Hope to see some more pics soon.

What's the name of that 3-headed hell-dog?

As for the model

When I grow up I want to build models like that.

Fluffy!!!

Oh you meant Cerberus :dum:

Ga-gggaa-gaa-ga-g

Wow. Fantastic!

And I mean "Falling-down-hit-your-jaw-on-the-keyboard-then-the-floor" kind of fantastic!

I'd go with "Pit Bull" (just seems like a natural).

Have you shown your fellow modeller (Phil, I think?) this, yet?

I visited the LHS this afternoon, and in the new FSM, there's a Gallery photo of someone's kitbashed tiltrotor escort. The builder used wings and engines from a 1/72 Osprey, with the fuselage of a 1/48 Hasegawa Cessna Citation, with bits from a 1/48 Comanche and an AV-8B. It looked cool, but not as cool as this.
