Lucky Luke.  :o haven't heard that name for decades... Sure brings back some memories... How about Sport Billy? Remember him? ;)

Doesn't ring any bells - we probably didn't get it here.

Or it was buried in the early afternoon, before we got home from school.

Ok, imagine a guy with a magic bag in which he has almost anything you can imagine from a football to spaceships, all in miniature size, and when he pulls something out of the bag, that item will grow to its normal size so the guy can use it... :rolleyes: ;D ;D

Sounds like something I could use in the real world...

IIRC there was a device like that in one of the Stainless Steel Rat books - "... for President", I think.
Removed 75% of the molecules and you carried the stuff around in miniature.
You also needed to carry around the machine to turn them back full size, of course.

Sorry I missed this five years ago. It's a great idea: pretty credible actually. :thumbsup:

The NASA scheme really suits the Foxbat, and that rotating camera nose is very clever.

I can't help wondering what you're going to build for SNEEZY, SLEEPY, BASHFUL, DOPEY and DOC.  ;D

SNEEZY - A-10 variant with a big, single-shot cannon instead of the GAU-8.
SLEEPY - Covert ops aircraft designed to spray narcoleptic compounds on the enemy. Origin of the "chemtrails" conspiracy theory.
BASHFUL - Optical stealth test aircraft. Hard to photograph.
DOPEY - Innocent-looking cargo aircraft used to move "supplies" from Central America for the CIA.
DOC - Medevac aircraft prototype.

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! :)

GRUMPY - well, he's well named; so don't get on the wrong side of him... or anywhere nearby, actually.
Usually sporting an orange paint scheme...  :angel:
