Sock Scheme? "What's that young Kiwi up to now?" I hear you ask.

Well, one day last year my wife Sam was out shopping and happened upon a pair of socks with planes on that she thought I'd quite like:

My first thought was "That looks like a Wildcat!" Second thought was "I wonder how it would look on a model..."

Sam got me the 1/72 Airfix F4F-4 Wildcat model for Christmas here's the result. She loves it!

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 .

That's just begging for a few numbers on the fuselage and racing sponsor logos.  :thumbsup:

Hehehehehe, LOVE it Zac.  :thumbsup:

Sounds like we should start an 'Aviation Socks' thread, I've got some with Concordes all over them!  ;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! :)

This is  perfect camo to fly invisibly over the socks factory! (in protection, not to attack...). ;)
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

- 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.

Sounds like a group build theme!

Whatever.

 :thumbsup:  nice one,  truly bring a smile to the face.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
