Ha!  Crazy enough it's got to be built!

I mentioned some time ago of scaloramaring Pegasus Hobby's 1/18 V-1 into an airship.  Despite the kits size, it would only be a relatively small airship in anything larger than 1/350.  Two side by side might make a good basis for airship aircraft carrier in 1/700.  Not sure if it counts as it's turning it into something completely different.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

An obvious one for WWII Allied bombers ... no power turrets, open or teardrop covered positions only. 

Oh and fixed, spatted gear of course. ;D

The idea of pusher Vampire/Venom got me thinking.

How about a early jet with wing root intakes and mounting an engine and prop amidships a-la the Daimler Benz Jager project ?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Sea Venom or Vampire with a pusher prop instead of the jet.

Something tells me that's been done, but nothing against doing it again!
It would look a lot like Tophe's avatar.
