[NARSES2]

This is where to post your finished builds

Why am I always the first one to post something in this kind of section...? Well, nevertheless, here's my interpretation of the GB theme - I present to you the Rostov Tilt Rotor Aircraft Company РТАК-30 (NATO ASCC code "Hemlock"); 3rd prototype "33 Yellow" during state acceptance trials; Zhukovsky (Moscow Oblast), 1987 in 1:72.

You're the fastest builder Thomas, simples.

"AH-1 Super Cobra MACRO MACHINE" - U.S. Marines

This is a simple scheme swap. I built the Italeri kit OOB and just painted it differently. What makes this one kind of neat,however, is that I "flipped the script." Instead of modelling something larger, I modelled something smaller. In this case, it's an old Micro-Machines toy helicopter. It was one of my favorites as a child because I thought the paint was neat.

Vectored Thrust C-130, by Sandiego89

United States Marine Corps VC-130H at Cherry Point, North Carolina 1978

"Sweet 6" pictured at her home base of Cherry Point.  The VC-130's had been primary used to support AV-8A operations at austere bases, much like her RAF counterparts supporting Gr1 and Gr3 operations in Germany. "Sweet 6" was to later gain her place in history during operation Eagle Claw to rescue the American Hostages from the embassy compound in Teheran, Iran. 

The kit: 1/72 Airfix.  Self casted resin Pegasus engines (x4).

I hope this qualifies:

A-90-300 Etihad Airways



When Etihad commenced operations in 2003 it searched for aircraft for both the longer as the shorter routes. For destinations in the Gulf the choice was made for the Alexeyev A-90-300.
This was a modernized development of the A-90 which first flew in 1975. This Russian Ekranoplane or ground effect aircraft had a range of 2000km with a cruising speed of 400km/h. Etihad followed the example of Emirates which had been using the larger Alexeyev KM since 1995.
The A-90-300 was used for routed from Abu Dhabi to the Gulf states but also to cities like Karachi.
The A-90-300 could carry 216 passengers.

I'm sure you've all lost sight of this full length GB while the One Week GB is going on, but at LAST we have a poll setup for the Unconventional Means Flying Machine GB. 

You've 14 days to vote and only one vote each this time as there's only nine entrants.

Results will only be visible AFTER you've voted and you can't change your vote, so off you go.
