If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I finally got some paint on this build! This will be the medium color and the gunship grey next. I think I will try silly putty for masking as this thing has so many curves and angles.











I'll need to let it set for a few days as its still a little tacky.

Still a way to go but I've broken through the "paint block" so now there will be progress!

That's looking really good - I am personally just not sold on the gun's low position.

Possibly, but where else could it go?

- 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.

So ALL the weapons pylons are on TOP of the wing?  :o

I LOVE it!  :wub:

So VERY true.  :thumbsup:

It's probably got a plaque on it somewhere saying 'Made in Taganrog' or 'Сделано в Таганроге' would be more likely.  ;D

Inspiration is split between ericr and the Be-400.

Here's a pic of a BE-200 that has given me much inspiration also.



It almost looks like US Coast Guard markings but not quite.

Another possible source of inspiration?
