Looking forward to your build. Will an interesting combination.
But, beg your pardon, in the Shark boxart the pilot seems to be standing OUT of the cockpit.  :o Maybe trying to kick away a reluctant torpedo?
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Ah no, he's climbing back in after kicking it clear.  ;D

I got one of those AMT packaged Sharks some years back at a State Fair in Minneapolis, cost me all of $1.  :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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Supermodel.
:thumbsup:
Best logo of all the kit manufacturers.
Does this one come with one of their stands with that logo moulded into it?

I had to look a couple of times, but finally I see what you mean  :unsure:

It does indeed (and I shan't be using it).

I've been lazy in not posting the construction. I did some yesterday and today but then couldn't find the earlier ones I'd taken, so my apologies.

These are the photo's after I'd applied the 'camouflage' with a cocktail stick.

The camo looks like it would totally blend in to the sea. Brilliant! :thumbsup:

Great idea.   :thumbsup:

But, again, might I mention that the floats should be placed further forwards, closer to the CoG in the region of the engine?
