One model per (non-working) day

To get rid of a certain reputation, I present you two free models for papermodelers-comic strip enthusiasts.
the Swordfish and the Shark from Blake & Mortimer's "the secret of the swordfish"
Hope you like it.

What a nice surprise, Bruno! Merci beaucoup!

I never heard of Blake & Mortimer series of comics. Lots of interesting planes pop up on search,especially Golden Comet/Rocket. I noticed all of them are straight winged designs. This is from time before Mig-15/F-86 etc with swept wings. Interesting. Thanks Bruno.

The bad guy in these comics, Kolonel Olrik has a flying wing airplane called the Red Wing. Which in the period of its release (1946 to 1949) was indeed rather futuristic.

Thanks, I needed to do something else.
My head started spinning almost as fast as the rotors of my models.

Amazing Bruno! Reminds the childhood the big book of comics! My dad love the histories! Thank you!

I guess Urania and Clio are giving some space to Erato or maybe Calliope!

Thanks B-man!
Tintin was fairly well known here in Australia. My sons grew up on Hergé's books (I used to read to them every night before bed) and the full set has pride of place on the bookshelf. I wish Blake and Mortimer was as widely available as I'm sure my boys and myself would have gotten hooked on those as well. The artwork and story lines are equally as good as Hergé.

I think I need to do some color schemes of my models. Did a quick count and found all the models that still need extra liveries. 64 to go in the most recent models. I think I will be busy for a few days (weeks?)
