But tophe, it's "symmetric"!!!

Tophe · February 24, 2013, 03:35:19 AM

I was ready to apologize shamefully, when... I looked again at my model and... I am so bad a modeller that the tailplane is not orthogonal to the longitudinal axis but bent asymmetrically...

PR19_Kit · February 24, 2013, 06:33:05 AM

You could always cut one half of the tailplane off Tophe..............

Tophe · February 25, 2013, 06:02:21 PM

I would not, I am so talented modeller, ahem $:-\$ Well, the first drop of paint (on the underside) broke the tailplane away, without willing it

It looks kinda like a Skyhawk from underneath !

The modeling Muse is with you my friend ... !!!

Tophe · February 26, 2013, 03:57:28 AM

Thank you, Father...

Captain, you made me dream of installing a second cockpit underneath, for a tailsitter...

You are right Martin, this would be quite a different Mustang...

this MB-51E looks good!
it would have been a goog option.

The upper side is painted, I will see if a second layer is necessary:

Put some big eyes on instead of those windows, and you've got a character in the next "Cars" movie!

Yes, I painted the canopy for that, this time: not all black but a head with eyes... I will try.
Thanks Pyro-manic

I've decided it is symmetric at last. Sorry. $:-\$

Other views

The eyes look is shy and fearful (I tried)

ericr · February 28, 2013, 02:33:45 AM

good look!

the combination is great and original!

the eyes make me think indeed of the Disney Planes movie which should be a Cars, but for Planes ...

This is a great build Tophe, it may be symmetrical but I like it!
