Nice shot of the Firebird

The world's only seven engined aircraft IIRC. That'll trigger a flurry of Google activity as people try and prove me wrong.......... 

Well, using the word "aircraft" in the widest possible sense, there was the Kalinin K-7 - six tractors and one pusher

How about this "beauty"?



On display at the "Minsk World theme park" in Shenzhen, PRC.

Just stumbled across this at Starship Modelers: a replica of the beautiful Bugatti 100p Air Racer goes on tour.

This one is from DARPA, an out fit that is always good for something off the wall.

Farewell to the RF-84 in Luftwaffe service...

Not the best applied paint scheme I've seen for sure, but it IS different!

[Dizzyfugu]

I'd love to see a color pic of this "thing".

And see faces of visitors when a model of this creation would be displayed at a show. "So crude, did a six-year-old build this thing?"...

Because, as we all know, all markings are applied with masking and spray guns 

[Madoc]

There has GOT to be a decal set for that RF-84 scheme!

[Captain Canada]

Some neat stuff there. Cheers !

This has given me an idea for a B-36 build.  RAF in Anti flash white but with one wingtip still in NMF and a figure with a paint roller on a stick and a tray - homage to Red Dwarf.

[PR19_Kit]

It'd need to be a BIG roller and tray for sure!
