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

One of the best things I've found recently. Could be this thing got into my sub conscience and influenced the direction I'm headed with my Gulf 66 racing glider.....  it even has "Gulf" in the name. I actually found this days ago...  I didn't make the connection until just now. I wish she had made a background story for it.

Replace the gold pin striping on the train with red and you have...

...BAT-TRAIN!

- 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.

That sounds killer.....   in all the comics and side stories did Bruce Wayne ever have a train??  If not, this is prime whif material!  What a fantastic idea....     I can picture the engine, some cars, and a neat bat-caboose.. etc.    Robin could have his own little "pump cart" or whatever them lil things are.  ;D ;D

The first thing the flying train reminded me of was Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang...

Oh, I love that!

That Gulfhawk V is indeed a beauty.  :thumbsup:

The real world Gulfhawk III was the two-seat G32
demonstrator, it combined features of the F3F-2 and
F3F-3, but What-If it had instead been an F4F Wildcat?
That would be rather attractive in the Gulf scheme.

The Gulfhawk VI would have to be an F11F, originally
in an orange scheme, repainted later in the '60s to the
blue and orange auto racing scheme.

Wasn't there an RW Gulfhawk IV with a Bearcat as its basis, or did I imagine it?

So...would Gulfhawk VII be a Tomcat? :wacko:

I think an Intruder would fit the scheme well, though admittedly a bit slower than progress would expect.

Or a Gulfstream II, whilst that was still a Grumman product...

Here's one from the Ace Combat universe.

By, Marcos Felipe .  Found on the "The Mediocre Modelers group" page.

"An helidron... 1/72, with recicled parts of a Sepecat Jaguar 1/100." 

I'm thinking he meant "helidrone."
