Inspired by Picasso. The side views are even weirder

Alternativa has always been a great collection of what-ifs. And one could sense them to be Russians living in Ukraine; never saw them talking against the Soviets. Which might have been because of machine translation.

Give them a couple of years and all your tractors will be there.

If you don't want your stuff appear over there just call them. Book writers or serious researchers and they will still respect copyright issues.

Was minding my own business when I noticed this "attack Cutlass" which somehow adds to the "design rationality". Currently the last post over there.

Which clearly led me to search for propeller Cutlass. Leading to a yet another alternate history forum. I don't how much value people would put to it but most of the illustrations are new to me. With the additional thread where they take many from this place.

His name ran a few ding dongs in my noggin and when I saw his boat car it clicked..this gent knows how to build seriously cool cars even tho it looks like Mater built this one 😀
My absolute favorite of his builds is the Tetanus..I'd very happily own that and while I'm at it..the 3000GT Capri I'd happily nick aswell 😊

There was a real twin-turboprop proposal, with props in booms that extended in the fins' position forward and a narrowed fuselage. Highly attractive aircraft, but converting a "real" Cutlass into this configuration requires massive body work.

And yet, still well within your capabilities... 
Now the only question is, do you want one enough?

Sounds interesting tho!

Well, I wouldn't mention it if it did not attract me enough to consider a build. But it might take a lot of courage and mojo to tackle it...

My favourite is the Volvo Amazon ragtop - the original Rainbow Chaser with the rockabilly artwork embroidered into the rear seat cushion.  So cool.  I remember seeing it in Street Machine (UK version) way back when.  I had the centre spread up on my bedroom wall for a while.

Have we seen this?


Seen on BTS.

edit:
the thing behind it looks familiar.

Another lookalike form of one of my builds: a Spitfire FR.47 posing as a SAAB J27, based on the kitbashed model I did of this aircraft project many moons ago. Again, a faithful livery copy (and, as a novelty, with a source reference!):

Not yet, but a cool idea. The "thing in the background" is, IIRC a true model kit (from Japan or South Korea), not a kitbash/scratch creation!

A B-wing P-38 mash up 
I like 👍

Also our own Madhatter has posted his build of this subject: https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51107.0

Apparently the same creator who did "my" J27 as a late Spitfire was inspired by two more model, too, the J19 (a res-skinned A6M3) and the J23 (a Pyörremyrsky in disguise):
