it pays to read a book up-side-down on occassion ! :-\ ;D

DML's 1/144th A-6E or Tamiya's 1/100th A-6A should make a neat 1/35th UAV ;)

Fujimi's 1/700th A6 may be a bit small for an aircraft-mounted Firebee target-drone ?

run out of ideas lately but -- as usual -- Tophe gave me a starter with his vtol Me-262.  Here's my take on it - a 2-seater "x-wing" ....

In an attempt to survive in the cuts to the number of Leyland brands, MG took an idea from the Morgan 3-wheeler.  The M.G. B-T was designed for the new market in 3-wheel single-seaters which became popular in an effort to slash the exhorbitant new road-tax, insurance & registration costs.

I'm sure they'd sell more MX-5's in UK & Canada if it had a hard-top hatch ..

The Mazda looks great - very natural. And the MG B-T Flyer is pretty cool, too; looks like something that could fit into the Star Trek world as a retro-styled personal planetary shuttle. ;D

Beautiful, though I always pictured a hardtop MX-5/Miata as having a curving roof line like a 240Z or a Cobra Daytona Coupe.

I do agree they'd sell a lot of those in the US and Canada.

It manages to remind me of BM-335 in Ace Combat Zero, only much better-looking.  :)
