Interesting in game footage, of 105 Sqn Highball equipped Mosquito B.IVs going up against a warship.  Okay, it has some flaws (the glaring one I picked out is the windscreen being the flat bulletproof fighter one as opposed to the V bomber windscreen) but interesting as 105 was proposed to get Highball after Bomber Command threw their toys out of the pram over 305 (Polish) sqn being planned to get Highball.  Can't have Jerzei Foreigner using our secret weapon.


Still, nice bit of fun.

Rezna P.II hovertank by Johnathan Campbell, done as a challenge to build a what if using ONLY what was in a Tamiya Panzer.II box. He ended up using strips of the box cardboard, the parts bag and the staples! There are more sci-fi what-if on his blog page.

First shot from that cannon and it would spin like a top!
Great imagination!

I think it's supposed to be recoilless.

What I want to know is how it elevates...

They'd tilt the whole vehicle, like the S-tank.

That's cool and very Star Wars in its design...very neat build 👌 😀
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Nice.   :thumbsup:

When building to "Out Of Box" rules for a model show entry i've used the plastic bag the parts came in.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It's a hovertank, so it'd be easy, they just pump up one end or the other to suit.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Hey, that's my little hovertank. I had a lot of fun building it. I didn't put too much thought into how it would raise it's gun, other than as a hovertank, it would bob up and down on the front or back to shoot.

I did several of these. It's fun to limit yourself to one kit to use for kit-bashing.

These really give the imagination a workout.
I saw a website for a guy that built spaceships from airliners or ships. He would turn them upside down and front to back. Makes it harder to recognize the origin of the build.
