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

Revell 1/1750 Clemenceau /Foch aircraft carrier
These are going cheap so I might get a couple more to build a super carrier twin hull . This will be a my first time using this scale and building an aircraft carrier .I hope to  build in a larger scale if all goes well .

Bought as a job lot from a 93 year old gent who's eyes are no longer up to the job of building small scale, so he is clearing his stash. Estimated to number 2-3 thousand kits!!!!! He is ex RAF, Started in the 1930's on Blenhiems and finished in the 60's on Vulcans.

And arrived today from Ebay.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Who does those and where did you get them from please?
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! :)

Possibly Pavla Kit, they have a set of replacement front and rear ends.  Looks like you have to use the middle from the kit.
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Now they look pretty darn good, I think I may get me a set of them, thanks guys.

I have the Pavla B-47 ejector seats already and they're excellent, if I hang around long enough they may just mould a 'Silver King' pod as well, although a filed down Grand Slam may work too.  ;D

I'm going to use them to create a six engined B-58 Hustler,  I got the idea from a fellow Whiffer ..

They are, as well their replacement propellers. Got the B-47 set as well, and it might find its way into one or two conversions...  :wacko:
