Hey Guys, i was just doing some Thinking when a Rather Cheeky Question Hit me:Has Anyone Tried Turning a Strategic Bomber into a "Barbie" Bomber? i was Thinking I'd try to get a Model of a B-52 and I Hope No one will Kill me, but Paint it PINK! Think it might Work?? What say You? Thanks for Looking. Dan

Last year there's been a terrific Hello Kitty F4M.  :wub:

Love that Chevelle! It'd have been a real hoot on the strip, specially if it had won!  :thumbsup: ;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! :)

Not so much now, but there's still the odd one knocking about.

IPMS (UK) Coventry & Warwickshire did an entire "Pretty in pink" stand for the UK nationals several years ago.

Every thing on the stand was pink in one form or another. Some real world others not so real.
It as a bit of an assult on the visual senses.

Why did they/we do it? At the previous years Xmas dinner, one of the partners quipped that we would never have anything pink on our club stand.
That was a red rag to a bull situation. so that was the theme for the next year settled.

On a side note there has been talk at the club, to do Pretty in pink II. weather it ever happens is yet to be seen.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

High Impact Pink was a factory colour on Valiant Chargers.

Remember that well, it was a flippin' good display. Amusing how one or two members really had to bend the definition of pink though. I still don't think that desert sand 6/8 ?- wheeled Afrika Korps armoured car was pink though  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
