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

Yep - rarely see him these days but we know each other through Bikersweb and used to bump into each other at rallies. Small world indeed..... ;D

Even smaller than you think.
He told me your Bike R Sweb handle and I think we may have met about 11 years ago when I was on there as RP2...

We did indeed!  ;D ;D ;D

IIRC you and Hamster were something of a double-act until you went off abroad......

That is stunning. I wonder if he has a dark tinted cover to place over the diorama to give a nocturnal edge to the whole thing. My father has an incredible ability to judge distance; he was watching an airliner climbing to altitude and turned to my son and said "That's about 12000ft. If we were standing on the wreck of the Titanic that plane would be at the surface". Cue goggle-eyes from the sprog....

I always remember one flight flying out over the Atlantic as a child and the Captain came on the intercom and stated "we're passing 35,000 ft which is incidentally the depth of the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench". It was astounding looking straight down and imagining that kind of depth. I've always loved it when pilots give out interesting facts and pointers :thumbsup:.

I just noticed it, and you can barely see it, but he also has her underway on the opposite side of the mirror.

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

Ooh, like that!  It's a whiff as well, a T.5 with a radome
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

And it's about to follow its torpedo into the sea, what with the throttles closed, full flap AND full down elevator!  :o
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! :)
