An EXCELLENT machine, really looks the part. 

[kerick]

This is awesome! I've got to load up on some P-38 kits!

[Tophe]

Marvellous! If I were general, I would buy 100,000 copies scale 1!

[zenrat]

Brilliant.
One could do similar with a Shinden and a P-38.

[ericr]

thanks all ! 

[Tophe]

I have been inspired by this mixing P-38 and J.21/Shinden, thanks!

Fabulous creation Eric! Worthy of Blohm & Voss ca. 1942. In fact if you removed some of the Lightning details, and told folks it was the B&V P 197 or whatever, you would create a real Internet myth!

Love the Su-24 tanker. This would have flown in the main attack squadron, to allow increased attack range without the need to involve anybody else. The technique is practised today and is known as "buddy" refueling. Dangerously real model, that one.

This one was faster because the tail was moved outside the wake of the pusher prop.

[Tophe]

Good! Thanks Steelpillow! And thanks again ericr for the inspiration!

[ericr]

thanks for your re-interpretations !

w.r.t. the Su-24 tanker : in between I learned that in Iran they are used for buddy refueling, so not completely whiff

Love the tri-motor 

For some reason I'm seeing it in Dutch markings ?

[ericr]

Fokker did a twin-boom pusher/puller, D.XXIII, but not trimotor
