More pics can be found HERE.





Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Very nice, would look better in US Marines markings ;), but still a very nice build.

Thanks for the link, explaining this surprising twin-boomer is "rebuilt as a caricature"... Funny! :thumbsup: :lol:

Of course but doesn't everything?  ;D

Really a neat build!

That one is ok but I prefer the version first seen at the 2010 US Nats.

That's the DOUGLAS Model 1186C, definitely.

I was just quoting the original post from ARC.  I thought it looked like a Douglas product, but the builder put it down as Convair.

Dan Swiersz has permitted me to repost the original ARC article on his magnificent scratchbuilt 1/48th scale Douglas Model 1186-C Long Range Special Attack Aircraft at RetroMechanix.com:



The article has been reworked with additional photos and commentary on the actual Douglas Model 1186-C LRSA study. Check it out—with a length of ~26 inches, it's truly a large and impressive model!

A new one, this time a Lavi:

If I understand correctly, it was converted from an original display model with F-16 kit parts added for detail.

This one's subtle, especially if you're not familiar with the subject matter.  Macedonian MiG-21:
