Here's what happened when I found myself with a few left over bits from various Lightning kits.


And here's the reason why the bits were left over.

and I was missing a set of wings

Your Navy bird puts my one to shame. And didnt the FSW one wind up on the what if? stand at the 2003 nationals?
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Wow....that's just brilliant, Tim !

Love the FSW....just looks right ! Would have been one heck of a preformer, if you ask me !

The swinger is pretty cool as well, but it sure looks stubby when the wings are out !

Very cool.  Switching the wings makes for a whole different critter, don't it?   :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

Great inventions :wub:
Just a question: is the tail-less FSW still a twin-engine? The low pipe seems smaller, not standard, and we would be glad to appreciate special details if there are explanations for everything :)

I remember the FSW bird at the 03 Nats, no-one knew where it came from but we all agreed it was  :wub:   :wub:   :wub:

Tom

The VG one has two sets of wings, one fwd and one swept, the fwd set having the flaps and slats down. A novel way to represent a VG aircraft without all the hassle of VG mechanics.

Both nice models displayed across from us a Telford on the EE Sig that also had the Austrian and USAF examples.

Cheers
