Absolutely fantastic looking HUGE dirigible...look up "skycat 1000" on yahoo and you'll find some great ideas that they have for this thing (if and when they ever build it!).

Jesus!!!, you remember Speed & Power? I had all the copies of that and the annuals as well. It was a great mag for it's time....

If Trumpeter do make a 32nd scale kit, will it be and injection kit or a bloody big plactic bag??
It can't be Jordan, not enough silicone..... :)  :wub:  :unsure:  :unsure:  :ph34r:
