It's the original miniature from the first movie. I believe sold at auction a few years back to one of the founders of Microsoft. He must have a very big mantelpiece.

Do the photon torpedo launchers work?

Do the photon torpedo launchers work?

Sadly, no. ST TNG started with a whopping model. I think it was about 10ft long but they had difficulty in handling it, so it got retired and a smaller 4ft version was used for the rest of the show with 'library' shots of the bigger one.

If it's the Airfix kit make sure you've got plenty of filler and patience.

Mould has been replaced twice since 2010. Last time for a limited edition, to raise money for it(XH588).

Look at the wing joints, I put loads of filler in and it looked smooth until the paint went on.

The tail's got a load round the base as well.

And as for the engine intakes, and the undercarriage being full of flash.....

That's the latest Airfix kit, I decided on an anti flash white early sixties finish though, instead of camo.

It's something else that needs plenty of filling and sanding as well.

All this talk of Vulcans makes me remember my old foamy Multiplex twin jet ( nearly a delta). It came with two 480 buggy motors and was quite stable easy to fly and great fun.
Painted mine to look a Mig 29 which it quite resembles.

Then brushless came along and when so fitted made it quite insane.

I had one of them too. The early ones as pictured flew much better than the later editions in blue and white, I think they changed the thrust lines a little. I also had a Sonic Liner which was unique and great fun to fly. Current Multiplex fleet includes a TwinStar II and Easy Star for the lad, both brushless and lipo.
