Jet & Prop - I - Kyushi K7W Shinden

First in a trilogy of aircraft in jet and prop form. All started way too early to enter in the current group build unfortunately.












Model: Hasegawa 1/72

Lovely models Tom. 

I always though the jet version looks rather un-balanced, not sure why. It just looks 'right' with a prop on the back.

I agree, lovely work!  I also see Mr. PR's point about the design appearing "unbalanced ".  I think to me the jet version always looked a little too close coupled.  I wonder if in the real world the design would have suffered from stability problems in the yaw axis. 

As usual..."longer wings...longer fuselage..."

           

When pictured together the jet version just looks like the prop fell off.

Good work though.   

I have one of these in the stash - the two in one kit.  It'll be drastically modified.

It does, doesn't it.

Nice work Tom 

Considering I like the weird even I ain't all that taken with the jet version.
It's like the tail pipe needs to be lengthened to balance the look better.

Still tho..very very nice stuff Tom   

I always felt it needed more directional stability....
