That is actually not a that far-off Whif ! It is a model of the once planned Shenyang J-11 (not the current Flanker) and it once looked remarkably like a Mirage F.1:

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Thats Geoff Paynes J-11, looks like the prop job maybe Narces2 and the label is one of my Fairey FD-III, probably Coventry show about 10 years ago  ;)

Apart from the intakes it looks exactly like a Mirage F1.............
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! :)

A bit hit and miss but there are some thought provoking pics.
I'm not sure how long an ATAT would last in an urban environment but it looks good.

- 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.

Given how much trouble they gave the Rebels in the Battle of Hoth, probably a pretty decent chance.  Until the Y-wings come screaming in (which boggles my mind why they didn't use them).

I have a rather nice print by Ashley Wood the AT-AT reminded me of:

Yup that's my Magna Vickers Venom. Must be 10 years ago at least
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That ekranoplan is pretty sexy...



Even though I have doubts concerning the air intakes, and IMHO it would need some engines in front of the main wings, too, in order to create an air cushion at low speed. But it looks nice...  :rolleyes:


And there are these nice Airacobras that swapped sides...




And an ECR Vixen (which rather looks like a SLAR, but, heck, the idea as such is SICK!)!  :o

Is this misguided Alpha Jet visible?



Suits the aircraft well!  :thumbsup:
