This YouTube Content creator's channel just popped up in my YouTube and realized this guy needs more viewers.  His what-if Vulcan was the first link I saw and that led to me viewing more of his work in other videos he has shared.  Great work all around and if you like rabbits he has that covered too.

Yeah, no.  That would require me to log in to YouTube which I will not do since I was banned from accessing my original YT account.

Turning on the wayback machine to the mid 1960s. I remember seeing a table piled high with this kit at Woolworths in Toronto. Maybe $0.99.

Good call.   Give it the NCC-1701 finish and markings.   The decals are available.

Bet Carl is itching to build B-35 like that one with Canada insignia.

I did this a while ago:

Apologies if this is by someone from here.

What really gets me about this is that whoever made this really knows their onions. The .50 M85 that was in that cupola was custom-made to fit, all other weapons have too long a breech to fit inside except that minigun.

Via Modellversium.de: What-If Vought F-8G Crusader Bundesmarine, an alternative to the F-104G built by Ralf Kurz from the 1:48th scale Hasegawa kit.

That looks like a shouild'a been built combat engineer vehicle.  While the ammunition supply might have been limited, it would be quite effective for bunker busting and obstacle demolition tasks. 

I still detest the commander's cupola but other than that it looks great.

I think if I do another Bulldog I'll turn the turret upside down, clamp it to something and cut out the cupola with a hole-saw rather than cut it off level with a razor saw. Then I'd tackle that bulge at the front of the cupola or maybe even leave it on with the new cupola as extra armour. This way it'd save a lot more detail.
