That definitely counts as a Whiff.  :thumbsup:
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Now that's pretty darn cool, right there!
:thumbsup:

Do you think Sheldon or Leonard had a hand in it? Or is it more a 'Howard-type Thing'?  ;D

Definitely Howard's work. He built the ISS super toilet after all.

Second that.  Sheldon wouldn't soil his hands with mere "engineering" and Leonard would have used a laser rather than a drill.

- 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.

Nice little video. The designers name, David Carrott is rather apt considering the test aircraft was a Convair 990.
