Biplane Twin-Rafale

[Tophe]

After the cancellation of my biplane F-86Z 1/144th, I have turned to a similar Twin-Rafale with the Revell cheap kit.
This one is available immediately, I should receive it next week but I would put the parcel under the Christmas tree, not starting the building in advance.

With that amount of lift you should have some SERIOUS load carrying ability there Tophe!

Now just make it carrier capable

Oh that is just so Tophe 

[Tophe]

Back in my serious years, I have read that a huge wing area, a small wing loading, is very good for:
- manoeuvrability, dogfight
- low landing speed, carrier ability
This seems almost serious...

[Go4fun]

That is just so good. Four wings, two cockpits, flown by committee!

I'd love to see the faces of the carrier crewman when this thing makes its first flyby/trap.  
"OK we'll be testing a new model of the Rafale today people."  
"Oh boy another Rafale....WTF is that???!!!"  

[Tophe]

Oh that is just so Tophe 

Ahem, to be fully Tophy, it needs a touch of asymetry...:

That is just so good. Four wings, two cockpits, flown by committee! 

The perfect European Union aircraft

Weird , wih a capital WE!! . Love it though! Wonder who'll be first to put knife to plastic!

[Tophe]

I plan to do it with a saw after Christmas...

[Tophe]

Santa-Claus did check the parcel from the dwarf-factory and put a present paper around it. Next step on December 25th...

[Tophe]

Today, Christmas, I got the kits, and it is small and cute. The wings are separate parts and there will be little to cut out. I will work on it at night.

[Tophe]

The parts I will use. PSR on the central line will not be easy...

This is gonna be gooooood!!!
