Do you mean a put together model ( like Airfix )or a ready made one?
There are a few jets still in use including the Tornado, Typhoon (aka EuroFighter), Harrier, Hawk ( Red Arrow) so do you know which one?

Argos is the only place i can see one, tesco say they have discontinued them and toys r us are out of stock.

Amazon are taking orders - might be worth seeing what the delivery date is. They have the pilot in stock at £14, which is the best price I can find for that.

Don't think my 8yr old knows they do a plane too - he had the tank and desert raiding set for christmas (thanks to Mr T), so I bet this will go on his birthday list once he spots an advert

thanx all its the one thats already put together as in Argos and funnily enough on the off chance I asked them to email me when it was back in stock and yeah they emailed me the following day so I ordered one to be delivered this week, hence a really happy 9 year old thanx for all your help tho x x

Do people really buy these for there kids, i really feel uneasy with kids playing "war" , shouldn't we be teaching our kids to be nice to each other rather than teaching them to kill others

Tin soldiers, chess (it is based on the art of war), cowboys & indians - war toys aren't new - and children will always find a way to play wargames.

I started life as a parent saying I wouldn't buy my children (3 boys, 3-8yrs) anything to do with guns or war - it doesn't work, especially once they start to mix with other children - the kitchen tube you intended as a car chute is a laser gun, the Happyland train set suddenly has a teddy on the tracks, their favourite film and story characters are superheroes and cowboys - it's just a way for children, especially boys, to vent and explore - and so long as you instill strong morals it won't become anything more

My eldest got mostly HM Armed forces for christmas - he loves the vehicles, but the soldiers guns are already missing, and his favourite figure is the parachutist - he loves the fact it actually works. The plane, btw, has now been spotted and is on his birthday list for the spring :rolleyes:
