Airborne in a Philosophical Moment

Can I just add.....if you really want to get philosophical.....

If you add in the transfers, that’s probably how many parts there are in an Airfix spitfire…..seems apt if you ask me….

Interesting? My modelling philosophy (I've posted on this previously somewhere in here?) is I don't 'arm' my builds with bombs rockets missiles etc, not that I'm particularly of a pacifistic nature, sometimes warfare is the best solution. It's that I like the look of of my main modelling interest, aircraft, in 'clean' configuration or in a 'showroom' fresh out of the factory appearance. I built camouflaged and dull grey aircraft for most of my modelling life but now I prefer more interesting prototypes and research and development aircraft that tend to be more colourful.

My builds are a personal 'homage' to the clever boffins who create these technical marvels and not so much those who operate them in their intended purpose

I'm not sure I would have a conscience about building the assets of the most evil of axis powers, being a 'what if?' builder that is a distinct possibility!
I somehow managed to have a 1/48 Ju87 Stuka in the stash, not my scale or era at all really, so my 'what if' imagination is to build this most sinister looking aircraft and potent symbol of Nazism as a harmless and kawaii cute girlie model in bubble gum pink with hearts and flowers! I wonder what Hugo Junkers would've thought?
