Boeing/MBB VA-105 Firefly

[cthulhu77]

Neat idea, I especially like how you changed the angle of attack on the weapon pylons...really gives it a menacing look !

[lancer]

You did that on SUNDAY? Amazing work again Rafa. Your skills yet again amaze and inspire me......right down to the wool shop for some more balls. Seriously though my friend, that is a superb build.

Who's for a group subscription to Kitting Monthly???

I like it          

But, what is that soft bomb hanging in belly?    

[Rafael]

Terrific, geniusly conceived idea, Ysi!!!!!

That soft blob down there is a tack-somethin-or-other, but in this universe could be a non-lethal, immovilizer weapon to drop on unfriendly crowds!!!!    B)          :dum:

Thanks Cthulhu, I did the dihedral because the winglet interfered with the side and back doors (too unnoticeable in braille scale), and also because not being a glamorous, pointy ended aircraft, I thought it would give it some credibility.....for the people on the wrong end of those weapons!!!

Thanks!!

Hi Lancer. Yup, it was made between more or less 10:30 am and 7:00 pm, I conceived it while walking past the abandoned corner. Saw this little, helpless cripple of a BO-105 and immediatly the voices        :dum:  :dum:  ordered me to grab it and do something....now!!!, well a voice told me CRW and CRW it was. The Plastic is all made in patterns cut from predrawn shapes i sized in Powerpoint (again). I'm at the office now, stealing somebody's computer. Later in the day, I'll post pics of the progress......

Thank U

Rafa

Okay, now I get it:  you're one of those guys who can put virtually anything together and come up with something I couldn't dream up in a million years.

How do you write "I'm incredibly jealous" in your native tongue?

Amazing.

How do you write "I'm incredibly jealous" in your native tongue?

Amazing.    

It goes like: "estoy increíblemente celoso".

No, John, don't be. People around here in this frorum is the most imaginative and creative there can be. Including you.

Thanks, Master.
Your Padawan,
Rafa
