EricR has inspired me to molest this kit.
I have an image in my head.  Time will see if I can translate that into plastic.

Fantastic box design from Hasegawa.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

If i get the cuts wrong it's going to be f**ked... :o

So far i've glued the wings together and glued 2/3 of the main UC doors in place.  I've also glued the seat and joystick to the cockpit tray and the IP inside a fuselage half.

Here you go.

Imagine this...



...without the lower wings.

And probably not all over yellow.

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 American, no.  But like a developed P.11, on spatted skis.

Painted the interior today.  A lovely shade of pink.  The users of this aircraft believing their pilots flew better if they felt they were back in the womb...

Hopefully the pink was painted on nice, thick armour plating. ;D

Fuselage halves glued today.

i was pondering the skis.  Traditionally there are two main wheel skis and a third one on the tailwheel.
Why not a single big central ski (or snowboard) and two little stabilising ones further out?
