Tophe would sometimes take a photo or drawing posted by somebody else, and make his own developments on the theme. More fuselages and engines, for example. He did that to a couple of my doodles but I haven't found those now.

Let's see if I can make Tor Odinsson's airplane more "Tophe".

I might have a side view coming along. But then.... just a second fuselage to fit more engines? And a pod for another engine? Or a pod for the pilot? A pod for the pilot AND another engine?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Ohhh ..I like this 👌

Pod for the pilot and another engine and because it's for our mate Tophe..another engine  :wacko:  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I might actually make something out of this.

That has a certain Pond Racer vibe to it.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Much too symmetrical! I suggest two engines on one side and the pod on the other. And the horizontal tail sprout from one boom and extend behind the pod. Don't worry about landing gear, Tophe never did.  :wacko:

I'm calling it done.
I'm much too square to make it asymmetrical... ;)

It may not be asymmetrical but is still 100%  tophe.

Lovely pixels  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

You'd need at least two Heston kits to build it.

I've got one....................  ;D

The Heston is a stretched version too (compared with the real Napier-Heston Racer). A couple of late model Spitfire kits might help  :wacko:

Oh dear, I've only got about 90 Spitfire kits. :(
