"Just finished this up last week. (Despite the dates on the photos.) I felt I owed a friend a "Thank You". He is a fan of both Star Wars and NASCAR. I found out from his wife that his favourite driver is Jeff Gordon. So I did a mashup of the two. He said it is going in his display case right in with his die-cast NASCAR collection."

Racing A-Wing... but, of course!  Why didn't anyone think of this earlier? It's so obvious... now!

Another find/build that confirms my impression that we need a Racing GB at some time soon?

Great and colorful build, never expected Jeff Gordon to be in league with The Force, but that might explain his NASCAR titles?

Hey, a racing themed GB sounds pretty cool indeed!! I've collected up quite a bit of racin' transfers and have been wanting to use 'em on something.

What if someone used an SR-71 as an Alclad testbed?"

Found this on the E.A.M. Everything About Modeling And Other Hobbies page.

No known source or owner but it's definitely a whif model..   



Neato burrito, man!! If I can ascertain more about it I'll try to remember to post.

It's heavily based on the Soviet/Russian MAKS concept: https://www.google.com/search?q=maks+orbiter&lr=&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEodzD99fXAhVHz1QKHSHLB_MQ_AUICygC&biw=1920&bih=968

With a Tu-16 as a carrier, I'd rather place it in China?
