This is the Tiger from Band of Brothers....but it doesn't really look like a Tiger! Maybe it's because my body isn't high enough....just can't work it out?

Back in the 1970's I bought a COMET flying model of a Curtiss JN-4 'Jenny'. I never make them as flying models, I like to detail them. The model is 1/20 sc and the pilot is a resin model of the pilot of a SeaQuest 'Stinger'
Long way to go.....but it should be fun.

Tank looks good! BoB is a favorite of mine.... it's a classic "go-to" ..... if all else fails finding something to watch, it never hurts to start BoB.

Battle of Britain ? lol

Yes, the tank does look good !

Never fails when I use abbreviations, I should know better by now!

Maybe you could turn it into a monoplane (without struts), that would be easier...

The camera ship is moving to the rear of the Valiant in every shot......
Forgot to mention, the only kit parts are the undercarriage. The tailwheel, I can't remember...but the mains are from a P-51B

Very good...

The M-41 version of the Stug 111 G from Band of Brothers......finished!
I've finished all the German Armour from this fab series, and am now working on the M-7 from ATTACK.

Forgive me but, this is not really a What If Model........
Maybe I can help... turning it into a what-if zwilling, yes? (I don't use Photoshop but Corel Photopaint, similar)

You have not answered Glenn, but I try anyway: here is the Twin-Valiant version, fully what-if...

Band of Brothers Tiger with turret to the rear.

Looks good Tophe.....but who'd teach who?
Glenn

Hey Tophe.....try it as a floatplane.

Captain Canada · February 23, 2019, 07:39:23 PM

I can feel my screen rumbling from that low flying Valiant shot

I think, on a 4-seat trainer, there are 3 pupils and 1 teacher.
For making it a floatplane, it is far less easy: I just "worked" with Copy & Paste from a single picture, and no float is included from your source. I know our friend Stargazer used to make such great mixes from different photographs found on the Web, but there are at least 3 problems: the angle of view must be the same, the blurring/precision level must be the same, the copyright laws are frightening... Sorry I think this floatplane will not be made by myself, but congratulations again to your model!

Wish I`d seen this thread earlier as I spent 9 months working on the set of Band of Brothers, got quite a few photo`s knocking about especially the german vehicles that were all built on T-34 chassis IIRC.

After the awards show tonight I`ll see if I can dig them out for you, but so far they all look right from memory.
