Mark Atkins has provided two entries for the ARC annual "Silly Week" and both are rather impressive WHIF models.

Something for the DeHavilland fans.  A few images of a shiny WHIF Mosquito FB (WIP) by ARC member Bear13583.

Now, I don't normally go for stuff with Swastikas on the tail, but damn if that isn't one of the nicest models I've seen this year :wub:

Maybe because it's April 1st, but today's update included this item, a German Zero:

Hmmm, "somewhat" found at ARC. Wasn't actually posted at ARC, but linked to. Seen at the IPMS Open 2010, somewhere in Sweden (I guess).

Saab J 21B.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Nice model, but what's whiffy about a J21?

Not sure of all the different details, but the RW J21 never had a bubble canopy and the tail plane is in the higher location like the jet J21R instead of the lower position like the prop version.
We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Yeah, this is one where you have to look twice. As Ed said, the canopy is different. The J 21B was a projected version. It was supposed to have a different nose armament (3x 20mm guns), a radar pod and a stronger engine.
