Found these at the recent Shizuoka Model Show.

Tophe will probably like this one:

Tophe will probably like this one:




LIKE? He'll be ecstatic! Twin booms, pusher engine AND asymmetry, all in one model.  ;D ;)

The only things he won't go for are the socking great guns sticking out of the front.
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! :)

Why asymmetry? The 2 wings look identical to me.
BTW, where is a rear wheel/landing gear? I see 3 aligned wheels and nothing under the tails. If there is one under the central rear engine, it has a remarkably short wheelbase.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Isn't the port wing longer than the starboard?

If it isn't, it should be.  ;D ;)

Thank you for the link Dizzy  :thumbsup:
some of the stuff in the photos was wonderful, the RW and the Whiff and the odd!
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Yeah - the third wheel is a tricker. Certainly a short wheel base. Wings look the same size to me. Besides all that, it is a cracking model. Love the camp colours.

I confirm completely! :wub: :wub: :wub: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :bow:
Just: I accept the long tubes plainly if they are not guns but perfume sprayers... (what-if!)

I did visit today a small but nice model show in Mundolsheim, near Strasbourg.
I spotted a few interesting whifs:

The original phone photos  were about 3 MB each. Reduction via Irfanview resulted in a drastic compression, sorry.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Cool stuff! I've always wanted to build one of those aircraft/automobile mash ups!

Terrific photos, thank you  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I was at the Rushden Railway Museum Model show today, as a punter, not an exhibitor (but that may change next year....) and while it was mostly model railway layouts there was one rather good plastic model stand put on by the Models for Heroes guys. While most of them were RW there were two rather good whiffs with a Star Wars theme running through them.



The pink Gripen is actually a RW model, the Whiff is the BoB/Star Wars diorama in the front.




I've no idea what the 'chassis' is, but the cab's a VW Bus.  ;D
