Rear view showing the twin booms.

In "twin" I hear "two", not several, obviously this model needed a little "improvement"... <_<

More satisfying for me (crazy) but less satisfying/solid for the users (sane)... sorry :-\


Hehehe, but would the pilot be flying the whole Aircraft or just the tailplane?  ;D

Thanks everyone, glad you like it, but it's not actually finished......

I woke up this morning and realised I'd forgotten to glue in the nav lights!  :o
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! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thankfully the design wasn't forgotten.

;D




Where did that come from Jon?

I like it a LOT!  :thumbsup:

It's got even longer wings too.  ;D

So much for adding the nav lights to the SM-77.  :banghead:

I found them on the Lanc's clear sprues OK, and they're MINUTE! Maybe 1 mm x 0.5 mm, and while cutting them off one of them pinged into orbit.... :(

Of course I have TWO Lanc kits for this job so I cut the nav lights off the other one.

While fetching the model itself from its place of honour on the sideboard, all three vanished.  :banghead:

I've no idea where they went, and there's no sign of them on the floor, so that's Plan  A out the window. I may have a go in doing them with some Krstal Klear or equivalent. On the other hand I may say 'The hell with it' and not bother.

That's what I'd do. Or just skip the middle man and use "thick" paint ?
