I don't post here very often as my what if output isn't very high but I thought I'd show my latest flight of fancy.

For the past couple of years I'd been thinking of building a Tiger tank with tiger stripe markings so, with an Airfix Tiger I sitting in the stash I made a start on it a couple of weeks ago. As it was getting stripes I decided to add eyes and a mouth from an old Airfix P-40 too. < The stripes turned out better than I expected and the mouth fitted OK after a bit of trimming to size.

- 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.

Most impressive!!  I'm waiting to see how far you can take this.......a Churchill with a huge cigar replacing the gun, a centurion with Roman army lorica segmentata armour instead of side plates..........what a wonderfully Whiffable concept you have launched.

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! :)

Wouldn't that then make the Centurion a Tortoise?  :wacko:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Neat work. It does looked slightly surprised by something though, wonder what ?  ;)

There is a kit of a Korean War Sherman with a shark's mouth, so not far fetched at all.

Don't forget the vine staff  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
