Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

[McColm]

There seems to be a trend on this site to convert jet fighters/bombers to turbo prop. Well done Glen.

Frigate Bird...been there, done that!
I did think of Jaeger, but it sounded too German for my liking....then again, I could put it in West German Marine markings.......I'll think about!
Glenn

Storm Petrel could work, especially in Dk Sea Grey and Sky finish......yes!

[Stargazer]

What about the Gloster Tern? Just a thought.

[McColm]

or Doc Foster!!

[Glenn]

Sorry, 'Doc Foster'...I don't get that?

Today, a Grumman F4F9 Martlet of the Royal Navy. If you look closely at her, you will notice the she now is a nose wheel aircraft and has two half tanks, one each side of the lower fuselage, to extend her range.



Model :Monogram 1/48 F4F Wildcat.

Concur!   A fascinating aircraft.

Did it have a cropped prop to save it from leaving unseemly gouges in the carrier deck?

The Sea-Fury being a 1944 plane (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Sea_Fury ), may I include this marvelous Twin-Sea-Fury in my topic about 1939-45-designed zwillings?

I included it today at http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,20326.1020.html with a huge delay (my FTP-Expert software is in a jam for weeks and at last I used the free FileZilla)

When Bellanca released the Cruisemaster in the early 1950's it was suggested that a 'twin' could be designed as well. Well, five were built, the prototype and four production models.....this is one of them!

Model : Herka (?) 1/100 model for railway airfield.

If you remember the yellow sailplane and the twin light aircraft I built, and then butchered the sailplane to the 'Pink Passion', well...this is 'the twin light'!

[Stargazer]

Really love that Bellanca twin!!!

[Glenn]

This is the wing you never saw in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". This is the original design...with the five engine.

Scale:1/48

Construction ;Scratch built

[Tophe]

Great! Thanks a lot Glenn!

[NARSES2]

Nice flying wing Glen, especially with the "odd" engine arrangement

[Glenn]

I'd hate to have had to leave it in a hurry.....say, in flight!

With jettisonable propellers: no problem
