Awesome whiff on SSM.  Doesn't look to hard to build either.

Yes, a nice build by Alvis.  Think it is on here somewhere.

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! :)

Brilliant that!  :thumbsup: :bow:

I like the backstory bit about operating from Johnston Atoll, that's one WEIRD place and just right for that sort of activity.

I corrected the web address for future visitors.  If the builder (Alvis) is on this site I didn't mean to steal your thunder.  Just thought others should see this, it's an awesome build.  I have shuttle wings laying around, now to find a small scale B-1.

I can't get connected to the relevant gallery page either and that is going through the Starship modellers web site!  :banghead:

Sweet build. And with the retirement of STS, now eminently desired.  :thumbsup:

Gorgeous build
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
