Nothing will part me from my Empire Flying boat though. Alexandria, Singapore, Scotland anywhere is game, and it comes with a free Indiana Jones :lol:

Yes I got it, I love old war birds... it not too bad, the pit could use some better textureing as could some of the paints.. however the mass of leavers seems to capture the the feel and the struggle to get a fully fueled one off the deck seems to match what I have read.. sitting with engines redline and ignoreing the cylinder temps to get up! its good fun, could be better but im happy enough.. hope the pics give a better idear of what its like, I will warn you though its no A2A b-17 an a lot of money really..

I like the one of it over the Pyramids. You can compare modern bricklaying skills with those of 5000 years ago.

Hi Sam :hello:

Well.. the fact it's not an A2A monster full of complication may be of more interest to some than another A2A monster full of complication. Of course, the opposite could also be said ;)
The main thing is you're happy with it and that's the important thing :thumbsup:

Feel free to post more screenies as you see fit to give prospective buyers a better idea of what to expect. At least we know what we see from your shots are of the release model ;)
