MiG-23. No shortage of liveries on that one.

Yes, the Finnish received their first Gnats in 30th July 1958.They received a total of 13 aircrafts and after several accidents due to technical problems it was grounded in 1958 and removed from active service in 1972.

Thanks for the info, T!
The one in the pic, though, looks like it has Yugoslav markings. What's the story behind this bird?

Well how about something a little more off the wall,

Fleet Air Arm Gannet anti submarine plane.

A big bird and interesting if a little ugly.

(Supermarine Swift anyone)?

Another Century series fighter would be nice.....F-105 Thud or the F-106 Delta Dart (with bomb bays)!

In terms of historic significance, it's hard to beat the MIG-15, which I'll take in 1:72nd to battle my Corgi and Matchbox Sabre Jets.

**ChairmanMilo** · 05-15-2008, 02:12 AM

Saab 35 Draken for me please - in 1:72.

My bust again, Cruv. I should have specified 1/72nd for the Skyray. Sorry about that.
