Quote from: killnoizer on September 18, 2023, 03:06:06 AMI don't know what weapons I should use additional to that small machine guns ...

Looks a beauty.....forget the guns.....enter it for the Schneider Trophy

But guns are also very useful in a racing scenario ... ?
I will think about that

Crimson Skies style air racing

If you do add guns, they don't necessarily have to be in the nose.

No more guns , it will be as it is , maybe I give it a clear coat right now and start with aging and decals .

Racing seems very okay for this !
Thank you all very much for that suggestion , funny society here

Ditto!!

Looks fast - and a little menacing?

Hmmmm... what did UK, USA, France, Italy, and the Soviet Union enter in the Schneider Trophy race that year?

su27rules · September 21, 2023, 01:42:09 AM

Fantastic!!

Not finished, but worth a look

Have we ever done a "Make It Float" group build?

All part of a Moderators job

We had this GB a few years ago. Doesn't quite match your question, but the area hasn't been neglected.

Note I haven't checked if the images are still visible or not.

This might also fit together with the Speedbirds "modern Schneider racers" designs and books.

I just did, and they are still there, and look WONDERFUL too.

It seems Dizzy and Ericr were competing for building the MOST models in a GB.

There's some absolute gems there, and I was wondering why I didn't enter it, until I realised I was a mod for that GB and at that stage I didn't think I was allowed to enter.
