He's got some SERIOUS PSR tools there!  :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! :)

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

He used LDF which does not use the same bonding agent with carcinogenic properties, however with just the amount of dust a mask would be advisable anyway.

Plus debonder, primer, spray paints with no mask or spray booth, leaving tools running with no safety guards etc.

Anyway how come he didn't create a bleedin trigger for the gun !!!!!
