That Italeri box art certainly stands out  :thumbsup: although I can't help thinking the two of them are on a bit of a collision course ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The XB Falcon Sedan* arrived today, with the bottle of Vallejo wash that was keeping it company.

*Yeah, I know I ordered the Panel Van, but I swapped it, as the MFP didn't use the van... at least not in the movie.
So at some stage it will be getting a new paint job of Yellow over Blue, with some added accessories.
A companion piece for the Scalextric Pursuit Special I got a few years back.  ;)

Alistair's latest masterpiece arrived this morning, the English Electric P1A. It looks to be a fantastic kit and as I have spare decals from the Whirlybird kit, it may end up as a real one.

I'm excited about this one from Metro Hobbies.  Even if it's the wrong scale...

...but then maybe a 1/72 one would a little on the large size.
I can see this in PDRV colours.  Or maybe as a pirate vessel...

- 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.

The closest one saw that and that's why he's banking right. ;)

Although that's not my type of thing, i think it's probably a very interesting build. :thumbsup:

Got another one yesterday from Facebook marketplace. A portuguese modeller was asking for 20€ with shipping included and knowing it's the old monogram kit, i think it was worth it, even if it ends up as a parts donor.

Very good idea! Sure looks like the shape is already there, just needs teeth.  :thumbsup:

I'd give it a few more engines, it looks a tad underpowered.

Oh, and longer wings of course.  ;D
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! :)

I was sure I had the movies, but can't seem to locate them... may have to address that - purely for reference material purposes, of course!
