Krockian Flopwhopper!

First up is a letter which sounds strangely familiar even though it's 17 years ago...

Next is part of the front cover and the fantastic art...
(BTW this is Fine Scale Modeller of April 1988)

And here's the B-2 ATB picture...

This is the write-up below it, I'm havig trouble getting a decent quality AND keeping the file-size down

Part of the Mig-37 article...

MiG-37...

And they _still_ haven't made a decent Flopwhopper...

Well, there was the Esci kit, but it had raised panel lines

I suspect the Flopwhopper was a copy of the Farley Fruitbat, and we know just how good they were...  
Farley Fruitbat!

This is the second place that I've seen someone mention the Farley Fruitbat, but no one's ever explained what it's supposed to be.  A little help, here?

[Swamphen]

"Quick, Farley, to the Batcave!"

*ahem*

Actually, I'd like the scoop on the Fruit(bat), too...

Only perhaps the most versatile and most used aircraft ever designed.

Follow the link posted by ol' saint Nick for more on this hopefully soon forgotten plane. Even one look at the image will show you how amazing that bird was.
