XF-858 Triplex-Goblin?

[Tophe]

After I finished the P-51Ab, and while the Black Spider is on the way, I take other models, to get legs for the spider. I still have 20 kits to build, and I want to decrease strongly this number, quickly. So I take 3 of them now: XF-85, XF-85, XF-85!
I think I bought the Eurokit 1/72 resin kit when I wanted to add a modern little barrel-plane to my Polikarpov I-15 and I-16. And, having forgotten this box, I bought 2 MPM 1/72 plastic kits wanting to make a couple: normal ugly & thinned beauty. Now, I think I will build these 3 into one triplex fuselage airplane.
The first idea was this ("à la P-38"): central streamlined one, jet-less, lateral normal ones with jets.

Here is the aspect inside. Alas 3 thermoformed canopies...
I guess the solid almost finished (resin) fuselage&wings will become the central part, not easy to thin. So I will have on the port windtip a plastic thinned one, on the straboard windtip a normal plastic one, the whole being strongly asymmetric which I adore...

All you need now Tophe is the triple B-36 (B-108?) to carry it!

A triple B-36 1/72??!!! I lack room tremendously for such a giant...

Before hard truncating and much puty/sanding:

What an evil thought, GOOD FUN, but evil.

So not so much a Wobblin' Goblin as a Triplin' Goblin eh? I'd love to see the backstory for this one!

Of course it does beg the question 'Who else but Tophe would have THREE Goblin kits anyway?'

Intriguing idea...Looking forward to more of this one, Monsieur.

Waiting,   great and   curious

[Tophe]

Starting to truncate the streamlined fuselage, the result was so funny (like a mouth-open fish), I did the same on the opposite fuselage. So the triplex-fuselage will be Ugly-Normal-Pretty... Hehehe!

following

[Stargazer]

1°) I've always loved the Goblin
2°) I've always loved crazy whif ideas
3°) Tophe is downright crazy

Three excellent reasons to follow this new project carefully!!

Taking shape... (my lack of skills with thermoformed canopies has been handled with puty and sanding)

Tophe madness at its best!!!
