BAGS of Whiffing scope there.  :thumbsup:

I just wonder about the practicalities from a military standpoint ?
Who said anything about "military" ?  :wacko:

How about a civil, long range record breaker with extra long wings!

Hand the man a cigar.  ;D  need to find the right wings and Bobs your Heinkel.

Lots of stuff

To stay with Heinkel you could use ALL the wings from an He-111Z and remove all the engines.   ;D
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! :)

Well this is going to piss off Combat Kits: Valom have come out with a injection Twin-Pioneer, for about the same money (RRP) as CK's resin one. S&M models were selling the Valom ones for £35 at Coventry...

That's more like it, but still a tad pricy.

Hmm, I'm thinking Caribou-a-like, dart turbprops, tricycle gear and a stretch.  A quick search on Secret Projects shows Scottish Aviation were thinking in the same lines.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Looking like  Valom are bringing out a 1/72nd scale  Vickers  Valletta. That would be nice , a Varsity would be a nice  addition  too.

My only experience with a Valom kit is their Lockheed XFV-1 Salmon.  Are all their kits that bad?

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I have ordered  a Scottish twin pioneer  of theirs,   but not  built any of their kits yet Fred. I  got bored Wednesday early morning  while sat on the edge of coniston water  waiting for the  pike to get hungry  ;D
