Very nice!   :thumbsup:

Not for nothin', but I've always disliked the part of the backstory where one has to explain why this incredible idea failed to become the success we all wish it had been ... I understand that every heel has its Achilles tendon, every Eden its snake, but since this is all Whiffery anyway, can't it be a perfect world - just once?   :banghead:

I know it's not a realistic yearning on my part - but realists have to live in the "real world" and, quite frankly - that's boring.

Absolutely marvellous Tom  :bow:  :bow:

Noted.
My next back story will be a story of brilliant successes full of highlights and achievements!  ;D  ;D  ;D

I feel these would become popular with young well heeled city types for whom the high fuel bills would not be a hinderance to ownership.  The private jet equivalent of the 80's Porsche.

- 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.

Looks like it came out of a comic book - Tintin or Buck Danny  :thumbsup:

Very nice and quite plausible given the MJ-III Mystery Jet plans

Yes, that - beautiful - plane was in advance for its time. Now, or in recent years, with all the super-rich that don't know how to spend all their money (read arabs or Musk, Zuckerberg etc) it would be a success story.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Elegant! Reminds me of my "Mystery Jet" kitbashing a while ago, like the next (and bigger) generation. Nice!  :thumbsup:
