Finished another one. No back story yet.

Too bad the real one did not work out, the US Navy could have really used a replacement for the Intuder.

Nice job, thicker fuselage than I would have thought. Kit and scale please?

Nice.  Looks like a flying toasted sandwich...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

And me.

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

Very interesting to see it beyond the computer renderings of the 90s.  Quite different to what I expected, particularly the good forward from from the cockpit.

Good work!

I believe the Fleet Air Arm were cleared for export sometime in the mid-2000s...?

Very nice.  :wub:

I've got the 1/72 scale A-12 from Planet Models, but it'll be a long time before I build it. I have also heard that Modelcollect is planning to come out with a new 1/72 (or 1/48?) scale A-12 sometime in the future. I can hardly wait!
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

I've seen the only scale mockup at the Veterans Memorial Air Park in Fort Worth, Tx, it is noticeably thick, but very cool looking in person.

As for the toasted sandwich here in the colonies we called it a Dorito  ;)

Very nice Tom . . . you are on a nice roll here  ;).  Is this what they refer to as the "Cool Ranch" camo scheme?  :wacko:

Keep them coming for sure!  :thumbsup:

Best regards,

The Modelcollect one is supposed to be 1/48th scale :o
I'm quite eagerly awaiting that
