    The latest re-release of the Airfix 1/48 Folland Gnat trainer has the Yellowjacks as an option. Which I am going to do. Had an opportunity back in the 80s to get a ride in a Gnat out at Planes of Fame. You don't climb into a Gnat, you put it on. A very fun 20 minutes.

    What a great choice, Tom @tcinla!
    Will look striking in that yellow.
    I've got the same kit (older version) to build, so I'll follow this with great interest.

    Nice one Tom, looks different with the black tail, is there a reason you're calling it Yellowjackets ?

    Yeah, for some reason I've always called that team that, but now I realize it's "Yellowjacks." Edit/correction made.
