Many thanks Duncan, started out trying to make the Senryu from The Skycrawlers but because of dodgy measuring it went a bit wonky and I had to change it quite a bit.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Very creative.  Great idea.  What is at the front of the booms, some kind of gun?

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Very nice!


btw the German word for multirole is 'Mehrzweck'

I would say that describing this as 'Perfect' would be a gross understatement!
WOW!! :bow: :bow:

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

Cheers for all the great comments!
Ed, they are indeed guns, six barrelled Vulcan cannons from the Airfix 1/72nd Phantom kit (SUU-16 or SUU-23 gun pods I think). They are 20mm but seeing as I like the Me262's fire power I'm pretending they are 30mm! The boom section they fit into are F-4E Phantom nose parts (Airfix and Esci).
Thanks for the real German translation Hobbes, as you can probably tell I used Babelfish to try getting the right wording!
Really wish I'd noticed the dodgey paintwork on the canopy, flash photo show up too many mistakes, but I do have the excuse of a rushed repair and patch up!
