Got LOADS of them, but it'd overwhelm the thread and the site if I posted them!  ;D
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

Then a new thread in the cars and figures section I'm thinking 🤔 😅 😏
Honestly though it would be pretty cool to see what you've done so far ...as im betting like it is with most if not all layouts ..it's never truly finished  ;D
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 .

OK, I may do that.

It's been doubled in size since I first built it, and re-built once since then, with a few more details added, but right now it's a bit moribund as it needs an electrical update as some point motors have died, but I'm working on our club N Gauge layout at present, which is OUSTANDING!  :o

But hen it would be, wouldn't it?  ;)  ;D

Oh of course it would be mate 😂
Ain't it always like that ?
And yes you should start a thread but now not only yours but the clubs aswell...attention to detail in these are always amazing and also a birth place for ideas 😉
I used to get a US model railway magazine out from the library when I was a kid just to look at the layouts ..nothing else and matey the inspiration was brilliant for diorama building which is why I started to build them ...it's very cool stuff 😎 👍

My build is advancing: main parts assembly complete, and now a coat of white Vallejo primer, with some drops of - appropriately - french blue.

Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Build completed at last.
I refrained from a flashy paint scheme, did it in blue as favoured by Tophe, even if in a darker shade than sky/baby blue.
Race numbers and name are home-printed decals, mos of the others come from a BMW 320i set.





As seen on pylon-racers photos, race numbers on the underside are turned inwards.


Our team managed to sell sponsor space even on the undercarriage doors, but had forgotten that the doors opened inwards   :rolleyes:  se we had to refund Billstein half of its money....


I had drawn the race numbers in bright red, but applied on the model the decals are very dark, laser-printer colours aren't enough "strong" when I use a transparent sheet..
Maybe I should try to print the decals in yellow, and again in red, and apply them one ove the other.

Very good.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Great hilarity here west of the Severn!  ;D

That's SUPERB, and I love the fact that it's swapped left to right from the original B&V design.  :thumbsup:
