Hello folks!

My name is Paul and I just arrived here. I think the best way to introduce myself is showing a model... Am I right? So, bellow is my Phantombolt (or Thunderphantom?).  ;D











My What If thoughts started when I bought a great box of spare parts. The plan was to use the parts in other models, but somewhere in my rusty brain cames an idea ( sometimes this happens  ;D )... and if I combine some of these parts to create something "new"?

The model above was finished in 2013. I hope you like.

Thanks for approve me to the forum.

Cheers!

Paul.

Building stuff like that automatically qualifies you for the Forum Paul, you hardly need approval.  :thumbsup: :bow:

Welcome to the nuthouse.
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! :)

Regards
Kit

Absurd.

Bizarre.

Grotesque, even.

Just that tinge of sanity lurking behind the sofa.

Utterly wonderful. Love it!  :wub:

Welcome to the whiffery.
Cheers.

Thanks for your words folks!

For me, one of the best things in this hobby is: I can travel in the wings of the impossible. This is a poetic way to say I can build crazy things.  ;D

Best!

Oh nice one, and welcome aboard!  :thumbsup:

It rather reminds me of Tomzoo's artwork which we just found on Deviantart: http://tomzoo.deviantart.com/gallery/49155510/Aircraft

It's a 3d cartoon.
Excellent.
Welcome.

- 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.

I like it also, mainly :
- the markings of a "different" country
- the heat marks on the tailplanes after the jet exhaust, "proving" this is a Real airplane, not fantasy at all!
Welcome! :thumbsup:
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]
