Who’s going to buy me an Aston Martin DBX? Only $462,500.

I has fortunate to see an exhibit of many artifacts including his rifle and Bedouin outfit at the AWM a number of years ago.

Supermarine Seafire FR.47
Another one done, the Airfix 1/48 Supermarine Seafire FR.47. This aircraft flew with No.800 Naval Air Squadron, Fleet Air Arm from the carrier HMS Triumph during the Korean War in June 1950.
The Mk 47s equipped two front line units, Nos. 800 (HMS Triumph) and 804 (JMS Glory), and No. 1833 Sqn RNVR. To No. 800 Squadron went the honours of carrying out the last combat sorties of the Spitfire/Seafire family when, in June 1950, the Korean War started. HMS Triumph joined forces with the U.S. Navy carrier USS Valley Forge, and until Triumph was withdrawn from the conflict in September 1950, the Seafires had carried out 245 air patrols and 115 strike missions against land and sea targets without any losses due to enemy fire
One of the neat features is the contra-rotating props, although on the model they are stationary.
A few small issues going together although generally really happy with the way it looks.

Tatooine
Another binary star system found – cool that basically everyone just says “Tatooine-like” and we know exactly what they mean.
