Real nice conversion Burncycle! Wanted to do one from the Isle of Man Air Force but keep getting outbid on ebay.

Are there Manx decals available? I've wanted to do a Manx Spitfire for some time now.

Only ones I can think of were for Manx Airlines so I would have had to paint them by hand on a BD-5 if I had one. Or have a crack at printing them myself.

Originally the kit, which gives two aircraft, one BD-5B (prop) and one BD-5J (jet), was by LS.
It is now available from ARII and you get two of the LS kits. i.e.four aircraft in all.

Paul, I got the ARII kit in Jamiesons in Glasgow about four weeks ago £12.25.

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

 :wub: :wub: Thanks for this harmonious & delicious creation.
Surprisingly, you did not mention you turned the BD-5J into a twin-boomer, as it was not the main change... Was my memory wrong, was the BD-5 already a twin-boomer? I have asked Google and found http://richard.ferriere.free.fr/3vues/bd5j_3v.jpg so... yes, you are the genious creator of this twin-boom beautiful layout on a beautiful BD-5J... I clap my hands :thumbsup: :bow:
Though I think a jet-less BD-5 has been turned twin-boom, scale 1, and flown. I will check the name and confirm.
Thanks again! ;D
