Nice paint job.  I'd put it up here but I can't link to it.  Go and have a look everyone.

That is pretty cool.   




Someone ought to paint one with this type of stuff. . . . .. . . .  :

That Russian Viggen is lovelly but SO wrong. It should look like this.





The story goes that when the film "Firefox" was being planned, the producer (Clint Eastwood) requested the Swedish government to release one of the prototye Viggens to play the part of the Firefox.
This was refused on the grounds that all the prototypes were heavily involved in testing. So they had to use models etc.
If they had not done that then we might have had a "Soviet" Viggen.

"Done"


(One extreme to another, a massive story for the last, a single word with without even any punctuation for the next, so don't shoot the messenger.. I know nothing about this other than it is "done."     )

Wonderful P-51 car/land-racer, thanks!

Dual rear tyres, eh?  Obviously a hill climb special then.

I think the wheels and tires are one of my favorite aspects of it.

"Another one of those long term projects is not so much a "What If" but to me more "Should have been!". Concorde CC mark 1 operated by 32 "The Royals" Squadron. I'm aiming this one as an early 80s scheme. Can't decide if should add a blue full length trim line. Also perhaps some contemporary ECM units.
I've several unstated kits in the stash so
In the near future I'll by starting a mark 3 version in a Light Camouflage (Barley) Gray with the same low viz markings that could be seen on Cosford's VC10 in a late 90s scheme.
Definitely RWR, Flare pods and other mods to this one

"Our latest commission build, the HK Models Dorner 335 Pfiel (Arrow). And yes, we know the fighter aircraft should not be in a night fighter paint scheme but what the client wants the client gets!"

Speaking of the 1/144 Trumpeter YF-23, has anyone built one yet? I've heard horror stories, want them verified or squashed, please.

Same person that posted the one above said in another post that it was a steamy pile.    I guess that's why they're so cheap. I bought one myself but haven't done anything with it yet.
