Blackburn Scythe

Pablo1965 · February 03, 2012, 02:00:41 PM

Well, finally I finished and dubbed this abomination, as Blackburn Scythe. I could have called curtiss .. something, but that would be very easy. I would like to draw attention to the four Fuel bunkering, and the detail of its tail that is the real reason and inspiration for having done it. Hope you like and enjoy these images, and above all, taking into account their origin, in this link:

Wonderful, the nose looks French, the tail German and the cockpit American, did the League Of Nations designe her?

Wow, that is one ugly looking aircraft, nothing Spitfire`ish here...............

........... yet, it is so well done, I have nothing but praise for it. Great build.

Congratulations for this finished one!

I had forgotten the long story of http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,33762.0.html , sorry... Now, this model is standing proudly as one of my favourites. Thanks to have shot a profile photograph, this will ease my drawings of Mustangized derivatives.

Now that is just lovely, and it certainly looks like a Blackburn project! You wouldn't have worked for their design department, would you?

Thank you all for your kind comments, they make me feel it was worth finish this model. Your response to the questions you can see at the source here:
http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,33762.0.html The PSR link.
I am glad that you all caught the spirit of this plane, it is as if he had shown to my whiffers family.
Thanks again.
I had forgotten to put this photo, you can see the flaps in three sections.

Yep, that definately has something of the Blackburn about it!

Excellent project and heroic PSR Pablon - well done!

Great job.

Reminds me of one of those 1940 RAF emergency fighters converted from a trainer-type things.

Yeah, Like the Martlet or Martinet. Thanks Harps.

Thanks Pablo to have inspired me Mustang derivatives (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,4461.720.html ).
Well, the Scythe was so complicated to build, it seems very impossible to build a second one, anyway I have imagined a Twin-Scythe...:
