1/24th conversion

I saw that.  Unfortunately the 1/24 version is sold out in both of my usual places to buy.  But i've told BNA I want to be told if they re-stock.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I hadn't seen that before (my focus is 1/35) but I've done the same, as being about 45% larger might work better for my purposes.

The 1/35 version may find itself attached to a smaller vehicle (I have 4 or 5 quad's in the stash ;) ).

This is Max Rockatansky's Pano.  The other iconic car in Mad Max.  It even comes with a piece of gate through the radiator grille and Cundalini's hand...

Now THAT'S fine detailed!

Picked up some Hataka late WWII Luftwaffe  camo paint for my Bv 148 and an Academy Ho 229 flying wing today, the latter OBVIOUSLY needs longer wings.........
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Scanning those Karaya captured markings could be useful in future.  Just sayin...

Jon I think you just made Kit a very happy man 😆 😆
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

In the mail yesterday was a Dragon 35th scale Sd,Kfz .234/2 Puma and I got it for $25nz..the reason is it has no upper hull..turret or guards/fenders ..other than that it's brand new with everything else there which is perfect for what I have in mind.
I was going to hack up the upper hull anyway so this works out quite well  ;D

Cor, really? I'd never have thought anyone would have kitted it, you're on, thanks very much.

That does take my Rule #1 to the extreme a bit, doesn't it, but I LOVE it!  :wub:

It's a Czech resin kit with very little to it.  IIRC, I got it at Donnington in '95 and I'm unlikely to do anything with it, so happy to pass it on.

TBH, I think there's very few things left that haven't yet been kitted!  Even if they are very obscure kits.  Don't know if anyone does a Cunliffe-Owen Concordia though.
