Yes, it's very slow.  If I scroll down to the very bottom, it'll update about twelve boxes at a time, once every several minutes.  It seems to work better on my home computer than my work one.

The trouble with that is I feel that several suggestions will get 'lost' as they become more difficult to access with newer ones being submitted.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Someone's put up the Flying Wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark, gave that a click! :thumbsup:

The site is much more responsive today, looks like they've solved their performance problems.

The 3700 votes for the 1/48th Iskra have vanished too....

Nice one, they should have done that ages ago, I'm sure it would sell.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Except they will have to licence it and Gordon Bennet alone knows what that will cost
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Fine Molds is a small company, yet they've been able to license Star Wars, and Revell Germany
also has a Star Wars license. So it is possible.

I don't have hard info but what I've heard in the past is that the fee charged to Fine Molds
is quite low because Lucas was impressed with the quality of Fine Molds products.

Yes, the site is now super-responsive.  About time.  I note though, we still have someone from Poland playing funny-buggers, check out the votes for the PZL I-22 Iryda - 721!!  :blink:

I forgot about Fine Moulds Star Wars stuff. Thanks for the reminder. From what I've heard about Lucas what you've heard could well be true, and good on him if it is  :thumbsup:

Revell, AFAIK, already *has* licenses from Lucas, for their SW stuff.  So it shouldn't be too much of an issue to add the Raider's flying wing

You can already get this in 1/72nd from Starship Modeler.  Is resin and expensive so an injected kit in this scale would be perfect.  I added a vote as well.

Just put up an idea for a 1/144th Skylon spaceplane. Would go well with the White Knight/Spaceship Two they've just brought out.

The poll isn't up yet 'cos it has to be approved.
