Biplane Twin-Rafale

That looks seriously lethal Tophe, well done. 

The fact that it's a bi-plane isn't all that noticable in those views so it comes as a bit of s surprise when you realise that it is!

excellent concept!

the asymetry gives the spice 

and personally I like the monochrome finish, which underlines the shape of the thing.

No, this is not lethal: mine is civilian for tourism... (I am a dreamer)
For the biplane layout, it is obvious without flash, due to the shadow, but blurred on a photograph, sorry:

[Tophe]

Seen from front, the biplane layout is obvious too (as well as my poor skills, ahem)

Thanks ericr, you understand my point of view...

Tophe that's wonderfull  Yet more aeronautic sculpture

[Tophe]

Thanks.
Here is an improved view without flash to show the biplane wings:

Completely hat-stand Tophe, MARVELOUS indeed
Your mind must be like a nuclear reactor made from styrene 
Which of course is how it should be

This is Awesome,Tophe if you do Another Twin, how about making it an ASR(Air Sea Rescue) Scout,to Help with Spotting Vessels or People in Distress. Keep up the Superb Work Dan

I'm starting to wonder what effect that very close bi-plane structure would have on flying characteristic  ? In the days of Fly by Wire especially.

[Tophe]

Thanks for your comments and suggestions

[ericr]

some time ago I tried out a bi-plane Phantom, with a larger distance between the planes, more "classical" I guess 




I used a 1/144 Academy with the wings of a PM model announced at 1/96 : that way the upper wing is slighly larger, which adds a bit of plausibility I suppose

and the colour is ... red 

[Tophe]

Wonderful Phantom biplane, thanks for showing!

[NARSES2]

Yes a modernised "slip wing"

Now that's diferent ! Neat stuff Tophe. Love all that assymetric stuff you have going on with it
