It's been years in the making, and I finally finished my Lockheed Super Lighting A-38. I'll post pics in the next couple days, but this one's a slightly different direction for me.

22/7! Ha!

So I changed the name to "Turbo Lightning" as I was writing the article for Silly Week. It should be there Sunday, and then I'll post the pics and story here.

What all of those guys said!  Excellent build sir!!!!!  Do you have an in-progress thread/photos anywhere?  I'd love to see how you made this bird  :drink:

Unfortunately, I usually don't take in-progress pics, as I've usually got hundreds of projects on the go at any one time, and this one is no different.

I do know I hate making ordnance. Twenty extra little models..ugh!

:bow: Soooooo beautiful! :wub:

But you know you just have to build a second one. As a high-speed photo recon aircraft.  :party:
Cheers,

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?
