Now that I like, a LOT! 

'King' Richard is coming to the Goodwood  Festival of Speed this year, complete with Superbird. 

Somehow I can't think that even he will get the best out of the 'bird on 'The Hill' though!

Turbine car is gorgeous.  You rarely see them built let alone modified.

Space Battleship Bismark II is pretty cool although IMO it could do with more close in defences.

Figured you'd like it.

To my amazement I found I still have an un-built JoHan Chrysler Turbine Car kit in The Loft!

To my amazement I found I still have an un-built JoHan Chrysler Turbine Car kit in The Loft!  

I have one of the second releases (a "blue box" version).  They are the only kit i've ever unpacked where it was obvious that the designers considered how the sprues were going to fit into the box.  Each frame has locating pins & holes and they fill the box exactly.  I unpack it every so often just for the sheer joy of packing it back up again.  It's almost going to be a shame to build it but build it I will.

Yes, JoHan did that with many of their kits, it's very clever, but probably expensive so the greedy accountants elsewhere nixed the idea. I have a  Buick Special Wagon of theirs which has the same arrangement, no chance of bits being knocked off the sprue by other sprues.

Couple of beauties there ! Love the turbine car but that Bismarck is just wicked....love the saucer !

So that's how those Nazis got to their moon base! Clever devils!

[FAR148]

PAK DA bomber

[DogfighterZen]

That Sukhoi is a nice idea.

[Captain Canada]

That does look pretty cool. 

[su27rules]

Nice Platypus T-50UB!!

Found this whiffed He100 racer.

Looks better than the original: Contra-rotating props make almost any plane look better.


FAR148

I gotta say, the Gripen really does look good in JASDF colors...

Personally, I prefer this one...

Tophe

and at http://www.strijdbewijs.nl/birds/spitfire/secret/spitproject.htm tandem wing Spitfire, twin Spitfire, etc.

Was there ever a real proposal for a twin-spit?

i just found this awesome looking ARII 1/144 RA-5C Vigilante, made by our own SentinelChicken

Grey paint really makes the Vigi look good...


Cliffy B

Found this guy over on Deviant Art and wow!  He'd fit in perfectly over here 

Hey, why not invite him over?

Great drawing.

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:

Looks great and is similar to a concept I thought up a long time ago.

Do you have a tail-gun on it?


Stargazer2006

I love flying wings and BWB airliner concepts.

Looks like it'd make a great B-52 rival.  I don't think that aft engine is really needed though


MilitaryAircraft101

Might not be a WHIF but I'd have to say that it's frakking beautiful regardless.


Caveman

Great photomanip: You really have to look carefully to see indications of editing.

He's also made a number of fantastic models (and diorama's which are spectacularly realistic) including the following

Arado Ar E.580: A Voksjager contender

Blohm und Voss BV P.208

Heinkel He P.1078C


Aircav

Found this J 36 Räven while looking for some Do27 pics. 

I really like that design -- looks good and functional.


Hobbes

You're going to love these guys:  http://flyingthingz.com/

they'll sell you a kit to build this:


And yes, it'll actualy fly (RC)

I could imagine that would give the neighbors a WTF moment...


perttime

The design on the right looks pretty cool -- not that I'm particularly happy to see the Iranians with it...


CANSO

Found this nice illustration today.

I'm glad we didn't build this... I doubt we'd have been able to hit anything with this; if the pilot didn't part ways, it'd be suicide, and if he did: It's likely he'd have been shot up by nearby aircraft or ships out of spite.

Some very nice "dark future/dark past" pictures by the Slovak artist Rado Javor here:

Very Douhetian...

An album by Goila Cristian - don't think it's been featured here yet:

http://www.coroflot.com/gc2010/aircraft-design-2a1I like the canarded version best on that page, even more than the version you put up (which is fantastically gorgeous).


Gondor

Not a Whiff, more of a WTF !

Tell me about it!  I've heard of shoe-string budgets, but I've never seen a duct-tape battleship.

[Dizzyfugu]

Stumbled across this Mi-6 project... could be easily realized with the 1:100 VEB Plasticart kits for the Mi-6 and maybe an An-24?



And then there's this RC whif  :
