Got the ancient Frog/Novo Gloster Javelin on the bench right now, fuselage and wings glued up. A few days ago I received some Irish decals from KiwiZac that I was going to put on the Matchbox Hawker Fury, but they're way too large. So, after a history involving a short-lived German invasion of Ireland during WWII, and consequently much better relations with Britain in the interests of mutual defence, Ireland was provided with slightly more up-to-date military eqipment than they might normally be able to afford. The Javelin could be one such aircraft, and I'm pretty sure I'll use it for the decals. Might see if it could be used for anti-shipping, seeing that Ireland is like a giant aircraft carrier off the west coast of Great Britain. And I like a simple sea grey over white scheme, not very colourful but so cool.
Anyone got suggestions for weapons? Probably don't have anything suitable in the spares bin, so I'll probably have empty pylons with just a mention of them in any pack of lies back story written up.
