That's an interesting concept, but why is it floating in a pond ? And, no I haven't looked at the link
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Update on Stefano Marchetti's air racer project, no doubt it'll be another SMW winner,
like his steampunk monowheel and floating Ferrari racer:

Much though I admire his magnificent work, I hope not.

Having the same builder win the same class or championship time after time isn't good for the hobby. It certainly doesn't encourager les autres, it tends to put challengers off to my mind, and generates thoughts of 'The halo factor'.
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! :)

Your guess is as good as mine, if not better. While I do love birds and enjoy to watch them from time to time casually, I don't know much about them. But, yeah, now that you mention it with the beak it looks like one. Pretty good choice considering the aircraft.

Larry Schmidt is a prolific and very creative builder who's posted no few of his works in the "Vacuform/Resin Kit Builders" group on Facebook.

His latest should strike a chord with at least some of the lads here on this forum...

There's still a lot of room for improvements: the tank could be white and bear Imperial insignia...  ;)

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
