brewers and Firebar kits to choose from.  Check this link: ScaleMates > Yak-28 Brewer kit search results

The AModel Yak-28s are... well, AModel. With some effort, they build up nicely.
