LOL! ^ 

;D ;D  That was rather a bummer I Imagine for that person's model but I can't help but laugh at the pictures in my mind of a convulsing plane as one blade whips around....      :o

Used on stow-able engine motor gliders and there is the Everel as flown on this J-2.

Holy crap! That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The write up and links in your link were nice, too. I had no idea.

From the page of one Rob Evans, an album entitled 'Ellesmere model show'. From what I can gather off the web, it's an annual show put on by the Ellesmere Model Railway Club, in Ellesmere, North Shropshire. Don't know who the modeler is.

Michael Wiley has posted this picture on the Star Trek Modelers Group, with the cryptic comment "What am I up to now?"

RAM 32-002 Supermarine Spitfire MK.IX MH434 In Civil Service by Andrew Root, found on RAM Models page.

She's a stunner.

That's MH434 in one of her umpteen paint schemes over the years, and it's real, not a Whiff.

See here for many of her other schemes. http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?20097-MH434-And-Her-Many-Guises/page2
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! :)

If these ain't whifs, I'll be a monkeys uncle.

Found on Plastimodelismo - Scale Modeling page. I looked for source but didn't see anything posted...   At least there's a "signature" on the pics.   :lol:

I believe that one is a hover car!
