F-87 instigator is a futuristic fighter jet that packs an elegant punch. It combines high visual discernibility with extremely low radar visibility, through its rader-wave absorbing nose geometry. There is no need for camouflage, since by the time you see it, you're already in trouble. Its twin-engine design with thrust-vectoring requires very few control surfaces, save the stealth-enhancing 'ruddervators' that bend over the engines. Combined with the lift fan that is centrally embedded in the fuselage, the swivelling nozzles produce enough lift in order for the plane to have full VTOL capability (Vertical Take-Off and Landing). This means the plane can land on a tiny improvised air strip. Especially since it is only 30 cms in length:)
The Lego model contains about 350 bricks. Aside from some as-yet unavailable model/color combinations, it can, and has been, built. The design includes a custom stand that has a tilted platform with a giant stud on it. This stud neatly fits into the bottom of the lift fan housing, allowing the entire plane to be rotated 360 degrees around the stand.

That's a photograph project and the idea is to hunt 100 photos and match them for given titles. I'm doing the list in random order.
Here's the project list -> Artistic Temperament Scavenger Hunt.
Red Flag 16-2: an F-15E Strike Eagle, assigned to the 336th Fighter Squadron "Rocketeers", 4th Fighter Wing, departs Nellis AFB. This aircraft carries a live laser-guided bomb.
Citroen H van branded Norev, and 2CV branded Universal Hobbies. Both 1:87 scale.
Judging from the style of the model, and the base fixing these share a common heritage. It's interesting to note that the base details are printed – I assume as this makes multiple branding a simpler job.

De avant-gardistische stroomlijnvorm van de Tatra 87 doet ietwat aan een vis denken, zeker door de grote vin achterop.
Kenmerkend voor het Tatra-ontwerp zijn de drie koplampen. Mede dankzij de lage luchtweerstandscoëfficiënt (Cw-waarde) van 0,36 kan de drieliter V8-motor de auto voortstuwen naar een snelheid van 150 km/u. Dan wordt het echter wel gevaarlijk, want juist door de plaatsing van de zware motor achterin is de auto moeilijk hanteerbaar.
De Oostenrijkse ingenieur Hans Ledwinka treedt in 1921 in dienst als technisch directeur bij het Tsjechische Tatra. Hij is de uitvinder van het ruggengraatchassis en pionier op het gebied van aerodynamische carrosserieën. Het ontwerp van deze Tatra dateert al van voor de oorlog.
Omdat Hans Ledwinka en Ferdinand Porsche goede collega’s zijn, vermoedt Tatra dat Porsche zijn ontwerp van de Volkswagen Kever van hen heeft gekopieerd en spant een rechtszaak aan, maar deze wordt onderbroken door de oorlog. Later erkent Volkswagen echter de invloed van Tatra.
