Alan got a bit miffed when I slated the box art, putting a post war RAF Bomber scheme with German Me-262's  :banghead:

Usual half arsed thinking, copied the cover art from BSP:3 and put it into WW2 setting without any real understanding  :angry:

They even included a more suitable decal option for late WW2 which they should have used for the cover art !!!  :thumbsup:

It was also supposed to be very high altitude bomber, well out of reach of flak

About time someone did the 559, it's just SO bizarre.  :thumbsup:

I just wish I could afford FP's prices.  :-\
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! :)

Just a smidgen under 29cm in 1/72 scale and an EE Lightning is just over 23cm. Somehow I thought it would be larger than that. I'd like it but it will have to wait a while .... a long while!  :-\
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

You sent some master shapes up to me in late 2003 and I took them up to the Glasgow show after I got back from Ibiza in late September.

I have a few of Fantastic Plastic's kits, they're really nicely done. But I only go for the real projects (paper or built) but the sci-fi stuff doesn't really interest me.
