re: a four-engined Mossie--I did that in 1/72 scale years back, basically using a 1/48 Mossie fuselage with 1/72 Lanc wings:


As for the ten-engined Lanc, how in the world would that wing be able to support all those heavy engines so far out on the wing?? Nice "visual" whiff, though, but not well-engineered aeronautically!

A Zweilling?

Nice Mossie! 

On the ten-engined Lanc, I don't think it'd struggle at all in the air: having the weight spread along the wing actually reduced stress on the spars because it reduces the bending moment at the root, and there's plenty of wing outboard of the outermost engine to hold it up. On the ground, it depends entirely on the undercarriage arrangement. If it's only got wheels under the inner engines, then yep, fair point. I'd suggest that it would need main u/c under at least engines 1 and 3 on each wing, and that raises some interesting ground-handing issues on WWII airfields....

Am I correct in thinking that the Lincoln, being larger than the Lancaster used side tracking rollers to slide the aircraft into the hangers they were stored in. So could the 10 engined machine be maneuvered in the same way?

Referring back to the painting of the 10 engined Lancaster project, that artwork certainly looks similar to the art of John Dell. Any thoughts folks?

The peasants demand more photos

The peasants demand more photos

so do the intellectuals !! 

[dumaniac]

long wings - 10 donks - I would not worry about the wings and weight - show me the fuel tank!!

it must have a range of 20 km

but a great whif - maybe I could make a He111-Y - the 10 engined bomber -

must admit I have made some plans for a 4 engined He 111 in 48 scale - but this is   ....   well ........

Stunning!

Seriously nice stuff, the wings are awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

Agreed

Strewth, that guys got some talent!

And however BIG is that United wingliner? The SM55 behind it isn't a small model, and the wingliner dwarfs it!

[MilitaryAircraft101]

Does that bloke like flying wings by any chance...  Very cool models!

[McColm]

Wow!!

[philp]

The airliner is 1/288th, the other with it is a diecast.

Looked at the rest of his stuff, mostly 1/144th.

Also, invite sent.
