Hi all

This is a build I did for the Frankenstein/kit bash Group build over on Sprues.

From this....




Came this......











:rolleyes:











And of course the scale shots with Arthur Brain and the Yellow Landrover (a bit of an anachronism I know  ;D)





For those interested the build thread is here https://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=11364.0;all#lastPost

This was one of those enjoyable builds that has just "worked"  No problems,  no parts constantly failing, no masking fails (sort of :rolleyes: ) , basically everything came together just so and it looks good for it,

But, as always all comments and criticisms gratefully accepted

I like that  :thumbsup:  At first I thought the rear gunner must have really long arms, and then I realised he was the pilot  ;D So, a canard, pusher biplane, with no silly interupter gear to mess with the rate of fire  ;)

Simple but stunning colour scheme as well.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

With reverse stagger wings as well!  :thumbsup:
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! :)

I built in the reverse stagger to increase the pilots field of vision  but boy dies it play with your spacial perception  :o  :o  ;D

Hat's off, a truly wonderful creation. It grows on me every time I look at it. Have to admit, I don't think I would have ever come up with this one.
