Today, in what little time I've had, I've been fondling the plastic, working out what needs cleaning up, etc... and whether to steampunk it.....due to time it'll be a straight build but new scheme/scenario.

Next one WILL be modified though. :) :icon_ninja:

You certainly picked an ideal kit for a quick build, Radish!

Some might scoff at HobbyBoss, but I find they're excellent for whiffing.

I can't wait to see what you do with it!

LOVE those little HB kits man and as Brian said they're perfect for whiffing!!  Nicely detailed and dirt cheap, just what us whiffers ordered  8)

Looking forward to this one man!

Been busy painting the base and the '666......

I found this Sabre that looks interesting?

FINISHED...phew!!

Crap photos at the end:

"Marseilles' Messerschmitt Me 666F-4 based somewhere in Afrika. The '666F-4, like many '666s, was fitted with an aether-screw designed by non othere than Dr Von Scott, succeeding in pulling air swiftly into the intake and increasing airflow accordingly."

So well looking and displayed  :)
Twisty air intake screws is whole new kinda concept.  Must twist the air in something fierce.  Is it like supercharging a jet engine  ???

Very nicely done there Radish!!!!  I'd love to hear more about this "Screw intake" concept.
