deliciously astonishing indeed!  <_<

and the painting scheme is not the least weird, with the black cutting off a roundel?  :o

Delicious, I will try drawing it
Is this simplified sketch acceptable? or wrong?

Oh yes, and wow :wub:! She actually looks flyable (almost). Tophe, you're going to love the next project :rolleyes:.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That's great - in a bonkers kind of way.... ;) :thumbsup:

One of these years I'm going to do something like that but with another engine on the back of the cockpit pod.

What a brilliant concept and masterfully executed! :bow:

Very nice ! Neat idea too. I liked the original float combo better, but I guess this way makes more sense.

Great job !

Haven't really committed myself to anything new since the return from Hols but I really wanted to upgrade this rather unique aircraft. I didn't like the colour scheme, mission plan, original vertical tail and angle of floats. The nose section has been replaced with the part for the droopsnoot, tail replaced, floats re-angled and colour scheme changed. New contraprop for better stability etc:



Putting some serious thought into doing the same with a Mustang...the wing roots present quite a challenge ;D.

Hi Tophe. Many thanks. Do you have any drawings for an asymmetric P-51. I need some inspiration.

Tophe

Our friend ericr built a genius asymmetric float-Mustang. I may check where it is on this site. And I made several asymmetric Mustang drawings. Most is on my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/Suite_Mustangs_V.htm
