Hmmmm very interesting Rafa. I really like your camo paintjobs. I know Tophe will love your zwillig effect. Hmmm first a Gannet so sweet it puts Leigh in a coma of delight and now one for Tophe...

Impressive!

Hello, Brian!!! I'm glad you liked it. The lil' monster gave me hell because it fell from the bench, er, from my hands, really.

I hope the remains are to your liking.

Dear Rafa,
Your Yak-480 is not only a Zwilling twin-fuselage, this is an asymmetric plane. Double double pleasure!      
( ^_^ Question: where do the fins come from? and the engines, the tailplanes etc. - if this is not secret... )

[Rafael]

Hola Tophe! Double thanks to our resident expert at swillings and asimmetric aircraft!!. I had the feeling you would like it.

The long, thin engine in front of the Gustav is half an F-4 drop tank i had lying around, cut to make a scratchbuilt with sort of "supersonic blades" shapes made out of platicard.

The engine square "exhaust" is a parachute vertical fin housing from an F-16

The second, smaller propeller was the radar cone of a MiG-21 nose in the same situation, it begged cutting, so cut i did.

The zwilling fuselage is a small, dolphin shaped child toothbrush

The bulge on the right side rear of the fuselage is half the gustav's own drop tank.

The squarish shape on the opposite side is a piece from a Milan 1/35 launcher, i think.

The vertical fins are shapes i cut and glued to give them an airfoil shape.

That Horizontal plane and strut are Plasticard.

The ventral winglet comes from an F-16

The exhaust on top of the second engine is an air ramsscoop from the same Gustav.

The round black thing on top the center span is a hair dye bottle cap thrown away by the missus.

And the center Wing Span is a rectangle of Cardboard (Cardboard, Yum!!!), rolled and filled with white glue and tissue paper, wich dry gives the paper strenght to shape an airfoil, but it has a sprue lenght inside the leading edge, in order to get a solid "connect" between the two fuselages.

The weapons pylons are plasticard and a coupla pylons from said F-16.

The gun is a 1/35 DSHK cut to fit an improvised pylon

The pilot is an invention of mine, i needed pilots badly and i cast them in silicon gasket maker paste, on a plaster mould.

That about makes up for all the build.

It was funny as hell and tragic, too because at the time to primer the thing, it fell to the floor and had to rebuild it!!!

Espero les guste, I hope you like it!!!

PD. Oh! and the spare Markings com form the box of an Italeri KA-50 yet unbuilt, the only Russian flags i had!!!

[Tophe]

That about makes up for all the build.

How simple art is...

Espero les guste, I hope you like it!!!

You know, Rafa : I don't like it , I love it...  

[Rafael]

Thank you very much!!!

Rafa.

[B777LR]

Rafa, your threads are the most funny on this forum! If you didnt feed the canadians so often, the forum would never be so fun!

[Rafael]

Thanks for your appreciation B777LR, if it weren't for this forum my hobby would have been a forgotten activity. I really like it here with you guys,and your good-natured jibbering. Fun is what this site is all about, despite there being with us some serious, world calss modelers wich i bet, have the fun of their lives posting with us.

[Jschmus]

Ay caramba!

I hope I said that right.

[Rafael]

Yes, Jschmus!!! You just increased your spanish vocabulary, and passed with flying (no pun intended) colours!!!!

I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as i did making this mutha!!!
Thanks amigo!!

Rafa.
