Captain Canada · September 05, 2016, 10:24:06 AM

It sure would eh !

Too late for a side folding tail! That would make some jaws drop!

Captain Canada · September 05, 2016, 10:33:10 AM

Easy for me to suggest things but harder to actually build them!

I think doing the wing fold and making the canopy open like an F-4 would really add to the believability that she was a true Naval interceptor. But oh well, the colours and markings will have to tell that tale lol

I'm with you on that!

Captain Canada · September 05, 2016, 07:29:25 PM

An excuse to build a second one lol

Captain Canada · September 06, 2016, 01:00:09 PM

Thanks ! Getting there I say

Mossie · September 06, 2016, 03:03:26 PM

Oh, and very interested to see what you've got planned for Dusty, I've got Lil underway at the mo.

I was just going to paint a bit of gray on hi to make him look naval-y.

The Scorpion is almost done ! Got the gear mods done, then re-done, and the paint is all done and tanks done. Just need to glue them on, a few more decals, and then I should be snapping a few pics.
