Something similar could be cooked up with an 1:200 Concorde and an 1:72 B-58...?

I think that canopy would be at home on a Viggen.  It looks like a fairly generic tube fuselage and tail surfaces ... plastic card and a bit of file-work for the wings - OK, not quite that easy, but do-able, I think.  :)

Re-winging a Yak 28 might be a good starting point.

- 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.

Still working through my backlog. This is clear back to Feb. 23.  I'm trying to get caught up!  :angel: :lol:

Doesn't actually say anywhere.... but uhh..... well, something leads me to believe it's a whif.

Bonus!  In the comments, someone asked, " Love the painting! Do you have pictures of the paint job? Like masking and stuff?"  To which he replied,

"Sorry, no... but if it helps below are shapes I cut from 20mm Tamiya tape to achieve the effect. Top is for black shapes, bottom is for two blue paint layers (camo layers)...
1. Black primer (mask with triangles, top masking shapes)
2. Dark camo, 2nd layer of paint (mask with bottom masking shapes, pick left or right side of previously masked area and concentrate that layer on that side more)
3. Light camo, 3rd layer of paint, mask from both side of previously masked area, this layer will give final shape to complete area so go wild and rely on imagination...
4. Last "base color" of vehicle, grey in this case...

This is one that is a bit subtle, I suppose. 777's never have 4 engines.

And some of them have even longer fuselages.  ;D

His engines are smaller too, from an A330 maybe?
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! :)

They keep stretching that sucker out man.... passenger capability rivals the 747 at this point. What is the newest one now??? I can't remember what they're calling it..... 900 MegaMaxUltraTube or whatever the heck it is... lol .     I have a kit of the 300ER then they went and made this new longer one....   :banghead: ;D



Oh wow, I went and had a look at the ACAM message boards (public, viewable) and this thing is a hell of a lot more involved than meets the eye.... started 6 years ago in 2014!  In fact, it started as an already built WHIF 777-200!!     All sorts of cutting and stuff going on. All sorts of details, here:

Not as long as my 777-900.  ;D
