That`s a damn shame. Such museums struggle to survive anyway, without this terrible disease. Would the community pitch in to save it?

Re: Wishes for hobby master

I think you`re right. It would certainly fit nicely with their IAF Mig-29 (& hopefully SMT in the future), as well as my parade day Sukhoi;

Re: HM F-18F Advanced Super Hornet, Loaded (HA5118

I think it looks very good indeed. Sometimes less `gaudy` markings are more. As in this case. Nice model.

They`ll sort you out. They`re a top retailer. I`ve used them countless times without issue. I think you were just unlucky. It`s the manufacturers fault, not the retailers.
