Birthday loot

There's some other stuff too, but this post covers the things you actually want to hear about.
The Su-17/22 Fitter was an important ground attack aircraft back in the good old days of the Cold War, so I've been after one for a while.  Supplied  (with only a little help from me by my father in law, Stan.  He also provided the Fouga Magister.  What's not to like about this machine?  It has quirky but practical French styling and will support my French Little Cold Wars forces.

Martin Rapier fairly hit the jackpot with this purchase!  I have some ideas for LCW Falklands games and the Sea Harrier will save me bodging a non-Sea Harrier.  Or rather it'll save the Harrier.  And the Wessex will be a very welcome addition!
John Armatys picked up this painted 54mm duo for me.  So far I have stuck them on my usual 30x40mm mdf bases prior to varnishing.

Glad you like the toys Tim. I had visions of your British paras riding gloriously into battle in the Wessex, and with a Harrier thrown in too....

A good haul- Will look forward to seeing the 'Fitter' come together.

Cheers,
