That's pretty neat. Looks old, or they used really old decals.

Well yeah, the US Navy was cheap like that at times.  Budgets being tight and all - what with the construction of all those new super carriers and such.  So, yeah, sometimes the vendors they used for their aircraft marking decals were pretty cheap..

Do these things sell?
I feel like we should buy them up and create a museum of Whiff.

- 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.

AFAIK it is rare that such things pop up - as a whif AND in decent quality. Also very different how well and for how much they sell - normally, it is a pity what sellers get for their effort. Unless you have/put swatikas on the kit, then you can be certain that some target groups (esp. in the USA) get hooked.

This seller had/has some other nice whifs online, too, like an XP-56 in a similar livery.

Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Well that's a blast from the past!! Late 80's or early ninetees, I believe. I had a friend who had the Porsche group C variant  :cheers:

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! :)

That's what happens when you leave Land Rover and Jaguar designers in the same room!!

It  means that you read  the instruction sheet

That's a nice idea and model  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Captain Canada
