That's great but because of space constraints I've gone all digital. I've now got close to 550 GIGs of comic books. I would love to find these in digital format.
Do you mean Kindle? It appears that only a couple are in that format. This is one of those in Kindle and 'ComiXology' (..?) format and looks pretty good!

Has anyone heard of a cartoon strip called "Chicking Wings" ?

I found it by accident and see the chicken flies a white and red Hughes 500 or a Cessna.

Here is a link http://www.chickenwingscomics.com/cw-archive/

Does he fit the brief as I think I still have a Hughes 500 in my stash.

I know I posted this photo earlier as bait to lure folks in, but I've ordered a Hobby Boss Zero to do this as one of my subjects :-D

That does look cool.

My version will likely be a pretty normal- looking Zero by comparison!

I'll need to get a hold of a copy of the Black Zero Commando book to use as a backdrop ( with the Zero airbrushed out ). I tried to find a photo of it opened out and showing the back and front pages but of all the examples of Ian Kennedys artwork on the interweb, this was sadly not one of them.

Ya dancer! I just managed to secure a 1/32 Bentley on EvilBay, so a 3D version of this will be one of my builds. :-D

All the best.

Good show Greg. Did you get sorted for Red Falcons decals or will I make up templates for either someone else to print off or you to use as masks?

Still in. Better break those Zeros out of the loft!

Still, it begs the question: do I do one or both?!

That would be more than useful. I have a few Falcon sqn aircraft to do. Many thanks.
