QuoteLast picture before the roll out...



I've been working on this for three months now! But, as all veteran kit bashers know, the real work starts not ends with the first primer coat. All of the many flaws are suddenly apparent and the endless drudgery of putty-sand-repeat starts.
What paint scheme are ya aiming for again? If its NMF for your kitbash you are a true masochist lol.

Itd still look hella cool though!

It's going to be NMF...

I've also done some landing gear tests this morning and the JetFortress is going to be one of those aircraft like the Il-38 and Convair 540 that looks they should be a tail sitter but aren't.

:wub:  :wub: nice hybrid Simon!  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I really like this concept but I am not 100% happy with my execution of it. I'll have to do another better one next summer.

Fantastic stuff!
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.

I think it's cool :)   Very Retro-Futuristic, semi sci-fi in a possible kind of way!

Glad to see it completed.

Outstanding work! One look is not enough. I will be studying this for some time. Very original and thought provoking. I can envision myself walking under it and looking up at that tall tail. I understand your thoughts of your execution, but rest assure, you did an excellent job. BRAVO ZULU!! :wub:  B)

P.S. Can we get a ground level shot so we can the gear it's standing on? :)  
Look behind you!

Wonderful result :wub:
But what is the meaning of Rescue? Isn't it only for Seaplanes rescuing sailors? Anyway, I would like to be rescued by such a beauty, do I need to be a 1/72 seaman? :D
