Project-X did some good stuff, all vacforms though, but mastered by a master of the genre.

I have a few of them in The Loft too, but so far I've only built one of my collection. I really should the others, specially the BAC 221!
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! :)

Interesting stuff there. I haven't done a vac in decades.

I still have a Falcon MB5 to do... some decade or other.  :thumbsup:

The Wooksta!

The Pegasus Miles Master is actually the fighter version from the invasion panic of 1940.

I've got one of those in 1/72. The fuselage and wings might be ok put you have to rob a couple of kits for parts to finish it. I'm thinking a couple of Tempest or Typhoon for the landing gear, prop blades and cockpit.

Yeah, I have an old Aeroclub contra-prop earmarked for it; but I haven't started looking for other bits, as yet.
