Awesome!  :thumbsup:

What scale is it, and where did you source the seat harness hardware from please?
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! :)

1. Scale is 1/12
2. The seat is from a Tamiya F1 kit. Don't remember the name.

Hope this helps.

Excellent - I love the scaleorama'd ejection* seats used as footrests!  :thumbsup:

*or are they helicopter armoured seats?

Not a vehicle I'd like to under-steer through a corner in/on/under! :o

Neat build! :thumbsup:

The engine parts are ringing bells but ain't nuthin' coming to mind. :unsure:

I won't pretend that I understand the genre fully, but I can recognise a superb model when I see one and all your recent three posts fit that category  :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I use whatever fits the bill, that I have on hand. ;)

The engine parts are parts from an astma holder to plumbing and parts from an old aircraft.
