    Thanks Allan, I am no expert on Mustang variants - I am glad to be able to correct the inventory - my mistake and not laziness on your part for sure!

    Just to update the inventory with the builds I will be doing for RAF100,

    Spitfire Mk 1 and Hurricane Mk1; 1/48; Airfix - both will be Dunkirk planes - which will be my research focus for part for the next 6 months!

    Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin; 1/32 WNW - which flew for both RNAS and RAF in 1918

    Sopwith Snipe; WNW 1/32 - 1923; 56 Sqn out of Hawkinge

    Hello Paul, I would like to add a second build next to my Harrier GR.1. I looked at the inventory and noticed that the MQ9 Reaper is still missing. I will build the 1/72 scale Italeri MQ9 from 39 Sqn RAF Waddington.

    Ferry, this is really great, thank you - the RAF in the 21st century (whether we like it or not) - so the addition of a UAV is perfect. I am putting this in the '2000s' unless you let me know differently - I believe they have had their 'lifespan' extended.

    'Exceptionally' suitable Allan! Thank you for being a stalwart of this group! These are both beauties and slightly off the beaten track, which is great !

    There has been a tiny bit of 'Mission Creep' with the 'previous builds' list if we were being sticklers for the 'RAF' categorisation, but essentially, for me, the history of the RAF is nothing without RFC and RNAS pilots and planes to lead into it. I am going to build one that flew in both RFC and RAF service in 1918; I certainly don't consider 'Commonwealth' Royal Airforces to be even slightly part of that 'mission creep' - they are essential to the story and intrinsic to the service, as are 'yanks in roundels'!

    Thanks again Allan, I will add them to the list.

    Alan and Tom - thank you both so much (again!) - between you, you own this inventory! From the 'communications flight' to the VC holders - it is exactly what this project is all about! 3 more for 100 previous builds!
