Adding detail from copper wire:



Making air-filters (this is a desert Falcon) from tea bag mesh (the pyramid type):

The flamboyant songwriter and entertainer, former husband of Liza Minelli?

Red spandex then...

[MichelC]

Oh my, oh my! Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm talking about the Peter Allen of AeroScale fame, code-named Flitzer. And that's the profiles I'm talking about:

Thank you . That's one very nice machine and will be on my New Year's build plans. I found the image by accident awhile ago and since then couldn't locate anything. lots of pictures to work with.

[MichelC]

Do you have the kit?

I see there's one in 1/72 (unobtainable) so it'll be a 'creation' from available 1/48 sources. The problem really lies in finding suitable wings with sweep-back. I can picture the parts required in my head but the wings are causing a headache. The joy of whiffing (and this being a paper-design) means I don't have to be 100% loyal to the designs but I'd like to get close.

Why not make the wings from plastic card?
