Will be sort of Autogyro

[Librarian]

Found a photo in one of my son's books of a mad looking Lysander with twin tails and a turret...got me thinking :



I think she's going to be an Autogryo floatplane (is it possible?)



Not too happy with the position of the horizontal stabilisers at the back. Could be airflow interference from the twin float supports in the centre 



Anyway, its all good, clean fun... Still some filling and sanding to go I see from these photos.

Somehow reminds me of the autogyro from the anime "Lupin III - Castle Cagliostro"?

Only found these views from promo pics:




Nice work, it looks great!

[Librarian]

Well spotted! I have to watch that again ; I know my son really liked it...Amazon, expect a visit. Why is FilmFour so +rap now?

[Dizzyfugu]

Your design just looked so familar to me - a couple of weeks ago I was lucky to see the movie in original (with subtitles, though) in a small local cinema, during a German-Japanese intercultural week.

  Great! Is this a pusher?

[Librarian]

Yes, a pusher but will also have a rotor like a Cierva. It's in competition with the earlier Asymetric P-38 as an aggresive recon machine, hence the weird designs .

[Tophe]

In French language, I count this weird machine as "bipoutre" (two-boom) because 2 bodies are holding the tail... I will try to draw a P-38 this way, vertically twin-boom. Thanks again!

Yes.It's called Hydrogyro - Avro-Cierva C.12, 1929.

And a modern French design.

Or a Russian autogyro with floats (interchangeable):

Here's some progress shots:





Run out of paint so have to wait now 'til Sunday.

Dear Librarian, you are now twice part of the P-38 'History', see at the end of http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/#Sit  
PS. Congratulations for this model too...

What a cool-lookin' beast!  Truly awesome!

To use a word that is not normally in my vocabulary "Awesome" 

That just screams Italy 1930's to me  Beautifull

Great looking design.    How many kit parts were used for it so far?

[Rheged]

VERY  impressive.  From DeLanne Lysander to deranged hydro-autogyro  in one step.
