Ah right, the AEW C-97 is the one that Colin Freightdog did in 1/144, isn't it?
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

I'd be interested in the larger of the two space gliders if that was possible as I am Downunder (and I can sneak it past SWBO)...

Be very carefull if there are any small kids at the Scottish Nationals, they'll think those are sweeties and I'm only half joking  ;)

They do look good though Joe  :thumbsup:

Excellent stuff Joe!  Definitely interested in all of them, but like others I won't be at the Scottish Nationals I'm afraid and would like to get hold of them.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That looks really good, you can see how the design line follows that of the Meteor PR19 quite clearly.   ;D ;D ;)

Yes, all they did was take the engines off, turn the wings through 90 deg, move the cockpit inside and make all the rounded surfaces flat. Other than that, it's practically a rip-off...

Wait, you mean there was a TV series about an aircraft company back in the 60's, and the Predator was a prop?! I looked up the images of the Predator on Google and I was convinced that was a real plane! Why do I not know about this show?!

Because it was a 60s British TV show in Black & White, it will be rather dated by now so not the sort to be repeated or have a large fan base.

And here's the 2nd pyramid to escape Joe's cluches...................................

You may notice it differs from the first example by Sid due to the small winglets. This is the later version put forward and the bits are supplied with the kit to both versions.

Plus the OR9001 "space fighter"


group shot with my old Anigrand X-20 for comparison.

so far iv batches of 20 each of the Pyramid, OR.9001 'space fighter', il bring some along to the Perth show (as well as the C.97 AEW. and P.1128)

iv made the moulds for Scott Furlong Predator, test casting shows il have to redo the fuselage moulding (excess air pockets) I will hopefully have a production batch ready in a month or so. Other masters being cast up are a FICTIONAL 1950's anti gravity 'spindle' vehicle and FICTIONAL 'what-if' Proteus Bluebird as a hydroplane, as well as a little jet trainer model iv been tinkering with :)

... the big fin in the image is that from the 72 scale MUSTARD (vacuform and resin)



cheers, Joe
