A delightful kit to build OOB, to boot. 

Yup, still got one or two in the stash, so I'll definately be building one more
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I know this is a long time post that I'm responding to: These designs are really nice and I think some of them could make useful line-drawings.

What are these?



I assume the one on the right is an XP-40Q with a Griffon, what's the one on the left?


What's the one on the far left (green, contra-rotating props, and podded guns)


This was some kind of Hawker Hurricane successor right?


This looks like an Avro Vulcan coupled to the nose of a B-47: Is it based on anything else?



Westland Witch Mk. II
I would have never thought this would have been based on the Novo Wallace and Spirit of St. Louis: It looked kind of like a P-51 with a redesigned nose and engine, with wing-tip tanks.



Bristol 138A / Hawker Typhoon
I really like this design as it looks like it's an actually plausible aircraft though it'd look cooler without retractible gears.




I'm curious if I'd have to ask permission from any of the designers before I could proceed to ask members here to make drawings
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

The Vulcan has a Tornado cockpit grafted into it IIRC. The Flying Wing at the top is a Horten design built in Argentina after WW2, late 1950's?, think it was called the Ia38 and built by DINFIA?

The aircraft you identified as having been an XP-40Q is sitting with two other former XP-40Q's. Not sure of the story behind the camouflaged version but the gaudy painted one is an unlimited racer built by JayBee and the Royal Navy version is built by myself.

Gondor's FAA P-40Q gave us a good chuckle at that years Glasgow show, when an older gentleman was explaining to his (I assume) grandson "I used to work on Seafires just like that"  :rolleyes:

It's amazing how different the RAF and FAA models look simply due to a paint-job.

I'd have never guessed that one.

Thanks...

Nothing that says something old can't be cool (or can't be an inspiration).

I've done some looking and I've identified this to be a Hawker P.1027




Everybody

What of these?



(The green one on the bottom with contra-props has my interest)

The green contra-prop is a Blohm Und Voss P.163.02, it's in the Luftwaffe Secret Projects:Ground Attack and Special Purpose Aircraft book from Ian Allan/Midland Publishing.

Kendra, the red beastie looks to be F6F wings, tail and tailplanes on a cut down Swordfish? Wellesley? fuselage.  :blink:

There are some cracking builds there, well done to all.

I wasn't suggesting that they weren't cool or non-inspirational, just that they were four years old.....

Longer.  They're from 2010.  The two Hawkers went that year and that year alone - it's been Spitfires ever since.

How would you tease apart the Swordfish or the Wellesley?  Neither have that pipe sticking out the side...

I think that "pipe" is an exhaust. My first thought was Wellesley, purely based on the shape of the nose aft of the engine.

I'm excited for this year's SMW, if only because Airfix has teased a "BIG announcement". Surely it's the 1/24 TSR.2 we've all been hanging out for?
