Hot Wheels Mad Propz ... repainted!

I want you to imaging that you are reading the headline of the latest issue of THE TRUTH, the official newspaper of SPUR (the Soviet People's United Republics) ...
NEW FIGHTER JOINS THE RANKS OF THE ARMY AIR FORCE OF THE SOVIET PEOPLE'S UNITED REPUBLICS!


The latest addition to the all-mighty Army Air Force of our beloved Republics has been unveiled! Yesterday the Kordov FF-1 Fighter was shown to the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet and other distinguished guests at an undisclosed secret airbase. The aircraft was put through its paces in front of the Chairman and his entourage, and showed itself to be faster and more manoeuvrable than any other fighter aircraft currently in service. The Chairman was so impressed that he ordered that the fighter be immediately put into mass-production.

Long live the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet! Long live the Soviet People's United Republics!

In truth, the Kordov FF-1 Fighter is the repainted Hot Wheels Mad Propz ... and I think that it looks just like some of the proposed light-weight, point-defence fighters that were designed during the late 1930s.









If I find any more of these Hot Wheels Mad Propz on sale, I will certainly buy and repaint a few more.

  1. Bob,
    Is the high gloss finish a device to reduce drag/air resistance?
    I wouldn't like to have to land that plane: the pilot's view is very restricted by the long nose and position of the cockpit...
    Best wishes,
    Arthur

  2. I looked up the guy that designed this plane. I'm no pilot, but some of his designs make no sense to me.

    The high gloss finish is so that the prototype can win world speed records and beat the capitalist scum at their own game.

    As for landing the aircraft, are you suggesting that the pilots of SPUR's Army Air Force are technically less able than the imperial lackey stooges who fly the products of the capitalist’s war-mongering factories? Such is defeatist talk comrade; perhaps a spell of re-education is called for? See me later! :^)

    All the best,

    Bob

  4. Chris,

    I think that some of his designs didn't make a lot of sense to him as well!

    All the best,

  5. Stu Rat,

    Excellent thinking, comrade! A photograph of an Order of the People is on its way to you. Please feel free to cut it out and wear it with pride.

    All the best,

    Bob
