Wow! I remember landing at RAF Wildenrath as a young soldier on my first posting and espying the serried ranks of these as the plane taxied to a halt. It was immediately clear to me that the Cold War was in deadly earnest; it was a stark image yet in a way reassuringly so; obviously we - the Brits - were taking this very seriously and I thought I'd better up my game. Not that I'm going to rush out and buy this one - the 1:76 Airfix one will have to do!

Nice! I'll have to go to their site and see what else they have; perhaps even a CIM-10 Bomarc missile for the Canadians out there.
