Ian, that looks very nice. Not at all sure I'd trust my life to such a weird contraption though!

You’d be fine Dave , just don’t stand up in the seat !!

I think must be because they are associated with the army

My guess is that it’s twofold

Cheers chaps, you both came to the same sort of conclusion - I am educated. Back to Ian and his flying machine.

They have room for people in the back.

Great progress so far Ian and I see that you haven't broken any of the frail parts either. How do you find the Miniart plastic to work with?

As a passenger, I wouldn't be jumping out of my seat at any time soon, that's for sure…………...

I'm guessing it's not fitted with ejector seats!

I think it’s through luck more than anything, I don’t mind the plastic it’s a softer type but you can cut and sand it without any problem you just need to be very careful with the tubing, but that would go with any plastic really.

Sliced Heir Gruber anyone?

[papa 695]

Got the undercarriage fitted, and as you can see even with the weight I’ve added it’s still a tail sitter. It’s no good I’m going to have to put it on a base. So I’ll have a look for some good figures to go with it.

Put a tin figure in the front seat?

[papa 695]

Been thinking about a base for this, decided to go for something like the box art.

so I got theses MB Tankmen figures, The two re-fuelling should do nicely.

I’ve made a start on the base.

Nice start on the base Ian :thumb2: , good choice of figures.
