Looks as if no matter what I do I can't see the images alluded to in the link.  :banghead: :banghead:

I'd started something similar to this, scalorama'd the Revell monster 1/48 B-1 into a 1/288th long duration spaceship.  Never did quite get it finished...and has since disappeared.

Helps if its .com rather than .co as well

These darn keyboards, you can't trust 'em as far as you can throw 'em.......  ;D :lol:

(Says Kit, whose keyboard is missing WELL over 50% of its letters!)

You too? I guess we go through em' faster than others! In one semicon designing office, we used to wear out keyboards in 2 years or less, mice in 12 months, especially back in the days of the "rubber ball" types. Our poor admin (supply cabinet owner), she had to regularly keep a sign by her cubicle reading, "Yes I have mouse balls".

Did your admin person realise that could be misconstrued?

Awesome whiff on SSM.  Doesn't look to hard to build either.

Got it in one! The wings pretty much fit perfectly onto the fuselage, with only a tad of putty required to blend it. The hardest part was actually doing it, it was "in progress" for more than a decade. I've finally gotten enough 1/72 shuttle stacks that I'll be doing the ET/Booster/SRBs too, hopefully by year's end.

Our admin lass had a note by her desk " Try cleaning your mouse BEFORE you ask for new balls"   Come Wimbledon this was misconstrued in another way.
