Er, real world whifs?

[Old Wombat]

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

Nah, just a standard one, with the airman painting himself into the wingtip.

Nah, punishment duty with a brush  Me and a mate had to clean our school outside pool once as a punishment. Very kindly they'd emptied it for the winter first

Does not really qualify as a whif, but certainly bears potential for dioramas and conversions:





This DIY rocket launcher was built in Iraq.

[NARSES2]

Clandestine rocket launcher ?

[Old Wombat]

A Q-truck?

Clandestine rocket launcher ?

Not the first time.  When my old Army Guard unit relieved 701st Main Support Battalion (1ID), they told us that the POIs adapted ice-filled pipes with nails at the bottom as time delay mortars.

That's both neat and scary !

I'm guessing there was a false floor in the tipper body and i'm wondering if they would be "professional" enough to put a cut out in the firing circuit to prevent triggering with the body down?

Now that this has been revealed, I guess the Air Force would nail any dump truck they see now just out of principle  -----

That's neat ! Looks like she's nosed in a few times

Technically it's not a whif, but IMHO worth posting as an inspiration - a kind of steampunked 2VC, a Kelly TW (Three Wheeler):

Steampunked? Not really, more in line with with the wood bodied
'skiffs' of the '20s.

Now that is pretty cool - almost enough to make me forget how much I dislike the 2CV... almost.
