artoor_k Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hello everyone!:) I think many of us often have a strange voice in their heads:"Let's begin it,let's begin it,let's begin it...you'll finish these already started models later, begin it, begin it...BEGIN IT RIGHT NOW!!!!WHY DON"T YOU BEGIN IT YET!!!???" I have this voice since I've began to read about polish warplane project called "PZL-230F Scorpion". This could be a good attack plane but it never flew. Only a mock-up was build and then project was cancelled :( It's sad because...well just look at this beauty: I've decided to build it using spare parts from two models:SR-71 1:72 and F-16 1:48. Of course styrene sheets and a lot of putty is requied :D Actual look: Armanent was taken from F-16 and A-10. I'll use some bombs and fuel tanks...and now I'm going back to work :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

no_man_army Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 i bet this turs out to be a right little beauty, and as for the little begin voice i agree the amount of kits i leave unfinished is a joke. I hate the impatient start voice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
