The Wooksta!

Possibly.

At least 6 Spitfires have been thrown into the Disposals box.

I'd like to have another crack at the Boeing Washington AEW & C which looks very similar to the Chinese KJ-1 based on the B-29/Tu-4.
I think by using the Rolls-Royce Tynes taken from the Heller C-160 kits and the spare rotodome from the HS.748 AEW 3D printed model, the stand will be scratch built with spare parts added. I also intend to build an ASW version in the 'what if the Avro Shackleton hadn't been built ' theme.

Now I've completed the laundryverse cycle (still need to post the other two here) I am looking at my options.

Likely:
* finish the remaining civilian figures and the special ops prints from Ali express and store for future usage

Maybe:
* Tamiya Japanese defence forces emergency response vehicle, but that would need a Yokai model which might be hard to find in 1/35
* Vietnam era Sherman but in full apocalypse now style psychedelic paint
* German steam punk rocket cars

Unlikely:
* kitbash a 1/35 helicopter into a small space ship. Way beyond my capabilities atm.
* Hookland-based diorama, maybe with a stone circle and a 1950s UFO observation team

I have nothing in the stash other than the figures so my options are wide.

Definitely going to build something that resembles the Shorts Hythe. My version of the Lockheed C-130 amphibious seaplane and the Breguet Atlantic 2A. Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion AEW & C.
