Post by Chris558 »

Think I'd rather have a real jet engine powered by fuel, but if your budget is tight, this might do......http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/airfix-engineer

Aparently they are very dissapointing, but will appeal to some :) .....however if you want to save a few pennies, Airfix are producing a 1/72 scale Valiant :excited:

Let's hope the jet engine isn't a Trent 900! :worried:

No.. I can't say that sort of thing appeals to me.

Oh.. I'd want the 'standard' 2 for each engine and at £1k per bottle.. I don't think that's gonna happen :lol:

Yes by the look of the Jet Engine there are using the same tooling for the same product which was released by Discovery Kids about 5-6 years ago. That one was terrible.

Great idea though.

They had the reciprocating engine on American Chopper a while back.
A bunch of very experienced mechanics had trouble with getting it to go :lol: ...
