Lavochkin La-5 three wheeled car

[AXU]

Hi all 
I really like the concept and I want to see what will come of it .
For this project I will use the 1/72 La-5 kit from Revell,Gaz-67 wheels from 1/35 Parc Models kit,various components from other models for suspensions and,of course,some scratch .
I will begin construction soon,for now,some pics to give you an idea .

Awesome!

Will this be a racer or have some military application?

Yeah, like this, very much up there with PW's creation based on the Junk Tank Rock Talon.  I do like that grille, great stuff.

Will definitely be a racer !

I must admit,when I saw that model I thought ''waaaaw I have to do something like this''.
Once I saw the same concept with a Messerschmitt Bf-109 and something similar on this forum with FW-190 http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,31208.msg479849.html#msg479849

That grille is actually cut from a tea strainer  .I think a bit out of scale but looks ok anyway

I love this sort of stuff.
One day i'll have to have a go at building one.
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

ive been planning on doing something along the lines of this for over a year since i found the artwork.............picked up a 1/48 Me kit, got a scrap 1/24 race car for the running gear.........................just got to get round to doing it  ......too many projects, not enough time

Hmm I see at least half a dozen MOT test failures on this beast.  I like it

There's only one problem with ww2 fighter fuselage-style car designs, and that's the scale. They should be built 1/1 scale because they'd simply be totally awesome to actually drive around in..
But as the next best thing the scale model concept is great! I say you got a green light!

Thanks for your thoughts guys
