What a great shot of those two Peruvian Hinds taking off !

:cheers:

Yes....build some !

:thumbsup:
I will eventually.  I want most recent 1/72 Revell Hind but my usual plastic pushers seem to be out of them.  Still, it's not like i've got nothing to build...

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

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wow look at the weapons load on that Bone ! Awesome stuff. Really well done and all. Not a fan of the tail tho, kinda ruins it for me....as if there is something missing. Takes away from the powerful look to me.

I actually like the V tail. Makes it look meaner & sleeker I reckon! Love the whole model! Might be tempted to try this myself! <_<

It's because the tail surfaces are too small - just using the horizontal stabilizers and leaving away the vertical fin justis not enough to create an alternative V-tail. That will happen with any aircraft, you have to add some area to get a balanced look.

The idea is from the dale brown books where is a replacement for the old dog b-52 type aircraft
and even he says the tail looks small in the books

Don't they have active control for the tail surfaces in the books? I know there was some logical reason for them being undersize.
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! :)

That's a neat little plane ! Very well done by the look of it too.
