bizarre french fighter

[John Howling Mouse]

Bizarre enough to become a Sci-Fi subject.  Imagine it with alternative propulsion and different markings...

 

[anthonyp]

...  what the hell am I looking at?

It's like Lippisch somehow snuck into France, got absolutely bombed on Cognac, and started doodling.

I am bizarrly drawn to it...

[BlackOps]

It begs to be built with jet engines!  Very different, very cool

[cthulhu77]

Was it able to shoot at the 109's because the German pilots were laughing too hard?

Now I know where Kurt Tank got his Inspiration for the Huck!

It looks like something from the Anime Nausica Of the Valley Of the Wind!

[Jschmus]

I LIKE IT!  It does have a very "anime" feel to it, but I wouldn't mind seeing it in Star Wars paint, fending off pirates from some Outer Rim world.

This fighter is so ugly... How many paper-planes draw the French before WWII? 2000?  

[PanzerWulff]

It sort of has the feel of the "Goblin" parasite fighter Verry Cool indeed

[Aircav]

Reminds me of a fish, I want one

I'll put it this way... My 5 year old standing behind me just said "Look Daddy, Pokemon, is that Pokemon Daddy?"

Neat little thing that. I think something like that needs to be in 32nd scale though.

Cheers guys,

Jay

Curse you Igor Shestakov!  Curse you!

My wallet weeps with the very mention of your name!



Seriously though, this is yet another one of Igor's bits that I just _have_ to get.  The thing looks so weird, so ungainly, and so truly, truly 1930's French that it'd be impossible _not_ to have one.

And I think it'd look right smart parked next to the D.520, MS 406 and the VG-33.  It'd especially make a great counter-point to something so plain and conventional as a Me-109!

Of course, Igor's got too many damn interesting birds to be had.  That Convair XP-92 is something I've wanted since I first caught wind of it in that issue of Aerospace Projects Review from a few years back.

Oh, well, more kits to add to the "must buy it now" list.

Am I the only one who thinks its ugly and DOESN'T want one?
