Fantastic post! Especially love the digi cam SU's, will that be a fleet wide thing or is it just trialing on a few air-frames? :thumb: :thumb:

These are just as good as the last time I saw them Chris. Tooled up Flankers and Fencers are that extra bit special in this set. How often do you get to see a Fencer topside, never mind a sweptback one!
