I think I read in one my umpteen Falklands books that they repaired AAA damaged Harriers with duct tape aboard ship.
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

600 mph tape is a common "quick fix" before patching.  I know there was a C-5 hit on final to BIAP that took SAM/AAA damage to a nacelle (IIRC) and was patched with 600mph tape.

I'm impressed that he's rubbing it down well with that small rod. I bet he's a demon modeller too.  ;D

It's prolly got a Lockheed part number and a 4 figure price tag...

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

It is, "600 mph tape" is a joking reference, speed tape is the more usual name.

~$30.00 - 40.00+USD per roll depending on manufacturer, distributor source and per roll or per case pricing.
I might even still have a bit from my heli days.

The top one is very Disney, you can almost "see" the face.

The bottom one, along with your origional one, however are what I would consider to be very French or Belgian comic book in their style.

The bottom one must be the world's only biz-glider, it seems to have no engines......  :o

The bottom one could be built in 1/144 using a 1/24 modern jet drop tank.

On the page just after there is a front view, slightly from above: there are 2 little jets under the fin (like DC-9, or biz-jet Mystère-20/DH-125 etc.). Here they are hidden by the wing. Do you want me to scan the front view?
