    Upgrade for UFO interceptor craft

    It's the translucent plastic sets and lens flares that make some episodes of Scarlet an acid trip But if you want deeply weird, as we're in UFO mode, try 'ESP', 'Cat with Ten Lives', or 'Long Sleep' Or 'See You Down There' for Joe 90 Or any episode of Stingray written by Alan Patillio

    Chris' Retrokit 1/144th MiG-21I Analog

    'Artyem Ivanovich, where is my Analog?' Oh, here it is! There are exactly no colour photos of Analog 1 out there, but there lots of bw pics. And kit plans. Some people insist on the 'plane being bare metal with the white spine, strake and fin decoration (and blue cheat line). Analog 2 is...

    Chris' 1/144th F-Toys MiG-21F-13

    Greetings comrades from the Mikoyan factory! EFKA (never heard of them before) have a 1/48 MiG-21 F13 in Czech service kit out, and the entire thing is shown online, parts, transfers, plans, and, best of all, close-up photos. Including one of all the yellow-pipe gubbins behind the cockpit...

    Aliens M577 Armoured Personnel Carrier 1/35

    Never really noticed that, though I do seem to remember a big 01 on the back? Or was that just the dropship Google image search time

    Upgrade for UFO interceptor craft

    And are the aliens in UFO the Mysterons as well?

    Upgrade for UFO interceptor craft

    What's not to understand? Secret mission to Mars, (by international law-enforcement organisation), destroys city of super-powerful aliens, which they can remake with a perfect copy through retro-metabolism (space magic), and who then spend the next thirty-two episodes slaughtering thousands of...

    1/35 Aliens M577 APC 3D Print Manufacturer unknown

    I don't know if it's the camera, but the burn marks and weathering look purple on my screen. It's lasers! Very nice result there

    Aliens M577 Armoured Personnel Carrier 1/35

    Yep, certainly captured the onscreen look of that gert slab of a thing!. Now you just need some marines to deploy around it! Y'know though, a 'modern' version of this beast, a la 'Prometheus/Covenant' would have serials and stencils all over it Like most of the Halcyon kits, their dropship...

    Langy's Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer S.2B

    Richard, who worked on Buccs in the RAF, says the tail strike device stays down when the 'plane is on the ground, power off, and airbrake open. Apparently, it may also stay down for take-off and landing, which seems to be kind of the point of the thing!

    Tracked in Black

    Fun. The running gear looks like it came off a T-50 light tank Y'know, there are any number of weird half-track conversions like this. There was a unique Matador with tracks and running gear off of a Valentine, but it was too complex, an d kind of pointless!

    Upgrade for UFO interceptor craft

    Ooh, never heard that before. Most of the Dinky TB2s on eBay are blue, the blister-pack version, so that must have been a re-issue sometime? Like ten years after Thunderbirds was first shown? Also, I've just seen a white Interceptor, with a set of red-stripe stickers, offering. There's an...

    Green Interceptor, green Shado Mobile, green Space 1999 Eagle, Thunderbird 2 in metallic blue Dinky Anderson's were weird!

    1/8 Commander Kate Shepard (Mass Effect Trilogy)

    Well, this sucks Bioware, the makers of Mass Effect and Dragon Age (two of my three most favourite game IPs), have just closed down after thirty years in the video game industry So, Mass Effect 5 is officially cancelled 'in it's early stages' after six years of teaser trailers and fan...

    Doesn't it just though Imagine the MiG version of a Saab Draken. Well, now you can!

    Chris' Retrokit 1/144th MiG-21I Analog

    Undercarriage main legs added, plus actuators out of bras rod and tube, as there don't seem to be any in among the big box o' copious spares. Also added a small strip under the starboard wing for the trailing edge piece, as it doesn't seem to be present This time around, even though the bird...
