This was to be my second build of the 1 WKGB, but to do it right, I needed more time. No detail in the build (painted canopy, gear up). Just trying to make something visually appealing. This is a initial work up to see if the design fits. I think it might work out.....

'Smoke on, GO!' in the hover should be worth watching.....  -_-

For a while anyway, before the whole airfield vanishes in the smog!  ;D
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

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

I like Red Arrow schemes that are bit more funky, I think the current scheme could do with a bit of an update, just like this! :ph34r:
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.

Cool scheme - nice one Eddie!

Uhm.... aren't there a few red bits missing on that Union Flag, or is it from a Universe where Ireland never joined?

Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

First off, thank you guys for the encouragement!

trekaddict, I'm sure you're right. This is just a mock up to see if I can get a reasonable amount of the flag on the back of this aircraft. I still need to clean up the seams and stuff, so the paint work will be re-done. I do appreciate the heads up since it's not my national flag, I'm not as familiar with it as some. :)
