Genious, might have to buy a revell Beluga and build that some day  :lol:

You know you want to Nils!  :drink:

That Beluga Carrier is wonderfully, fantastically, brilliantly mental!  :bow:
I wonder if that could work on a 1/144 Boeing 747?

Can't even begin to wonder how you'd build those tiny fighters inside...

Surely you know about Boeing's Microfighter concept?

I may have found that site while looking further into the Ca183bis Russ. Was it this one?

[Later] I found this 3 view of the Ca183bis on a French language forum, but can't read any of the text.  :banghead:



Web site was here :-

Hello, If you allow me I can translate for you:
Post stated that is is a Caproni Ca.183 bis, High altitude interceptor project dated on 1942.
Hybrid engines configuration: 1 Daimler-Benz DB.605 (1250 hp) with contra rotating props on the front and a small Fiat A.30 (radial enginel) 700 hp driving a compressor acting like a jet-engine (same principle as Caproni-Campini CC-2). expected top speed 740 km/h , equipped with four 20mm guns in the wings with 30 mm cannon installed in the DB 605.

  That's just tons of fun, airborne equivalent of the Piat Gun...  ;D ;D ;D ;D

  Seriously, despite some liberties taken, this is an exciting picture - and that exhaust plume is graphically superb.

Interesting.  Opening the forward hatch in flight would be difficult.   You'd need something to boost the smaller aircraft out the front as well.  Apart from the minor technical details it is an exciting picture.

VTOL A-10 ! Nice find Steve and doable I would of thought for some of you jet fiends ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Being a VTOL buff and a Hog lover, I should have come up with that VTOL A-10 a long time ago... Great stuff, anyway!!  :thumbsup:

Makes me want to try my own version of the concept...  :rolleyes:
