P-39...Oh this is going to hurt!...FINISHED!...with back history as well.

[Zeke]

Ha ha...yes indeed it's going to be a jet...and it's something of a dilema at the moment as to whether or not it should be a turb-prop...can't really decide at the moment...never mind, plenty of time for that kind of butchery later on...

[ElectrikBlue]

I vote for pure jet!

I really don't think there's going to be a prop when he's done butching up this baby.  He's gutted the empennage, he's sliced the blades off the spinner, the way it looks screams jet conversion.  He's even removed the wings, perhaps he's going to sweep them a little for further jet conversion.

BTW - I love the narrative style.

Looks interesting.  Recycling at it's finest.

[Zeke]

Daddy! That tickles...what are you doing?

I'm filing down your wing-tips of course...now jusat hold still a bit longer...



Hmmm...I may have to do a bit more parts removal...a quick...SNAP!

Ouch!

Sorry about that...bet you can't feel a thing now? And a bit more milliput to get rid of those pesky holes...



There, starting to take shape now.

BTW - I love the narrative style.

Personally I would have preffered a 2001 Hal-Dave style :p

Zeke. 


Zeke. 


What are you doing Zeke? 


Zeke?


I wouldn't advise that Zeke

Just wait till he paints overall glossy sea blue - he's got loads left over after that Trumpy Bearcat

(did I mention you got the colour wrong on the fuselage band ?...... I didn't....... Oops, my bad !)

[noxioux]

Ouch!  I'm just finishing one of these OOB, and this is breaking my heart

Ian, after that Bearcat I'm never touching Glossy Sea Blue again!...
As for the fuselage band...didn't you realise it was a 'What-if?'...I dunno, there's no pleasing some people...

(how's the filler going?)

anyway...back to the Butchery...ahem...I mean, careful and well thought out surgery...

Now then Little P-39...here are some of the bits that I'm going to graft onto you...whaddya think?

Daddy, I think you've gone a little bit mad...you're scaring me now...whimper...



Oh now there's nothing to be frightened of...just a bit of filler to help things along...



Eeeew that's all wet and squidgy!

[B777LR]

Is it a racer?

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

What the F_ _ _  , you just don't do subtle, do ya, Steve ! - So you wanna come up to Formby and finsih that A-J for me ?

Ian

[Zeke]

What you on about?...Subtle is my middle name!...

I did a bit more this afternoon, so I'll drop the naff commentary (no, Daddy please...) and just show you the images...and no B787...it ain't no racer...

Jet pipe modifications in place...



and  suitably sliced and diced drop tank will do for the intakes...

[B777LR]

Its a JET! Or a TURBOPROP!

[BlackOps]

The new additions are lookin' good! 

[sotoolslinger]

That's some gooooood plastic slashin right there
