Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Lightning Mate]

I was thinking of something else.

[Noyade]

Thread Drift - Grasshopper

Speaking of "Japs", do you recognise this actor?
He appeared in the TV series "Kung Fu" and the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun"...

[Noyade]

Sorry Martin, no idea what the legless Jap is.

[Lightning Mate]

I think your "Jap" might be Richard Loo.

[Ridge Runner]

Sorry mate..... There is little info about it on the web but it is there. The designer produced one other flyable design... a very nice looking twin with six-blade props! He also produced a twin-fuselage fighter design (not built).....

.....whoosh..... TC are you going to strike?

Richard Loo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turns out he's not Japanese, but always played them in war movies.

[Lightning Mate]

Something from Hasegawa?

[Noyade]

flyable design

So three designs, but none flew?

[Lightning Mate]

Maybe a Tachikawa.

[Noyade]

.....whoosh..... TC are you going to strike?

I don't think so Martin. He usually hits hard and fast and doesn't linger around. At least there is no pain. Mercifully quick.

Good luck David. "Hasegawa" - you're a funny guy mate.

Cheers.

Is it the Rikugun Kogiken A?

Unicraft Models 1/72 Kogiken I

Graeme - it's not Hasegawa - it's Unicraft Just take one P-39......!!

[Lightning Mate]

I didn't mean the kit maker!

[Lightning Mate]

Nice call mate.

When I posted Hasegawa I think Graeme thought I meant the kit manufacturer.

I was refering to the designer himself.

Cheers David

When I posted Hasegawa I think Graeme thought I meant the kit manufacturer.

He was'nt the only one - had assumed you put it there as a joke Little did you know how close you were Being thick I hadn't realised there was an aircraft designer called Mr Hasegawa - have now looked him up!

[Lightning Mate]

I knew I was getting close.

However I became distracted reading an interesting article about him instead of concentrating on the challenge.

Now, where's Martin when you need him...........

I became distracted reading an interesting article about him

Done that before and missed out - still you never know as you can sometimes stumble across a future challenge that way.

Guess it's lunch time now...I'm sure Martin will be back soon.

[Lightning Mate]

...still you never know as you can sometimes stumble across a future challenge
that way.

You're not wrong there.

Had a little "chat" with Trevor over the weekend.

I have eleven days to go to getting state pension, and it's a lot more than I thought, so with that and no NI payments to make I might just quit you know.

[Ridge Runner]

Sorry, sorry... a long with the boss! .... Yes, the Rikogun Type A. Ken has it I think!

[Lightning Mate]

Sorry, sorry... a long with the boss!

Payrise????

[skytrain10]

Thanks Martin. Hope conversations with the boss went well

so with that and no NI payments to make I might just quit you know.

If it works for you financially mate, go for it

Here we go:
