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! :)

Hm, rather reminiscent of my DC9-BJ.

Hehehe, although it's in the colours of my ex-employers it never really existed.  ;D ;)

CANSO

An interesting (even utterly absurd!) design for an attack plane - you have almost everything "bi-"there: biplane, bi-empennage, double bi-engines etc. The push-pull idea with different types of engines (Herr Dornier salutes you!) is amazing! I also love the rear positioned cockpit like one of a racing plane (or is the cockpit under the front turret? :rolleyes:):

Probably even the crewmen/women are bi...  :wacko: ;D

- 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.

I'm in two minds about how to take that remark...

Couple of Wiffs in September's SAM

A photo taken at the Scot's Nationals of a really nice 1/144 FAA Tornado M. Nice twin tails, colour scheme and armament  :thumbsup:

Full build article on an in-service Rockwell International XFV-12A. Builder combines parts from the Anigrand kit (which I've built) and the Whirlybird vacform kit. Finished in Aeronvale markings. Very nice  :thumbsup:

Good edition of the mag.

Added on 1/9/17

Not a wiff but interesting in the same edition there's an article on USN Reserve Airwing RAW 91. Now one of the units was ZP-911 which was a Blimp unit established in 1950. Now I knew the US operated blimps in WWII on over ocean patrols but had no idea they were still being used as late as the 1959 when the unit was disbanded. Indeed the unit took part in a  major exercise simulating a surface and sub-surface threat to the US East Coast in 1953.

Amongst the photos is a great one of two blimps in their hangar taken in 1953 sheltering from a hurricane. Most of the rest of RAW 91 is in their with them and is absolutely dwarfed. Including the 2 Privateer's ! Great article if just for the amazing mix of aircraft the units flew.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

November's Airfix Magazine has a really nice USAF English Electric Lightning in Vietnam style camouflage and US weapons. Could almost be tempted to do something similar  ;)

Also has a full build of the new tool Airfix Phantom

Well in my very latest Air-Britain AeroMilitaria (arrived a couple of days ago), there's a colour photo of an F-102 in the same scheme
