OK, so how is the bike bit suspended in mid air for the pics?
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! :)

Regards

In real life, the Bike is suspended on a single clear pin (made from sprie material), in the model's center of gravity. The kit actually comes with such an arrangement and it has adapter opening at the side and underneath, concealable with plugs. For the diorama I had to scratch a longer pin, though, and on the pics it has been edited away. Here's what it actually looks like - it's still pretty inconspicious, since the foot rests conceal it well:

- 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.

It flies alongside using it's own repulsor lift, propulsion and nevigation technologies, yet somehow still needs a human to point it at a target by eye... ;)


It needs 'Positive Visual Confirmation' before it will fire.  ;D
That makes perfect sense.

Never, ever believed in that. Magic on the other hand ?  ;)
