I would have almost gone with twin 30mm cannon similar to on the Do-335B2

Congratulations, Rafael, another masterpiece...

That is freakin brilliant Rafa

Awesome - I'd struggle to make ONE part of that!

SinUnNombre · November 27, 2008, 10:02:58 AM

That's awesome, Rafa! Great work. And let me get this straight, you have foam, wood, plastic, resin, filler putty, and even a little piece of metal paper clip??? That's what I call ingenuity. IT's beyond multimedia....it's like.....hypermedia. Please tell me you're making the tires for the landing gear from real rubber...

.....not to mention a mix of talc and withe glue to make some kind of "mud" to seal the foam from the attack of the putty. And cardboard (Yum!!!) for the canopy frames.

The cannon installation Greg mentions is great, but I chose to use this arrangement because of who the end user of this plane is.....

Thanks, my friends. You really make my spirits soar. I haven't been able to sit at the workbench save for a few shortspans of time this week, and that is to fashion two multiple missile launcher tubes.

More to come...

Rafa, I'm sure glad you share your projects here, they are truly wonderful! I am envious of your ability to scratchbuild what ever you want and make it look good.

Brilliant!

What the-----wait, huh----how'd you do that, again?

You have always been, and always will be, the Master Chef of Whiffery, Rafa.

I picture you listening to Perez Prado's faster Mambo music while whipping these concoctions together like a Chef in the kitchen!!!

NICE

Rafael · November 29, 2008, 06:14:52 PM

Thanks, my friends!!!

Barry!!!! Good to see you!!! That image of me dancing Perez Prado's "Mambo No. 5" while making a model sure brought a good laugh.

Well, here she is, painted in a hurriedly improvised splinter scheme and awaiting her decals and warloads.

Saludos,

Rafa
