Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

[Glenn]

Sorry, never thought of them.....but yes, I remember now, thanks guys!

Glenn (the dummy)

[NARSES2]

That's come out well Glenn

[Glenn]

Do you mean, "Glenn the dummy"?

Today we're back with the SM 55X with it's wing almost ready for sanding and bogging. It's going to take a while.....but as I'm on a pension, I'm not going anywhere!
Glenn

Oh yeah, 1/48sc.

[Captain Canada]

Love that little jet ! Looks great in those colours.

Nice! An undeservedly neglected aircraft (and one of my favourites)!
Even the 1/96 Glencoe reissue of the ancient ITC isn't easy to find.
Are you using balsa wood for the wings?

[JayBee]

Now, I know this is a Wren model...and actually...the best of them I've ever built! But what it is, has me stumped!
It is either a Shorts or a Handley Page experimental aircraft but can't find the kit box to be sure.

Very reminiscent of the Boulton Paul P111A.

That is indeed what it is, even the serial is correct.

Big and great! Congratulations!

[Glenn]

Yeah, the 55X is made from balsa but the wing spars are brass tubing. I believe in strength!

This started off as a KP Siebel 204 in 1/72 scale....and with a little tweeking you can turn it into a 1/48 four seater of Czech design. I didn't do the canopy in clear, as I can't and didn't think it mattered as once finished, only a handful would see it.

The tail and tailplane are next, then the hard bit....the engines!

[Tophe]

This harmonious rare silhouette , with "integrated canopy", makes me dream of similar Mustangs. I will draw them, thanks!

EDIT: done at http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,4461.msg650628.html#msg650628 thanks again!

[NARSES2]

I've got the Delta2 kit of the SM 55 but I've never had an inkling of what to do with it other then real world

[PR19_Kit]

I've got one too.

Perhaps we should combine them to make an SM110 and REALLY blow Tophe's mind?

Italian anti-ship? Should get at least four-six torpedo's between the hulls...

That would be real world, sorry! 
One of the first uses was as a military torpedo bomber. And there were studies about transporting small assault boats.
What about a PorcoRosso version? Someone,  I think JC Carbonel. has done one.

[Glenn]

and now for something completely different.........as Flash, Dale and Prof. Zarkov fly to Mongo searching for Prince Precious.....oh, sorry..wrong movie!

The ship is 1/48sc and is built around the Revell 1/32 Bell X-1.
