Anyway, the Amodel 1/72 of the Rutan Voyager, a kit I have had around just for the beauty of the sircraft -- if you don't like Rutan designs, you have no heart ....
From Wikipedia:
The Rutan Model 76 Voyager was the first aircraft to fly around the world without stopping or refueling. It was piloted by Richard Rutan and Jeana Yeager. The flight took off from Edwards Air Force Base's 15,000 foot (4,600 m) runway in the Mojave Desert on December 14, 1986, and ended 9 days, 3 minutes and 44 seconds later, on December 23. The aircraft flew easterly 26,366 statute miles (42,432 km; the FAI accredited distance is 40,212 km)[1] at an average altitude of 11,000 feet (3,350 m). This definitively broke a previous record set by a United States Air Force crew piloting a Boeing B-52 that flew 12,532 miles (20,168 km) in 1962. You can read more about it here.
The kit appears very simple, but unlike the Global Flyer, the molding has lots of flash, thick connections, etc. Fortunately, it has no panel lines, making life and clean-up very simple.
Paint is all white, all the colors specified are Humbrol so I'm set. The only risk is if I have decal problems.
I think I shall build this gear up, deither to be hung from the ceiling along with Global Flyer, or on it's stand or maybe one of my own making.
