I'll be building one of these, suitably modified for United Earth Navy use.

Oh my, life, I've NEVER seen that kit for real ever!  :o

They must a fortune to get hold of these days, can't wait to see what you do to it Fred.  :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

Very curious to see what yiou have in mind!  :o
Kit: it's a reissue, so would cost only half a fortune. ;D
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Looking at the car, I also get non-naval ideas for a conversion...  :rolleyes:

I don't even have a tenth of a fortune so that counts me out, sad to say.  :banghead:

Yes, recent re-pop.
I'll not be building it with the operating folding top (very tricky to get to work by all accounts) or the wheels or the engine or the chassis.
Think The Jetsons meets Gundam (but not the giant robots).
As a bonus it comes with two figures (driver and his main squeeze) which with a bit of slight modifying I am hoping will become uniformed United Earth Navy crewmen.

Dug the many parts out of the box today.  Being a kit designed back in the dim mists of antiquity it has a multipart body.  This is normally a PiTA but not in this case as it made it easy to trace the shapes needed to fill the front wheel arches onto styrene sheet.
One of the reasons I chose to use this kit is because it has large round tail lights.

Hmmm, for the exhausts perhaps?

I didn't realise they'd re-popped that kit, how long ago did you get it please?

Couple of years maybe.  The 14 year old in me is attracted to working features like the folding roof but then the jaded older part of my brain takes over and I never get round to building them.

I finally got to Bunnings today and came home with a shovel, some picture hangers (both not relevant to this build) a 4m length of 20mm electrical conduit and assorted elbows, tees, connectors etc.

You're building your own scale model closed circuit wind tunnel?  :unsure:
