This one is probably not very fair as it is another hobby of mine but it is a kit from airfix.

And the winner is Spanner, This model is one of the Jupiter C program that launched America's first Satellite Explorer 1 on the 31st of January 1958.

Nah, sowwy Gwaham!

 

[Guest]

Well at least i can say i won the first round but it will be minus 100c in hell before i win the next one lol.

I thought that the tank hatch was a good idea but then my wife said it looks like my holder for my teefth.

My quess is that they are tank mud flaps reinforced of course as we don't want any punctures now do we!!! time for my medication i think.

 

[spanner570]

Tank mud flaps!!!!!

If that's the best you can come up with can I respectfully suggest your missus has next go?

Tank mud flaps, ha!

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

My wife says it is something to help you build with in the modeling sense.

 

[spanner570]

Sorry Allan, but not a bad effort.
