1/32 scale P-40E Spacefighter

[Stargeezer]

I have started a new project when I went to see Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith and saw the General Grievous star fighter I thought it looked kinda like two P-40s stuck together. I have now gotten my hands on a couple of Revell's old 1/32 scale P-40E kits and started bashing a retro space fighter. The design is going to be more like the F-82 twin Mustang. I will be posting some progress pictures ASAP I have the right boom and wings together I have to build the cockpit and put it in the left boom before I can attach it to the wings. Then I will start on the tail wing between the booms and start filling all of the seams. I found an old intake from the engine of a 1/32 scale Me-262 in my parts box. I'm using it in the center between the booms and I used some parts from the Grievous fighter as the rear exhaust for the two engines. I also doubled the wheel attachments on the main landing gear I think it's going to look pretty good when I'm done. This is a sketch of what it will look like when finished.

Nice! And I'll bet Tophe will be very pleased!

Good to see you made it over from SMA my friend. Let the madness begin

I finally have a few progress pictures I changed the tail a bit I think it looks more in the style of the plane. I'm going to have to scribe new panel lines after I finish all of the filling and sanding but it's getting there.

I have made a little more progress on the dio I'm still filling and sanding all of the unwanted holes in the plane. I have also started on the figures and the hover truck. I have the pilot a maintenance guy and a robot that I made out of bits and pieces the truck is going to be a refueling truck. The diorama is going to have the figures in a group as if they were talking about what work needs to be done to the space fighter. I'll try to get a couple of pictures of the plane, truck and figures on the base tomorrow.

OK guys here is the basic layout of the diorama, excuse the cab on the truck it decided to pop out of position just before the pictures were taken. The pilot is leaning on the plane because he refuses to stand up until he gets glued down.

It looks great!  I feel like you need an R2 unit in the right fuselage

Thanks Logan actually I thought about doing that, I may still add an R2-D2 style robot to the right boom. I think it would look kinda cool.
