Looks like the Tumbler met a door wedge.

I seem to remember a Jay Leno episode where he took it for a drive ---- at least it was something almost like it.

It was it, see right here ---

While there is only one true Batmobile (1966 George Barris) the Tumbler comes close.

Didn't one of the later Fast & Furious movies have a wedge car in it?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Couple more pics on Twitter: LINK!

Israeli Su-30SM ain't half bad either!  :wub:



More pics on Twitter: LINK!

EDIT: Sorry for the huge MiG pic. I had the proper width tag and that seemd to work on my PC when I posted it. Looking at it on my phone now it's huge. Fixed that. Very strange, though....

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

That Israeli Su-30 is very nice, but then it's an exceptionally attractive colour scheme

I remember a One Week GB that specifically prohibited Israeli and Japanese F-2 camo schemes as they were considered WMDs - whif of mass destruction (distraction?).  ;D
The orange bits of the test and eval squadron make it even more attractive on this Flanker

Misleading? A Russian pic? Surely not.................  ;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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Neither the article nor the caption claim it to show the new family of helicopters.
