What's the wording on the paper beneath it?
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

The 10 engined B-17 zwillig was a bold enough concept. It didn't need the C-47 mistel on top!

Oh my good glod... that is rather on the awesome side. I'm desperately trying to think of any WW2 airfield which could handle such a monster!
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

Love that the modeller went as far as to add further nacelles to each nose!   :thumbsup:

You could always try a straight section of any motorway/autobahn/interstate that was available I suppose...  :wacko:

OMG is right!  Sheeh.

I had two thoughts when I saw that.

1) Why was the C-47 having carnal relations with the B-17Z? <grin>

2) I hope somebody trains those radiomen in the B-17 right, or they gonna bag themselves some C-47 wing panels.

While I understand where you're coming from Wooks, no need to dampen the enthusiasm of those who may find this subject inspiring.

It's good but....  Cliff on a stick, I am utterly bored with Zwillings.  I was bored with them at least 5 years ago when everyone and his wife were doing them and they bore me to tears now. 

Does no-one ever think about why these types were created in the first place instead of just sticking bits together?

Oh bother, lots of the time I just start building and figure out why later.
Of course, I never do anything quite so elaborate as this. This seems to be more of "How ridiculous can I zwilling+mistel" than anything practical. I'd say the shark has been well and truly jumped.
