Hey all!

I asked this once a long time ago, but…

Way back in the day there was a FSM article about converting a flying wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark into a decent model. I can’t find that article on FSM’s site. Can anyone give me a hand here? At the time I asked, another forum member was kind enough to send me a scan of the article, but alas, that was lost when my old computer gave up the ghost.

I found one of these flying wings on ebay, and it is on the way to me! Now I just need to find the article that inspired this crazy project!

There is a fan-produced resin version of the plane available:

The master and the casting are top notch.

It does look nice! But it is $115 and out of stock. I’ll wait for my $20 plastic to arrive, and attempt to do justice to scratching and converting.

Thanks!

No problem. Keep us posted!

The article is in the Sept 2003 issue of FSM.
