During some searching over the hollidays, I found this.

I was impressed by the quality of construction and creativity/coolness of the color scheme
and attractiveness of the result. Builder was someone named Andy Davies. Evidently
won an IPMS show in the UK last year with it. I hope this isn't a repost.
Hope I put it in the correct place as well.

Included a few images, many more larger ones at the sources below:

Impressive!

I have the SR-75/XR-7 still in its box (I bought it 20 years ago) ... :p

...I have one still in box as well, although the box damn sure ain't mint. The late and still missed Village Hobby here in Austin had one on their markdown/damaged shelf for $4.00 USD, so I snatched it up. That was 15 years ago, and although I've thought about pulling it out and doing a kitbash, I can't seem to bring myself to do much modeling these days. About the only project that's come to mind is one that hit me in a dream a few weeks ago: a B-52 carrier with an Apollo CSM mounted for a drop test.

No. Really. I do blame the lasagna I had the night before, however... :p
 
Well, should you have the lasagna again, you might consider a B-52C carrying a B-1A escape module under the wing...inverted.
 
I hear you guys!

After spicy Italian last weekend, I dreamed I was on a B-52 and Summer Glau,
in black spandex, who was there (for some reason), was looking at me like I had
been a very naughty boy!

Been trying to get back there, with no luck!

My mom recently pulled my SR-75 out of my old room (long a model museum !) and put it on the lane sideboard, along with my Bombcorde
She justified her decision saying
"those big airplanes makes a nice exhibit there isn't it ? they were gathering dust in that old room..."

Thanks Mom. ;D
