Hi all, although I still know too little about the CH universe, I took the plunge and created a little flying monster - the Dragonfly. I guess Peter can decide which race this thingy should be assigned too (heh - lazy old me). Although they can't be seen, the lower wings bear a CH missile pod from the heavy tank model, and a drone (an od very small scale B25 Marauder off an aircraft carrier model). |

(Otterman @ Jun. 12 2007,00:23) QUOTE The fuselage is a what now? It looks mighty cool. Don't laugh. The rear part is part of some applicator thingy used to dispense some sort of fluid used in pathology specimen preparations, unless it's something dental (my wife is metamorphosing from a dentist to a pathologist, and it's hard to keep track of the parts which end up in the bits box). The front part (besides the plasticard panels) is one rectangular brass pin from a 13A 3-pin plug used with just about every electrical appliance here in Malta - and in the UK, as far as I know. The wings are tabs off an ice cream tub, the antennae come from a 2001: A Space Odyssey Orion clipper kit (sad, that had got broken years ago.... nice model); and I've already explained the (invisible in this shot) missile launcher and drone. |

Inspired, looks like a dragonfly, the Dragonfly MKI observation and spotter plane. The title says odds and ends, that's the odd, where's the ends?

Mitchells, of course, for the Doolittle raid on Tokyo.

(Legion 4 @ Jun. 12 2007,23:26) QUOTE Don't they get the History Channel in Malta ?! We don't - but the trouble here is caffeine related.... sigh. I've loved the Mitchell and the Marauder ever since I was - er - 11-ish? And, perhaps unusually, I've always preferred the B-26. I have a 1/72 model of it waiting to be built - I'm planning something which is wavering between a Venetian air force B-26 (!) or, more likely, a colour scheme based on Catch-22

Oh yeah. The B-26 was a beautiful sleek design compared to the more "boxish" look of the B-25. I had a 1:72 airfix kit of the model as well. Excellent kit IMO

Didn't get that one but now you mention it - it's obvious. I'm claiming that I was mislead by the lack of any scale reference  Orde |
