Naaaah, that's not a Whiff, I'm sure I've seen one of those over Salisbury Plane, but it was in green of course.  ;D
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! :)

Love the twin-rotor Skyvan. :thumbsup:

I nearly finished something similar a few years ago, but I dropped it and spoilt the paint just before the end of the GB... :banghead:

Mine had Kaman-style eggbeater blades taken from two Hueys.

a plausible whiff is sometimes the best whiff  ;D

I'm seeing that in B.E.A. colours flying to either the Channel Islands or the Scilly's

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

thanks !

as I sometimes say, I like keeping with monochromes, but if others with more elaborate skills than mine feel inspired to make for fuller liveries on my contraptions, please do  ;)

Tophe

As far as I am concerned, I prefer your monochrome-way, Ericr: this means "it is a funny dream", without pretending "this is a true secret machine" (which may be classified as fake, wrong, bad, by realists).

a parrot & a stealth fighter, both ways reciprocally :

The red combo looks like some nasty tropical insect that could give you quite a bite. I guess it's a lot less red before it has had its first meal.  :o

By the way, love the Skyvan-copter too. Bright yellow would be a dead ringer for Aurigny Airlines' service to the Channel Isles.  :thumbsup:
Cheers.

Your F-117 gives me an idea for the Batplane made by Polar Lights.

great ! please do it ! I am glad to find inspirations in this forum, and even happier if others get inspired by my whiffing  ;)

from the old scrap box, a Vigilante front fuselage and a shell :





(it had no cockpit, so I had to find something of the right size : a reversed P-51D I think)

Tophe

Ho, I was not warned by the Notify tool of this new marvel, congratulations! :wub: :wub:
(maybe this was because the snail was inside the shell, hidden) ;)
