Now that's creative and very well done. I have to ask, how did you get what I believe is cotton to trail behind the airplane in such a straight manner. The smoke appearance is very effective and I want to know how to do it. 🙂

Thank you. I used 2mm clear acrylic rod and then stuck the whisps of cotton wool on in layers.

Love the rockets heading on their way. Your modelling of the rocket-exhausts looks very authentic. 

 

I remember watching a YouTube video which claimed that the Typhoon's rocket were very erratic in flight and subsequently they hit less than one percent of their intended targets. I don't know how accurate this claim is, but I don't find it too difficult to believe.

 

Thanks for sharing with us.

Oh wow that's great, it looks fantastic.  Great work.  Imagine being on the ground when they were diving and releasing the rockets,what an awesome bit of kit and a great model.

Thanks for sharing

 

All the best

Chris

Now we know where the Rocket idea came from! A magnificent beast beautifully built and presented.
