Sr-71

[Eddie M.]

I've been down in the dumps lately and just had a root canal 2 days ago, so I'm feeling like I need some "instant" gradification with a speed build. My wife and daughter bought me a 1/72 Blackbird that was on sale for $5. B)  I'm not going to let the whole cat out of the bag, but I will say that for a pretty penny, this bad boy will get you to your destination in the US in under 2 hours.   I started at 1700CMT. Pictures to come shortly.

Scale-o-rama into a 1/144 airliner? YES!!!

We can't wait, Eddie!

I hope you're feeling better from your root canal.

I'm lost with the scale o rama.  Not sure what you mean. It's going to stay as is, scale wise. It's pure what if. Not even trying to make it look plausable. More of an Alvis type build than anything.

Thanks BdaB. The tooth doesn't hurt now. It did feel like a gorilla with a jackhammer was working in there after it was said and done. Now it's all good.
