Alan Barton Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I have one of these kits still sealed in the shrink wrap but when my friend Tom from Pennsylvania sent me a gently gluebombed example I decided I had to rescue it! After doing a bunch of complex builds this year I needed to do something simple. The temptation to super detail the model was huge but I held firm and just added a few visual tricks to wrap it up. I didn't like the open hole in the top of the fin so I added an extended radar dome thingie with two protective covers from the probes off a multi meter. It also needed a jet motor so I fabricated an exhaust cone using the compression fitting from a garden hose and a piece of an old rusty cake icing tool! Finally I cut away the sides of the interior to put a fit a slightly undersized driver albeit substantially larger and more to scale than the one that came with the model. Comments and critiques welcome. Cheers Alan 1
Lobo2me Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Ingenious. Bravo. Love the garden hose mixer nozzle and the guys looking on. Let her rip!
