Simple, but with a certain charm?

A USMC Corsair II is a brilliant idea! Lotsa cool camo and squadron options there!  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Yes. It's not a whif.
I don't know about the colour, but I think it's a real car, there should also be a die-cast model of it.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

It is: the Hélica, designed a century ago by Marcel Leyat:





"The design of this strange vehicle went against all the principles of auto construction at the time, because Hélica didn't have a gearbox, a driving system, or a drive wheel! This revolutionary prop-driven car was very light, simple, cheap to run, and fast. Its performance was amazing: it could do over 60 mph and weighed less than 300 kilos with two passengers.

In 1927, a Hélica with low-slung bodywork achieved speeds of 106 mph on the Montlhéry circuit.

Marcel Leyat was an extraordinary man, an engineer with a philosophical bent who had a very varied career, working for example on prototype planes and patenting a revolutionary method for learning musical scales! He built 23 Hélica's between 1913 and 1926."

It kind of deserves being considered a near-whiff : sometimes RW nearly gets to It.

It would grind up any pedestrians that got in the way! Maybe at least put the prop in the back.

It may just be the photo but there appears to be some kind of mesh in front of the prop.

Do you seriously think that this mesh would add to pedestrian safety...?  ;)
