What is the single best What If model YOU'VE ever built?

[John Howling Mouse]

Regardless of what anyone else thought or whether it was fashionable for its time or even realistically feasible, what do you think was the one What If model you consider your personal best to date?

Please post a pic or five and perhaps a brief description; possibly a link to the original What If build thread if you can.

Thanks!

Don't be shy...

P.S. I'm not starting with my own because that would seem kinda self-aggrandizing.

For me, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

hmmm






















hmmm


















hmmmmmmm













Hmmmm










I think it will have to be either my Italian A-37, or KZ-V

Hmmm...a single favorite you say?

Tough to pick one that is my personla favorite. 

If I had to pick just one it would probably be my ESCI Fokker F.27 built as an RAF Guardian AC.1 gunship.

Other contenders for favorite spot would be:
USAF F-13 Raven (Blackbird whif)
RAF Hunter F.14
IDF Cherev (AV-8B whif)
RAF Tornado FG.5 (straight wing Tornado)

Well, I'm still pretty new to all this "What If" business, but I'd say my personal favorite(s) would be:

1. AV-22

or maybe this one

2. AV-1 (??)

My two favorites are:

My USAF AU-1 COIN aircraft from Vietnam



And my USCM FV-9



I have yet to post picks of my Hawk...

Well my Nottingham for sure is the best so far, but my centerline thrust one follows close behind

[Shasper]

Havent finished it yet. . . . but both are F-20 based

Sure, puncture my over inflated ego by making me pick only one. But after much deliberation I picked the Rayador, a Boeing 727 turned into an ekranoplan. Believe it or not, no illegal drugs were involved in the creation of this perversion.

[Scooterman]

I honestly have a hard time picking between these two.  Depends on what mood I'm in!

I'd have to say that my best WHIFF model is my A-7F.  I started with a Matchbox A-7D, did the conversion and scratchbuilt a full cockpit and wheel wells. It won a few awards at some of the contests around here.



I have a few more pictures in this thread.

My actual best what-if is not an aircraft but a diorama with tanks:

[upnorth]

My Italian Komet is still my favorite. Not most creative but a nice example of how a simple difference of paint job and markings can change the whole look of a plane. I built it from Academy's 1/72 Komet (a highly recommended gem of a kit) and used decals from Airfix's ancient Fiat G.50 kit.

I`m afraid I have two. The first because of it`s simplicity





And the second for all the opposite reasons

I don't think I've built it yet, so for now I think it's my Gloster Mercury

Pure Whiff or a Project as most of mine tend to be cancelled projects rather than pure fantasy Whifs ?
