Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Nice one.

That thing doesn't need guns. It'd just crush all opposition.

She is superb!  Nice construction and layout.  You packed a lot of firepower there in a relatively small area.

very nice idea and a very good execution, awesome!

The only problem is that I have not understood well the conversion you did for the captain.

Now that is cool! It's good to see someone who's building something large for VSF this month that isn't an aeronef... ::)

Thanks for the great comments.

I am holding off building an aeronef for now. My next project will be a ram landship. Same concept in design but it will be half as long again with twin funnels and front and rear turret but smaller calibre guns. The main attack will be the ram. It will again be amphibious and suitable for both VSF and Colonial.

Cheers
Fuzzy
