    Kitbashed Sci-fi Flyer

    I had lots of fun with this one and considering it's my first attempt at something like this I'm really happy with it.

    Based loosely around an AI image I found, I chopped up a 1/72 Apache kit for the cockpit and went from there. It's all imaginary so there's no need to critique the aerodynamics or question how jet engines work in space! :tongue-out3:

                Very cool. I didn’t realise the engines swivel up, which makes it even better

                        What a great result, Andy.
                        Terrific imagination, all nicely brought into fruition!

                        I know a 'Chucker'. She said she would be happy to oblige and added she was quite used to being hired out before she married me......Can't think what she meant.
