S5 modeller Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Aye, have seen the image. Shame there isn't a mid point option in the kit. I've yet to try mine on the gear (am waiting on sac metal gear) but have a feeling the drooped option in the kit might put the tips too close to the ground. I like the look of her better with the wing tips drooping, so might have to modify the black sections between the main wings and the wing tips.

I expect with some work you could alter the angle to the mid-point. I thought about it myself by cutting of the tabs, and cementing them back on to the wing tips at a more appropriate position.

Wee Beastie Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well, this is as good as done. I am going to mount it onto a wooden plinth, just in the process of sorting that out. I'll put up pics once it's ready. Meanwhile, here it is, the "What-if" Valkyrie. And what a sight (and sound) this could have been over Norfolk!! B-70E Valkyrie "Sledgehammer".
