A fantastic collection and your whiffy nomination is absolutely deserved!

What a splendid collection: well done!  :thumbsup: :wub:

I have a Pegasus Salmon in custody which is destined for Blue Angels colours when I pluck up the courage to attempt to build it....

Oh...I can imagine how this could have looked with the Blue Angels: Not only would they fly in formation but they would have for sure done a formation VTOL start!  :wacko: :wub:

...and a hovering formation 360 deg spin.... :wacko:

An add-on to TomZ's wonderful collection is a Version C of the Martin 262.

Found this interesting vid in my news feed. Great pics and diagrams but a rather immature  script.

As a taster the Version C looked like this, the Version A is the one that Tom modelled, and the Version B had the props just forward of the wings.



Props in the middle, eh? A Great idea............and how about that veritable forest of flow straighteners just forward of the props?
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! :)
