Cheers,
As I don't have the kits to hand the width is closer to the Halifax or even the B-24 Liberator/Privateer.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

How about a twin tailed P-51 Mustang?  :rolleyes:

Why stop at two?  ;D



Well I think it would be cool to see a twin tailed P-51, Otherwise we can think of something else. And Right now I'm thinking about The Turbokat from swat kats right now

Not too sure if this was ever a "Real World idea" what about a B-52 AWACS?
The Russians had the Moss.
I don't have that in my stash but I do have the VEB Plasticart 1/100 Tu-20 also marketed as the Playmakers Playfix kit and the Tamiya 1/100 B-52F.
The wings could be swapped over B-54 style or V-tail added. Will put both kits in the long-term pile for now.Might try and find a suitable 1/144 AWACS or AEW kit.

Sounds very 'Dale Brown' EB-52 "Old Dog" - not that that's a bad thing, just don't forget the SST-style nose and the Butterfly Tail and the new Wing Box, thus negating the Anhedral/Droop...
Go on, it needs to be done... ;D  ;D :thumbsup:

I've seen other Whifferters' do the EB-52 'Old Dog', just thought I'd be a bit different that's all.

Old Wombat

Once I've finished the cars, which are my current project, I'll probably pull out a few stalled builds (HMBLT, RAM M41AS, etc.) & clear away some/all of them.

If the hatchback from the Dodge L Shellby model fits the rear of the Triumph TR8. Then its a go! 1/24 or 1/25 scale.
Having bought the July/August issue of JETS magazine and Aviation Archive- Flying boats of WWII the Short Sunderland with a pair of sponsons mounted either side of the fuselage to accommodate the main landing gear.

As a Harry Potter fan I've only seen two promotional aircraft. Not too sure if the decals are for sale, so I thought of creating my own.
Transfers can be bought online, and even produced BT the aid of a photocopier. Seen washable tattoos-non permanent and nail transfers.

Ideas/goals for the upcoming year. My plans:

First one is almost done. Posts #'s 99-101
http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,40258.90.html

Second project which I am currently working on will be slightly similar, but will feature a diorama of 3 different Aurora hypersonic plane model kits and a historical background page.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

I'm still trying to get the nerve to hack up a Dragon MiG-15 into a Luft-46, I guess the sticking point is the perception it's an expensive kit - although it didn't cost me that much, and apparently it's not that accurate. More than 12 months since I got the kit, let alone the initial idea.

An Airfix Ju-88 into something suitably weird.

Probably more as the inspiration strikes from viewing this site, but that's it for now...

I think I'm going to go that Luft '46 in my 46th year route. Just sounds like a neat idea !
