My father in law is 80 this year and the mother in law thought it would be a great idea to decorate his cake with models relating to things he has done in his life. He serviced in the RAF for 4 years in the 1950's so I am after trying to get hold of a small scale jet from that era. I have seen similar items being used in air combat wargames and was wondering if anyone out there in Pendraken Land knows of any suppliers as my searches have not located any.
Many thanks
Ian

Not sure any of those are suitable for use as cake decorations!

Few more details required? How big were you thinking? Which aircraft?
Tumbling Dice are amazing.
Go and wash your mouth out with Diet Coke and Mentoes!
Have you tried Combat Dealers?
Thank you for all your help, I will check them all out and see if I can get something that suits the idea lurking inside my mother in laws head :) :)

I dont think they want a 1:1 scale jet. though I suppose it depends on the size of the cake
Large ?
