Airfix - F35B Lightning II

Something modern, the F35B Lightning II - RAF/RN flying off the Queen Elizabeth or Prince of Wales aircraft carriers (see below, the plastic has been put together, next grey paint scheme): 

It was a bit of a strange modelling experience as you can see that there is such technical complexity in the airframe, there is intricate detailing, but most of the tech stuff is hidden inside a smooth stealth anti-radar shape! 

I await the next Superpower arms race appearing in the "Model Shops" with interest

They all just remind me of a pointy dart or something Gerry Anderson would have built for Captain Scarlet in the early 1980's

I just yearn for propellers and WW2 is my problem

Interesting Board Game Blog: Post looking at specifically Modern Air War and another Blog's post that made me laugh out loud ;O

His other stuff is of interest too!

This on the other hand is too close to the bone, but I laughed anyway:
