Nice one Brian.   I like this one a lot :)
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Another brilliant bash! It looks great. :)

That's going to be a monster of an engine in there, by the way. :thumbsup:

Lovely job again Bri! :thumbsup:
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.

Superb

Okay, so that I don't mess myself up again for this year's nominations, I've saved the link and title of this great little build to my personal Word doc listing potential nominees for the 2009 Whiffies Awards.

Original concept.
Scratchbuilt parts.
Kitbashed parts.
Scale-O-Rama conversion.
Customized markings.
Great backstory--believable and humorous.

What more could a fan ask for?  Thanks, Brian!
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

That's an excellent piece of scaleorama Brian - well done!  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I spotted the He-70 canopy (purely 'cos I've got one) but nothing about the rest of it looks "stolen" at all - masterful.  :bow:

Missed this thread until today.  Another spat-tastic masterpiece Brian - 2009 Whiffie material without a doubt.  Looks Lockheed Vega-ish, and from the side not unlike  the Shorts Seamew (only prettier).  Well done.  ;D ;D
