This is going to appear later in the year as part of a huge story arc involving aircraft from all the major modelling sites, possibly involved in a large dogfight scenario. Here's the first one done....














I used the 1/100 Lindberg Vulcan and the 1/48 testors Learjet. They are both awful kits and died to make a much more wonderful creation!

What do you guys from the UK think of the roundels?

Luv it!
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

That's EXCELLENT (roundels are fine by me!) :thumbsup:

Inspiring too, because I want to do something similar with my Lindberg Vulcan, but I want it to be a 1/72nd scale scaled-down Avro Atlantic for Patchwork World. Not found a suitable fuselage yet though....

Beautiful.  Probably the best thing that could happen to either of those kits.

love it  but what would you do for this site?
Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest.
Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for!!!

Oh, now that would be telling. You will find out when it's done. However, I have to say that it was likely one of the harder ideas to get settled out, as most sites have a specific theme or common aircraft...What-If, by it's very nature, is a tad hard to pin down. I did, for a very short time, think of making a Phantom named "Wooks" but didn't in the end....

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

Becoming a supersonic biz-jet 1/72? (or 1/48?) Great! :bow:
