Seen at the latest IPMS Australia club meeting, the man behind Uncle Les's Models had this on the table

It is 1/72 something like the Airspeed AS47 project (I think)






There were indications that this might become a kit, not necessarily from the Uncle Les stable though.
Another demonstration of the wonderful world of 3D crafting to produce stuff

That looks really cool. Would be nice if we got it over here in Blighty.

A cracking machine, love the offset canopy.  :wub:
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! :)

It's certainly an Airspeed project and a cracking model  :thumbsup:

Personally I'm not a great fan of the things. I can understand when they are offset to allow for either a centre line cannon or driveshaft, but then they are necessary evils. There again everybody to his own  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

High-speed bomber concept.

So a Sea Vixen-style seating arrangement, then.
And the offset looks to be to accommodate the nose gear, so logical.

Doesn't Unicraft do one ? Or he does one of the Airspeed push/pulls I'm certain of it anyway  :angel:

I just checked, sorry, and no he doesn't...................currently.

For some reason I think I got it confused with the AS 31, which is nothing like it  :banghead:

I'd hope the pilot had some sort of bang seat to avoid being sliced and diced by that pusher prop if called upon to abandon the aircraft. Love the concept though.

Airspeed is right, that thing looks obscenely powerful.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
