I am guilty of watching anime if itz got mech,s,droidsor flying things. So a year or so ago while looking around on Netflix for something to watch i came across THE LAST EXILE and gave it a look it had some kinda flying things called Vanships on it and i thought i wonder if i could build one? Some time later while looking thru a Squadron catalog i saw a 1937 Cord kit and my brain came to a screeching halt and screamed Vanship and that how it all started !
This is the kit i am gonna put to the saw ! The Original Mike Oscar Juliet Oscar Outcast ! End Transmission Semper Fi !

This is one of the few references i have found other than hitting the pause button on the flic !
There is no guilt from watching Anime.
The Last Exile was a good show. Lots of cool things that I'd like to have in plastic. There is a sequel, if you didn't know, and a kit of a Vanship from that series came out this year.
I am anxious to see where you take this! Subscribed!
Yes Watchman i do know of Sequel and have yet to watch it and the kit that came out is what forced me to try to make a larger scale Vanship !

The fuselage top view with the upper gaps filled in with C/D cases -note when using C/D cases it is advisable to give them a sanding they have some kinda coating on them that dose not like paint too well ! The wedge and other hunk of plastic is sections that got cut outta the hood and trunk to get the right fuselage shape ! The Original Mike Oscar Juliet Oscar Outcast ! End Transmission-Semper Fi

Very cool! You can definitely is starting to look like a vanship. Do you plan to build Claus' courier, Tatiana's fighter, or come up with one of your own? Props for taking this on! Can't wait to see it all come together.

Nice scratch build. I like how you made the front wing things with the curved parts

I detect a bit Gunship influence as well.
Neat, I will have to look for this, is it a cable show or video-game?

That's what I'm talking about. Good thinking.
Some very clever kitbashing going on here. Watching with interest for sure.
