Dork the kit slayer

Coming back through Gatwick this week,Mrs DtKS and I stayed at the North terminal Prem Inn and came across a couple of wifs in the reception.

Thought Id share the Luuuv

A change from the usual travel agent type models.

Nose of the phantom looks odd! Or, is it just the paint throwing me?

They've got the nose cone on upside down!
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! :)

And the stores are all wrong: Centerline tank too skinny and too close to the fuselage.  Dodgy sidewinder? not mounted on a rail, mid wing store mounted in wrong location....

Outer up turned wings look too big- or perhaps just the camera angle. 

Maybe it is a foam R/C model?   

Rivet counter mode off... ;)

I reckon it's an R/C model from the size of it.

This is what it looks like with the radome the other way up.

I wonder if "What If" has a different definition with different people.  I really didnt think that the stores had to be accurate especially seeing that the colour scheme screams not a accurate scale model. :mellow: :mellow: oh well different strokes and all that.

I think the term does mean different things to different people and that's not counting those who get apoplexy just hearing the phrase  :rolleyes: All in all we are a very broad church and I for one am all the happier for it  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
