Wow!  :o very cool idea and execution! :thumbsup: :bow:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Nice job.

Hmmm. will there be enough UAVs this year for a separate Whiffie category?

One can only hope.

BTW - great idea - I might try to suggest the idea to the General Atomics Aeronautical people next time I see them.  If you don't mind I will also forward them your picture - I'm sure they will like them.

Upnorth, yeah, it's originally the Platz kit & Italeri did a straight rebox.  I think Accurate Minatures added some hellfires which are lacking from the original kit.

Lovely job Mike & great to it see at Cosford yesterday!  Causing quite a stir, Ian asked me to forward on some pics to him so he can send them to the guys at RAF Valley.
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.

Accurate Miniatures was doing 2 versions, the first is the unarmed version which is the Italeri kit and the 2nd is armed with the Hellfires.

When I get back to work on Thursday, this is going to be sent to my good friends at  'C Flight' and SARTU at Valley. It will do one of two things:- Guarantee I'll be welcomed with open arms the next time I go over there, OR ensure I'll never get a flight ever again !!

Brilliant concept/execution/finish, Mike  :thumbsup:

Soooper model Mike.
loved seing it at Cosfoprd.
What you need to do is post that little, WHIF, story that you had attached to the base. Brilliant!

One of the stars of the show at Cosford Mike - terrific  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
