Basically, if you could choose any one of your whiffs to own in real life, in full working condition in 1:1 scale that you could personally use, what would you go for?? ;D

Tough choice between a handful...
As it would be purely for pleasure flights, I'd probably pick the one with no engine: DFS Stummel-Habicht replica.

No contest, the PR19.  ;D :lol:

But then I guess that'd be predictable, wouldn't it?  ;)

And I'd be taking pics of all you lot from 70000 ft or so.  ;D
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

Well I built this because it's my idea what an ultimate "piston-engined" aircraft would be (there would be two inverted modern V-12's in the rear fuselage, one driving the front props by drive shaft, and the rear one driving the pusher prop). Then thinking it would be so much fun, I would have to take a second person along with me so it would be a tandem twin-seater.

If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

It has to be the Constitution class Marine assault ship USS Defiance - not much beats a whole starship!!

Some interesting stuff  there,  I'd choose my fairey rotodyne as I think it'd be great for going on holidays and pleasure fights etc

Fit out a cargo unit as a caravan, stock the caboose unit with spares & extra supplies, & a couple of motorbikes or a quad for fun, it's the ultimate go-anywhere adventure camper!

I'll see your HMBLT and USS Defiance, and raise you an Invincible-class Star Frigate

Well the "practical" choice for me would be the Trackrover, plus if me having one implies that it's actually in production, then that makes me very happy.

JUST what you need for trundling down the M6 in the winter, as they won't have gritted the thing, will they?  ;D
