Mmmm, sticky toffee whiff pudding!

[John Howling Mouse]

Yep, looks edible.  Say, that could work: molded chocolate models...

[Rafael]

Barry, Mossie, now, that's an idea!!!!

[Eddie M.]

Very impressive! I admire your motivation to get things done.

[Rafael]

Thanks Eddie. Here's my proof-of-concept. Tinted polyester resin, no fiber this time, still some flaws I can't help without the aid of a degassing pot, and only flash to remove from the edges. Model completely hollow.

Hola Rafa,

Your continued skills never cease to amaze.  Given that there isn't even a hint of a kit in there, it just makes it all the more superb.

Keep this up and you'll end up as a pattern-maker for some superb Czech model manufacturer!

Thanks, Howard!

Here's some leaked pics from Neucom-Boeing's Factory shop floor with several airframes in various states of assembly, and AV-01 (Air Vehicle 01) first flight. The Neucom-Boeing R-101 Delphinus is an active stealth fighter, featuring two tandem weapons bays, Williams-General Micronics F-2011 Nanojet engines and the first fully enclosed, virtual-reality full-sensory cockpit, with 360 deg projected exterior scenery. In this first flight, Neucom-Boeing's executives authorized not only a normal first test-hop flight with undercarriages extended, but also authorized a full dry-thrust supersonic (at M1.6) transition on an economical supercruise regime.

OK, here's another one, the first NASA bird. An Experimental FRX-101, fitted with all kinds of instrumentation for investigative work on  advanced aerodynamics and neural interfaces.
