Erm, yes............ :)

The Transall that will donate its Tynes is the old Postal de Nuit Bobcat one, with the clip-together bits hacked off because they drive me NUTS!  >:(

I have recently bought Gabriel, which doesn't have clip-togehter bits, thank goodness. The add-on sprue for the ECm stuff is great, you even get the under cockpit radome on retracted and deployed positions. The Armee de'l'Air only had two of them so the choice of RW versions is limitied, but in a fit of madness they sent one to RIAT a year or so ago and I got zillions of piccies of it.

Anyway, back to 'dynes. How about a Merlin rotor, complete with BERP tips, with the 'dyne's jets embedded in the tips? As I'll have eight of the noisy things there's plenty to spare. I tried it with an MH-53 rotor and it looks just too stupid for words. There's a blade every foot! :(
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! :)
