@sullybiker Ah, classic Marlboro livery! :) I'd say, it's still a symbol of F1, although the races are mnow very different from what they used to be.

I have a McLaren MP 4/4 model kit from Tamiya lying in my closet. :) Can never make time to start assembling it.

...also two Soviet airplanes, and another McLaren. 😅

@SeventhMagpie Which aeroplanes? I saw the MP4/6 at Goodwood Festival of Speed a decade ago. It was terrific.

@sullybiker Tupolev 154 and Ilyushin 86. I began assembling TU-154 at some point, even painted some parts, but have not finished it since. :)

@SeventhMagpie In 2009 I got up close to lots of Cold War classics in Krakow. So many of them just sitting in the field behind the museum.

@sullybiker That's sad to hear.

We have a Tupolev 144 in Monino museum in Moscow, that is being restored by a handful of enthusiasts out of their own pockets and some private donations. No funding, no nothing. It's a real shame. A legend should be treated with more respect.

@SeventhMagpie You might be amazed what motivated enthusiasts can achieve.
