Murph's Model - Textron AirLand Scorpion, 1/46

[papermate]

Here's Aaron's latest model, the Textron AirLand Scorpion, originally, 1/46, but now reduced to 70%, i.e. 1/65, to fit on 4x6" photoprints. The model now showing measures slightly over 8" and the original length should be somewhere over 11". Some slight adjustments are on the last pic and Aaron will surely fix them before releasing the kit.

That looks amazing! This is another one that I've been waiting for somebody to take my money for a model. Looks like Murph gets it again.

Thank you guys, as a matter of fact, there are flaws but not revealed by the angle of view. It's not very easy to work with photoprints which I think is a medium too wild to tame. It works better if there are formers for each section to join as photoprint paper has a tendency to resist curling, yielding and bending.
