That MesserSpitWulfStang looks so very wrong and so very right at the same time! Lots of cognitive dissonance going on there! Nicely done! That three blade prop with the paddle blades from the 'Stang actually looks really, really good. I can just imagine the tubes of putty and the square feet of sandpaper he had to go through to blend it all together!

Nice kitbashing! I actually like the Mustang's ventral radiator arrangement a lot, keeps the wings clean.

Like it.

Does look good

Is that ever a cool mash up of parts ! Looks excellent. Defo an idea worth saving.

Zimmo over at Flugzeugforum saw this one recently:
(Reminds me of FAR148 profiles!)

I'll post the builder's name once I know it.

One I did a couple of years back ...

Actually at a club meeting years ago rather than a 'contest'.

Howabout Swedish splinter on a 1/40th production type Boeing F-32?

Charlie Sorenson was working on this several years back, he was a former Boeing modelshop guy, unfortunately he was taken away
by a virulent, fast-moving lung cancer, and yeah, he never smoked.

You can always rely on the junior class for some whiffs. In fact for the only whiffs in the whole show as far as I was aware.
Good work those young modellers, I shall be taking inspiration from these.

Seen at todays WINGS show at Moorabbin.

Nice ! The Swedish F-35 sure looks good as well. Glad I saw that one almost missed it !

Found these two beauties at the Butch O'Hare contest in Chicago last weekend:

WHIFs I found yesterday at our bimonthly modellers meeting in Hamburg:

Is this twin-boomer a turbojet-plane? or just unfinished propeller-plane?

I believe this is the Daimler Benz Project C which was intended to be a missile carrier

Me too. Decaling or masking that dorsal emblem must have been hell on wheels, even on the big 1/48 kit...
