The Gloster Meteor MkIV X-Wing, made from 2 old Frog 1/72 kits (the finish is a bit ropey as I had to rush it & I ran out of filler :rolleyes: ;D)





















the Meteor X-Wing shooting down the Arado 234 X-Wing, Dogfight Double  ;D

Absolutely absurd!!  Which is a good thing.  But to be correct opponents, should the Arado have large fins on the wingtips?

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
