Wow!  I was trying to figure out why a company would be crazy enough to make 102s in that scale.  I would never have guessed they were scratchbuilt.  Very impressive, and super cool diorama  :bow:

3D printing is the way to go for things that small such as the aircraft found here.

SUPER idea, love the ice plates leaning against the hull of the sub.  :thumbsup: :bow:
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

When these are done you should photograph them lined up along the top of your B36 Cropsprayer.


As per your suggestion  :thumbsup:  (spray bars removed for new project)



And thanks for the title suggesting sideshow- now Ice Station Delta!

Thanks for noticing the broken ice Kit!

Thanks guys.

Heh heh heh.   :thumbsup:

One more suggestion.  A bulldozer for runway prep.  Or maybe a zamboni?   ;D

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

Look closely- there are two dozers for grooming the runway!  One on each end of the line up of the four F-102's .  1/700 scale Tiger tank with turret removed, with a scratch dozer blade, and a small platform at the rear end for the operator, to make a mini dozer. I did think about a Zamboni!   ;)
