That's going to need one WIDE carrier to land on!  :o
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! :)

Not only did he draw a wide-enough carrier, he also made it submersible!  :party:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I still have thoughts of trying to build that submersible aircraft carrier in 1/350 :o, then I beat some sense into me & I feel better! ;D

By Alan Day found on the "Facebook Scale Modellers" page.

"First model for 30 years finally complete. First time use of airbrush. It certainly was frustrating and fun at the same time. Steep learning curve for me and plenty to take forward to my next build. I didn't follow any painting guide or pattern, I used my own inspiration, basically because I wasn't confident enough to try the 3 colour faded edge designs. I am chuffed how it has turned out. Many thanks to all in the group for your advise, ideas and support. 👍😊"









He didn't paint some of or all of the PE. Could have been an artistic decision or not.  :thumbsup:

This is neat. Ol' boy asked about Tiger Meet stuff then posted what I'm about 99% sure is a what-if. Turns out the comments section provided a couple more so I'll do my best to credit them as I go.

This is his. It was a missed opportunity to call it the "SpitTiger" but it's cool anyway.  ;D :mellow:


A couple from the comments. Coincidence strikes again.. I just finished my XL and wouldn't you know:

By Michael Riley :



By Neil Medcalf   "Avro Arrow in WIF Tiger Meet. I did this some years ago now.":



By Stephen Freeman    (after asked by someone)"I was bored 🤣 it was an academy p40 so thought why not, did it about 10 years ago and just put it in my shop window":

An He219 would be the ideal basis for this sort of Luft46 A-10-style whiffery.  Personal view, not a criticism of the build.

As a side note: in order to achieve the A-10's thrust with Jumo 004s, you'd need 9 to 10 engines...  :rolleyes:

Also like the XL, looks great with the stripes. And that sure looks like a house cat on tail, well spotted. :thumbsup:

Look at it in some ways and yes it's a cat, look at it in other ways and it's the head of a bug eyed fish. One of those weird morphing images  ;)
