Of course, on a BMD chassis, it's far more dangerous for the hippo.

That is too cool, Eric!

Based on the Sandpiper name, is your hull from that old, box-scale Marx privateer kit?

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that Lindberg repopped the Marx Sandpiper kit.

"From the Marx instruction sheet:

'We have named our little schooner the "Sandpiper", not from any actual historic vessel, but a name of her own, so that you may press her into whatever service your imagination dictates, without fear of running afoul of some long forgotten logbook'."
"It could have been different. But it wasn't."

Don't worry about the top deck hoses - I expect that hull will hold a lot of water to drop, if there's a large hatch in the bottom ;D

Mi-24 & jet, blue : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

the Mi-24 is 1/100, and the jet was found in a lot of used, not very well made kits,
and I didn't identify it until very recently, partly because it was painted in US Navy dark blue :
but it was (parts of) a SR 53 !
