Boeing E767 AWACS

I mentioned in the recent post about my Japanese C-130 that there was an even more outrageous model to come.  Here it is.  Built from a Doyusha plastic kit, this is a 1/300 scale model of the militarised 767, complete with flying saucer attachment on the roof.  God knows how I'll find a way to include it in a game - all I can say is that stranger things have flown, driven and to a lesser extent, sailed across my wargames table...

    I see shades of Tom Clancy here. Nice bird.

    Thanks. I think it was a case of "I buy 1/300 aircraft - this is a 1/300 aircraft, therefore I must buy it..."
