Ooooh!  For some reason the Valkyrie looks right at home in anti-flash white.  More, more!

What is THIS? A simple He 111Z or another twin, truly What-if...?

Plus you forgot to mention the needle Pitot that your tried to stab us with !!!!!! - LOL.

(Did you get the email i sent OK BTW ?)

Anyway back to the 1129, the 1121 wings whilst similar in shape are a bit smaller that the 1129's but might be very handy for the 1125 at a later date.

Awesome Valk!!  :wub:

But, shouldn't that F-108 have been in RAF marking as well, to escort it?  ;)

And may I ask what those two ships, entering stage right, might be?  :wub:

Thanks.
:huh:  Do you mean Henschel Hs293 missiles below the wings?

Do you mean these two ?

They are HMS Queen Elizabeth R-01 (CVF carrier currently trying to be designed so it can be ordered) and HMS Ocean L-12, LPH (real ship). Both iin 1/600 scale by me.

Yep, that Valkyrie is an impressive site.  You need to provide more pics, if possible.  And of the other subjects nearby (I see T-Tails!).

You're right about the long joins in any such kit.  I know some suggest using capillary action with penetrating CA glues for such long joins but I always end up wearing the damn kit wherever I go for a week!

Great Valk' Lee, but I never realised how big it was !

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

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you look at the size of that thing  :o  :o  :o  :o

It dwarfs the Vulcan......

Whats What-if about the 2-seat 74 squadron Lightning?  I think I spy a large belly tank, so are we talking about an RAF T.55 equivalent?

I had thought of doing the Val up in Airforce One colours. You know how there is this constant game of oneupmanship. You know, the presidential limo in the bomb-bay, a small oval office behind the pilots, and space for a few aids. Imagine the Pres of the US arriving in Moscow onboard that beastie. Mind you, you'd need to seriously support such a plane for that role.

The present AF1 being a 747 has a lot of coushie extras. When I studied the structural drawings of the Valkarie it was clear that there was seriously no room left for a president and a few aids to wander about and discuss issues. The bomb-bay was tiny compaired to what I thought it would be and most of the aft fuselage was dedicated to fuel storage. Still, it would have been a fast Air Force One!

QuoteLockheed had been lined up by BAC as prime contractor for TSR2, and the French were interested in licence production of TSR2 to replace the Mirage 4.
Really only fair of BAC since they were to serve as Prime on the BAC222 version of the C-130.
