I did the Hefner 'Black Bunny' DC9-30 too. Straight Airfix kit painted black but someone did a decal sheet for it, Jet Set perhaps, it was their sort of thing.

Not only that, I've even been on board the thing.  ;D

When Hefner flew it into Heathrow in the mid 70s I knew a guy who was a photographer for 'Playboy' and other similar mags (it's a LONG story.....  ;)) who was also an ace figure modeller. (With his experience he would be too!) He'd got an invite onto the aircraft and asked me I'd like to tag along. Silly question.

It was pretty plush inside as you'd expect, just like a monster bizjet but with full height headroom. The girls weren't aboard though.  :angry:
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! :)

Regards

Okay Steve, let the guys on this side of the pond know who the (possibly) guilty bloke is.  ;D I see Chris on the left, I think that's Lance on the right...

Your right with Chris but wrong with Lance and the main character could or could not be Trevor, aka Howard of Effingham.  ;D

The guy you think is Lance is in fact Nigel Bunker the guy in the blue shirt demonstrating advanced Origami-itsu (i'ts an ancient Lancastrian martial art, much much older the Ecky Thump) is Ian Jackson aka IHG late of Lancs now of New Zealand

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