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! :)

...... for my tilt-fan FW 189 idea......

Say WHAT?  :o

now this would be fun to see built at 1/72 never mind 1/48 as there are kits for the 189 in both scales.... I digress.

added to my stash yesterday from a trip to Birmingham....

1/35 Meng Pick-Up truck with soviet style 20mm AA gun mounted on back.
1/35 Italeri Road Signs II
1/35 Italeri ruined Church Door
1/72 Special Hobby F4U Corsair with various racing a/c mods
1/35 Trumpeter CH-47D US Army aircrew [for conversion at some stage]

I also hunted down a bottle of Revell's indispensable 'painta-clean' brush cleaner, it took three shops before I found some.

Steel Penguin

from a wargames show in Halesowen this morning,
empire of the dead, time machine  and Dorian
and from crooked dice, another Dayna  so I can take off the neutron blaster and add a bow, 4 more packs of fed sec troopers,  ( you always need more faceless jackbooted troopers)  the 4 armed statue of the destroyer, and a x commando special weapon crew.
My wife also got my crimbo pressy, ( and I got part of hers)
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

I was planning it tonight.  Two 6.5m diameter fans will replace the wings outboard of the nacelles.

As we have seen on the "They want what for it?" thread these are far too valuable to build. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Junkers-Ju-88G-6-Berlin-Radar-Hasegawa-1-72-Spot-Plastic-model-Hasegawa-Spot-/261578244280?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Model_Kits&hash=item3ce74740b8
