In 2013, I built a canard XA-10X Hog2:

but it is all broken and I am going to build something different, the technical reason being: fun.

Poor broken model... :-\
I hear it crying: "I wanna be asymmetric, uuh...". All right boy, you will:

Drying, close to completion:

Uh, I should have said: I hear himher crying. All right boygirl
as airplane is feminine in English like boat, while in French they are masculine (avion & bateau)... :unsure: :-\ ;D

The model is finished now:


This weird asymmetric layout is justified by... top secret reasons, sorry. I am not allowed to tell that more precisely.

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! :)

Interesting design Tophe.
The camo scheme is great.  Those two colours got together very well IMO.

- 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.

Thanks!

Uh, I am not at all the author of this camo, this is why there are roundels and military shark mouth, incredible for a pacifist like me: this was an "EasyKit" with parts already painted, and I built it very fast without painting it again:

But just as hippies often wear cast off military clothing it is quite possible that a pacifist aircraft could be made from a military one and remain camouflaged.
