A flying giraffe may be common but one with VG wings is incredible! ;D
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

I'm just wondering what will happen if in 10,000 years time if an archaeologist digs one of these surviving "relics" up ??  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

ericr


the same as what our time's archeologists think about stories about a feathered seprent in South America?
;D

There's no animal bits in there Ericr, are you sure you REALLY meant to build it that way? It's almost a 'conventional' Whiff!  :o
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! :)

It has an almost Italian feel to it.
I like it.  Good job.

- 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 was about to ask the same thing  ;D

It could be a missing contender to the request for proposals that led to the Whitley etc. Does look good  :thumbsup:

Looks very British, rather Hendon-ish.

yes, it is conscious !  ;D

Having watched a small swarm of these cavorting about my bedroom ceiling last night (I was sure I was still awake!), they certainly do not behave like conventional aeroplanes. The split tail planes are just that and in flight look more like a dragonfly's wings. They fold forward alongside the body/fuselage when resting, while the rear sections extend backwards to form the jaws of a gripper when performing certain biological functions necessary to breeding. The model in fact shows them disposed for that other bodily function relating to the digestion of food, although I doubt eric was aware of that at the time.
Note that as an aircraft, the position of the wings would obstruct any practicable bomb door. Inside we find only the belly of the beast. It was when one of them dived on me and opened its jaws, showing the glazed nose and chin sections to be exactly that, with a sharp row of sawblade teeth in between, that I realised this and awoke in terror.
Cheers.

That was my initial thought Jon, but then I looked at the turrets and thought it was almost a half way house between those and the Wellington generation of types ?
