Another one that ran into paint problems and deserves to be finished

Current pic to follow.

Latest pic. Its been in this shape for a long time. Hopefully all the paint has cured as much as it ever will and behave when I do paint it properly. I was using enamels so I'll try acrylics and see if it works better.

ohh! shiney   :thumbsup:
looking forward to this.
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. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Yes, it sure does.  :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! :)

Oh I cannot wait to see this finished  :thumbsup:  ;D
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 .

Not a big rush. I've got a year so I'll have to budget my time among the other stalled builds.

- 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.

Nice. :thumbsup:   HP flirted with flying wing designs so it's got a healthy pinch of reality.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

True. It just needs paint decals and wheels. Or a stand and a rod.
