Bang Seat Dio
« on: December 05, 2013, 10:57:40 PM »
Ok..., so it`s missing some wings and railway track is involved, but I wasn`t really sure where to post this?

Anyways, after my 1/48 Lightning T.5 conversion earlier this year I had the front end of a single seater stored in the spares box and wondered what the heck I could do with it.

So I came up with this........,















Pretty much all scratch built using spares from the box with the track coming from a destroyed toy train set that the kids wrecked.

Something a little different and proves that the spares box can always supply you with a side project.

Can't say I do &, unfortunately, I can't view your vid as internet here on Christmas Island is... well... crap, & it'll take me a week to load the thing or to view it if it's streamed.

(I miss out on so much of the "Humour" thread that way, & I so-o need some humour in my life up here! :-X )

Beautiful!!  Though I'll admit that most of the rocket sleds I've seen are a bit more compact (and the one for the B-2's ejector seats had some lines changed where it didn't count to disguise what it really looked like).
