Weird they certainly are, but I quite like the look of the STT Excalibur. I can just envisage one of them crammed in the back of a Bev too.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Interesting Martin, especially the Drone Carrier, although weird might be a better word to use  :rolleyes:

Quote from: Martin H on February 16, 2025, 04:33:39 AMThese also gave me something to test out the set of Ammo paint marker pens that I picked up at Telford for the small details etc. .....I like em they worked a treat.


Good to hear  :thumbsup:

time for a few more compleations....Again 3d prints.

First up the aircraft

The gannet models DeHaviland DH117 for the F155 requirement built OOB bar replacement resin redtops.
Paint job in mainly various rattle cans and decals from the decal stash.

and on to yet more targets. Back to the 1940's this time.


On the left we have the Williams Amphibious vehicle, amd on the right we have the Baker 4x4 "jumping Tank" armored car.



There seems to be more info online regarding the Williams compared to the Baker. Links for what I have found below.

Williams Vehicle page.

Baker Jumping tank page
I always hope for the best.

Where did the model kits, if any, of the 'targets' come from?

I like the DH-117 - looks like a cross between a Voodoo and an enlarged L-39, with Starfighter intakes. :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

It's a rather good-looking beast, bigger than you may think.  There's two or three others on the forum and they've all scrubbed up well.
