This one is my personal favorite. It's one of Alvis Petrie's creations. Don't know what they smoke up there in British Columbia, but I want some!

Back in the early 80's Orange Blossum hobbies of Miami Fl. had a model in their display case that was a Russian something...??? The modeller used part of a steam locomotive, Ju-88, and other misc. parts to make a really great "fantasy" bomber? Thats the best I can discribe it? What a better way to use all those extra parts!
