You're right! or.. We're right. He just got back; 1/72 MPC Brewster Buffalo canopy. Airfix wins the day once again.

Thanks! This will help me to draw it (with a twin derivative as double fuselage restoring the Lightning layout somehow...).

It looks good, and certainly solves the dilemma of where to stow the landing gear!

My thought exactly.  The builder has solved the problem I was having with how to fit three things (a pilot, turbo and undercarriage) into the same space by eliminating one of the three.
Pilot's backside might get a bit warm though now given where the turbo is.
It looks magnificent.

As for the 737.  I know actors can be annoying but isn't bombing theatres taking things a bit too far?

"Newest product from...."THE ARSENAL OF DEMOCRACY!!! Fresh in from patrol, a (1/72 scale) United States Navy Lockheed F-5-0-2Z Hornet. Based on the USN Island Class Zeppelin ZRS-12 U.S.S Nantucket Island, She is shown as she appeared during her service at the Battle of the Coral Sea, in May of 1942. (Built using parts from the bits box, and a goodly portion of a 1968 vintage FROG Lockheed P-38 Lightning)"

Woah there! 

I invented the Island Class airships back in 2012 to act as home 'bases' for the Convair F4Y-2 Petrel airborne interceptors, and backdated their history in the backstory here :- https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=34363.msg544086#msg544086

The Petrel build, as far as it got, is here too :- https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=34362.msg544085#msg544085

Actually checking on that Petrel thread it didn't even show the build. I started cutting plastic on it, but never posted any pics, so I should get around to that. AND finish the model too!

The guy who built that P-38 must be on here as this is the only place that the Island Class backstory ever appeared.

That is gorgeous!

Pretty. But what is it supposed to be?

A cheap, low-intensity conflict medium/heavy bomber

Probably derived from the 737-800 Max as Boeing can't even GIVE them away at the moment.

Fascinating!!  Probably one of the lurkers over the years. Here's his FB profile, perhaps that'll jog something. https://www.facebook.com/HtheTurk?fref=gs&__tn__=%2CdC-R-R&eid=ARByu_KwsZMA59RwVylICV1sI9rwMFcr6bHfiWB58l_qAMx2dWjxTOpQ5u8HRQG1okNF_Hj67SKn5oRT&hc_ref=ARQSblczgHi0xAb8LpG_WJLsHDJwuxxPWJa5B2tQW2HgUnA752yHsuNn-TnzAyb07QQ&dti=1771720973126058&hc_location=group

Background is on the previous page. I just shortened Brad's post because I didn't want to quote the whole post.

Actually, Kit, with the plethora of 737-400 kits in 1/144 it wouldn't surprise me if that was the base

Tell me about it, I've got half a dozen of the multi-length 737s that DACO put out a few years ago. With that lot I could make a 737-100000000.
