Pictures are showing up for me now-it looks pretty good. Can't wait to see it on the launcher.

And now the launch rail









At this point Titch decides to do her routine inspection.....


Dude do you think that camoflage is correct ?


Titch, you do not make a very good window !!!

With missile in launch position.......







Hmmmm   Thinking about it you could probably launch the missile with the wheels still attached to the carriage.

Next the complete unit.............

Tactical Winnebago is now "Cat Approved?" 

Nice little what-if that has all of the necessary bits and pieces.

Tail up, ears forward - I think Titch approves!

I really like the concept and great execution and a good use for those execrable BI-1 kits.

I don't know what it is, possibly the telephoto lens of the smart phone, but Titch always looks massive when I photo her on the workbench.

She is actually quite a small cat, probably half the size of our other two. She is a daddies girl and always visits me in the back bedroom, unfortunately she has no concept of kit bashing so she jumps up oblivious of the sharp things, pointy things, nasty substances and open paint pots. I have to take a few minutes time out and fuss her for a bit.

I have a Bristol Boxkite in the pipeline and I will have to exclude her from the room when I get to the rigging. When I was rigging the Sopwith Pup she paid me a visit and dropped hair all over the workspace.

Around three times I tried to fit a cat hair to the aircraft  :o
