OUTSTANDING!

That's something else Fred, both the build and the backstory.  :thumbsup:

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 should probably get more references but Brock &, especially, Killminster grabbed my funny-bone too early.

Great job, Fred! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks folks.

Names all have a musical link.

Engineering moving wings wasn't too difficult.  Stopping them flopping was trickier.

- 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 model below is a fake, not even science-fiction... :unsure: ;)
It is well known that for birds (with flapping wings), Siamese sisters are not viable... :-\

Stunning  :wub:

I wonder if the choice of Brock Industries was a polarising one?  ;)
Whatever.

Preventing them being played with was just as difficult I imagine ? ;) I take it that led to the "manoeuvring limits" being introduced ? ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'm impressed you made the wings move.  I decided not to even try, with my X-wing build.  I salved my conscience by telling it that this way I could have stores on all four wings.  :)  Not saying I now feel "shamed," just that I might have made more of an effort.  Oh, well.  C'est mon vie.

Love this - presumably the airframe that most of the flight team got to ride was enigmatically named 'Stacia' was it? :wacko:

By the way Fred, did you see that Nik Turner died in November? :-\
