Bucc-lightning-wing Mk1 ....Two 1/72 Frog kits.... continuing my random lightning wings on everything series/obsession  (or how to ruin two perfectly good/average kits).  ;D ;D ;D .....

Not sure on a paint scheme yet .... obviously I need to build it properly first  ;D

That looks surprisingly plausible actually.  :o

How about the other way round as well?  ;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! :)

Nice idea  :thumbsup: , although I've already used up the Bucc wings on the SR.A-1  ;D

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