Ain't sure yet. :idonno Maybe a mecha. Maybe an M4A2(76)W called Biffo's Bus from book 5 of The Red Gambit series. That was used by a British crew in Northern Italy in early 1946 fighting the Soviets.

Some of you will remember that I spent a lot of modelling time in the 'What If' camp, and produced a couple of 'good' models over the years, but never once did I wander in to fantasy or sci-fi...
... :idonno Dunno why it seems like a logical progression.
Anyhoos, think I'll 'geek-up' for this campaign just don't know what to do yet, but I'll think of something. In the meantime and by ways of inspiration here's a couple of my 'What Ifs' from a few years back.
Canadian Mirage F1 - there was a really cool back-story for this, don't think I kept it tho'
Finnish Ta183, just a 'progression' of the Luft 46/47 storyline.
Norwegian Corsair+, remove all carrier gear, upgrade the radar (from a Hornet) and give it a new radome, and a slinky new camo scheme that flatters it's shape.
What If the RAF got F-89's in exchange for allowing the US access to its' bases in Cyprus and Malta in the late 1950's ?? - Just a thought.
Instead of SLAM Eagles & F-16's, What If the RoKAF went with Rafales for their Phantom & F-5 replacements ??
Models without stories, just painting challenges. Still love my Swedish Hawk !!
AFN.

OK...so I have been scanning eBay a bit while I am supposed to be planning my big lesson for Friday...but instead of perusing through 10,000+ entries- can anyone suggest some good US distributors for sci-fi stuff for knew-bies like me? 
I have a vinyl Batman kit and some MaK stuff but am looking for something else to whet the appetite...

Both Sprue Brothers and Free Time hobbies have some of the more conventional sci-fi kits. Then there is Games Workshop that has all the Warhammer 40k gaming models which are 1/56 (28mm) scale.
