The 1970s, when cars were colourful.

It looks like the poor waiter has been working at the same cafe since the 1940s...

So, just paint his hair very light grey or white! ;D

1/35 IDF Eitan Wheeled APC coming:



Oh, bugger!  :icon_crap:

Again!  :o

Ditto !!!  You're in good company Wombat.  I now have 9 resin kits that have been recently released in plastic.  :icon_nif:

I'm fine on the resin front, it's just another kit I'm going to have to find a hiding place in the Wombat Stash for. 8)

SWMBO must never find out! :o

For your cruise missile, consider the engine in the JSSAM-ER, which I am given to uderstand is the same as was fitted to the AGM-137A/BGM-137B.  That should give you a suitable and proven engine.

Thanks Evan. I had considered the Teledyne J402-CA-400 which seemed to be a perfect size match.

That said, two elements make the J402 series less than ideal. The first is having a much higher sfc than (the admittedly bulkier) modern turbofans. The second is a turbojet's give-away screech at low altitude. (Mind you, the latter issue doesn't seem to stop the Storm Shadows from getting through.)

Top Aces @topaces

Exciting news! Our TA-4J Skyhawk landed safely in #Canada this week, accompanied on its journey from #Germany by our trusty Learjet.

A lovely build ... although there is a bit of 'silvering' on that '499' nose decal  ;)
