While both are not whifs, I guess the designs are radical enough to warrant a post here:

1/32 Pond Racer

1/32 Belyayev DB-LK

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Ooo...awfully tempting to get me one of those Pond Racer Kits he mentions.

That Belyayev DB-LK looks good.

Does anyone do a Pond in 1/72?

I've been wondering about how you'd morph one from existing kits but always end up realising that it'd end up a scrathbuild.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Could with some work use some drop tanks to build one or at least something similar for the Drop Tank GB

I don't get it... why are there side exhausts like on a turboprop, when there's no actual prop?  it doesn't make sense to me...

Bifucated jetpipe perhaps, as on the Hawker Sea Hawk?   However, they look far too small to carry the exhaust of a Jumo 004 or BMW 003.
