I like this one:


He frequntly posts new ones at deviantart, too. Recently, there's been a variety of Gloster Meteors, many of which seem to be "real".

Its a Jeep...In a Box!

Now, if only our Humvees came that way.

Its also not a whif

My uncle told a story about those boxes. When his troopship got to where ever it was going and was unloaded a couple of them were empty

I remember the ads that ran in Popular Mechanics magazine and other such pubs that promised information on government auctions were you could buy a brand new jeep in a box.  Those ads ran for years.

Eminently doable I should think...

Three engined, tractor/2x pusher Colonial P-40 thingies? 

[kerick]

I've seen a model of some thing very much like this recently, on this forum I think. Wish I could remember who it was!

[RussC]

This one looks a lot like some of the 3D pixel pushing displayed over on DeviantArt.

But I usually see all of those, this might be a newcomer.

[PR19_Kit]

The two pusher props must be VERY small to avoid hitting each other! Or are they displaced fore and aft so they don't? Even so they'd be darned inefficient with the prop discs overlapping.

Having said that it does look pretty sharp.

Three engined, tractor/2x pusher Colonial P-40 thingies? 

really 3 engined? It looks like just one engine buried behind the cockpit. Does it actually have a prop on the nose? There doesnt appear to be one...

I guess that the 2 props in the tail are geared to a single drive and have been set 60 deg out of phase so that the blades intermesh...

[perttime]

There's a spinner in the nose, so there's probably an engine too.

Looks like the rear engines are mounted on their sides (if that makes any sense).

[Caveman]

I see what looks a bit like a spinner but no props or exhausts in the nose, unlike the row of exhausts coming out of the sides of the aircraft behind the cockpit and the two sets of blurred prop blades in the tail.

What makes you think that the engines are going to be mounted on their sides?

Does anyone have a link to the original site? Are there anymore like these?

The exhausts that I see are pointing UP, not to the side as they usually are with conventionally mounted engines.

The "spinner-looking" thing in the nose is the only evidence I have that there is an engine in the nose... except that SOMETHING roughly the size of an engine is taking up space there. Maybe the artist forgot to draw props (   ). The front engine could have turbochargers with the ducting running inside the cowl.

I snagged it off of a friend's FB page that she had uploaded off of her mobile. So I have no clue
