I wonder if a semi recessed  blue steel  missile would work with one of these,  it would have to be  launched  in the atmosphere though I dare say.

Given the launching system, I think the missile would need to be recessed on the top of the Sanger

I see yes, or if big enough  put it inside  maybe?

That ekranoplan car thing is rather neat.

Is the Sanger the one which would have launched like Fireball XL5? [Showing my age there ]

Showing my age, too, in that I know exactly what you are referring to.  You can step back further, though, to the launch ramp in When Worlds Collide.

Thank goodness the L-15 is in the wrong scale for me. I'd have been sorely tempted otherwise. 

[Mossie]

It's a wonderfully quirky little thing.  Slightly awkward looking, almost insectile.

Exactly. 

Many, many years ago I built a free flight model of the L-15, powered by a Mills 0.75, that stalwart of British model flying diesels of the period.

I sent a Facebook private message to MikroMir about the 1/32 Hughes TH-55 kit:

I'm excited it's finally out, but I'm waiting for the 1/48 version   

[PR19_Kit]

1/32 scale?  Could I get inside one that big?

I've got a Pavla 1/72 kit of an OH-55, and it's so small the whole kit sits in the palm of my hand!

Not to ruin the friendship we've both carefully culivated over many years, but I hate you.

[PR19_Kit]

SO sorry Zac, those Pavla tiny choppers are delightful, but SO small and fiddly.

You should see the Robinson R-22 kit, the cabin is about the size of my thumb!

I've never had much success with Pavla, we just don't seem to "get on"

I'd love one! And the SH Hiller Raven...
