Nice, thanks for sharing Michael! A work colleague made me aware of this little pocket rocket a while ago.

Would love a 1:1 scale version but a bit out of my price range!

Very cool!!

"Say what you will about Amodel", but I LOVE their range... they have tons and tons of super interesting subjects and I think they're getting better at the actual production of them as well. I've compared earlier Amodel kits of my own with newer ones ( and even built one) and the newer stuff is better looking for sure. Still a pain in the ass, but... better!!!

They make a lot of cool civil 1/144 stuff, too, which I like.

I agree about the improving quality of Amodel kits. I might have to have me one of this one, it looks like the kind of thing you'd see in a science fiction movie.

Very slick and spacey looking machine! Interesting to build a kit of something that hasn't really become much more than a prototype yet from what I can gather. If you want to go from A to B using a piston engine, then this machine is for you at a measly $700k USD. Reckon a few cashed up medico's could go for this - a 21st Century "Bonanza".
