How about...grafting the whole Vulcan cockpit onto the front of the shuttle, and creating a space bomber concept from the 70's...

just came home with another Revell 1/72 Sukhoi T-50  :mellow:
this will be built in Royal Genovian Air Force markings  :thumbsup:
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

The Wooksta!

Wilkinson Sword shaving soap.  I'm more interested in the container as it's circular - one half is tapered with what appears to be the correct angle for an Adamski style UFO.  It's still a bit small for my purposes, so it'll have to be a three man scout craft.

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! :)

Kit,

do you have any further details, e.g. a number? I've never heard of that one before as well - it's not the old IIIE/R kit though?

Sorry Martin, it IS a Mirage III E/R, but this one is moulded in BLUE plastic with decals for the French Republic's Bi-Centenary, not that I plan to use the decals. Well, not on the Mirage anyway.....  ;D

Airfix new Typhoon (prop)

Tut, tut, tut Kit. The new Airfix kit is simply the Typhoon or Hawker Typhoon if you must, the thing without a propeller should be addressed as the Jet Typhoon  ;D Should know better at your age  :wacko:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
