Something rather special coming soon from Copper State Models....

[rowan broadbent]

Now I don't want to steal Ilya's thunder, but here's a new photo he just added to his Facebook page.....



Ilya will no doubt be along with some details soon, so I'll leave you with this teaser. Suffice to say that a certain Coyote will be pleased with the scale (and the subject, no doubt!). Really very excited about this one! It will have AWFUL decals, mind you......

[Thumbs up]

MMMMmmm...At first I thought it was a Bristol,but that fuel tank on the wing is throwing me?

[coyotemagic]

WooHOO!  Wonderful news, Rowan!  Ilya had sent me some profiles put together by a certain decal manufacturer known for rather dodgy stickers that may or may not adhere properly (may the "gentleman" responsible for that bit of dribble burn in modeling hell), but he swore me to secrecy.  Are we letting the cat out of the bag? 
Cheers,
Bud

Not a Bristol.

Hint: "One small step for man…"

......... Are we letting the cat out of the bag? 

Not entirely, as I said, Ilya posted this on his FB page, so it's "out there" but I'll let him do the full reveal on here when he's ready! This is just a bit of pre-pub....

FK ?

Whit are you talking about, Bo? Is it worth it?

"One small step".........

Will the boys all go Lunar? Will they want to Neil at Ilya's feet?

But does the reference to a certain Coyote mean it will be in 1/48???

PS...for those who survived "that other site".......I remember well the references to "stickers that don't stick". If I am not mistaken that phrase surfaced after I posted a positive review of the Albatros stickers. If that wasn;t the first use of it, I'm still pretty sure that that was the thread that finally lead to the showdown at the OK Corral. Yeah, that guy was a real albatross, better known by its slang name, Gooney Bird. He and the "Village Idiot". Dang, too bad we are spread across the globe....I'd say we could all meet at the local and hoist a round to being free of that crew.

You might even say that it was Kool...... Fred.

oooh! An Armstrong-Whitworth FK8 (late model with Brisfit undercarriage and side rads)....in what scale though? The only 1:72 one was Pegasus and that was an early model and was pretty basic.....I'm guessing 1:48 as it's CSM......(if the pic is on FB the cat is already out of the bag....)

Well, I, for one, will keep hand firmly wrapped around the opening of said bag until Ilya adds words to the picture.  But you're right, Ian.  Shhh.
Cheers,
