...
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
-
W.H.Auden (1945

excellent!
But some (members) of the Key forums really lack sense of humor:banghead: :banghead:
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I tend to agree Archi,

It's a sweet build, what if (of course, but then it's the 1st of April) and yet there were still plonkers who couldn't help themselves. 

Attitudes like that ("that's the thing with what if modellers"... patronizing berk!!) are exactly the reason why I don't do mainstream clubs or associations.

These attitudes also explain why I quickly gave up the Key forums, too much "annoying people" there
(see mods, now I'm quieter thanks to the doctors little pills, sorry for the extra-work this morning)

Remember when I posted Ysi model there ?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice build, and also nice to see some people chewing out the wanker who griped!  :thumbsup:

That thing was cool.  The grumps can all go soak their heads.  What a great looking bird.  It got me thinking "twin-tail B-1".   :wub: :wub: :wub:

I've been attempting that EXACT thing for the past year, but I'm no flankerman :bow:

Imagine telling Ken Duffey that he lacks knowledge about: a) Russian/Soviet aircraft and b) airframe engineering.  :blink:  What a bunch of schlubs.

Wonder if he ever peruses this site? 

Anyhow, beautiful model and it looks like he had fun.

Indeed!  :thumbsup: If anyone has a copy of Andrei Fomin's extensive and detailed "Su-27 Flanker Story", look on the copyright page at the acknowledgements to those who assisted in preparing the book. In among all the Olegs, Vladimirs and Konstantins, you'll find a solitary English name -  Ken Duffey.

Mind you, after years of barbed comments from Ken about my succumbing to "The Dark Side" when I put whiffs into our Soviet Aircraft SIG display, he goes and builds a bigger Soviet whiff than I've ever attempted!!!!  :o I'm not sure whether to congratulate him or poison his coffee at the next Nationals!!  ;D

The joke fell flat.  If the modeler had better working knowledge of photoshop like some of our guys do, the joke might have succeeded.

However, that model was a thing of beauty! :wub: :wub: :wub: :thumbsup:
