Duck monoplane & He70, yellow : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[NARSES2]

Really appealing!

It certainly is 

[ericr]

thanks a lot all !

Like a pointy nosed piston-engined Yak-25RV.

[ericr]

indeed ! 

thanks for the reference, I don't think I knew this one

It's a sort of Russian U-2, NATO code name Mandrake.

A Model does a 1/72 kit of one, which I have, naturally.

Love these, especially the Thunderbroke 

It's surprising how good some of these combos look despite how outrageously unlikely they are. You have a good eye, Ericr! 

If Republic had built the U2 (and then added piston engines).

I actually considered that for the Recce GB (minus the piston engines) but baulked at the prospect of siamesing the F-105 intakes into the U-2ish wing.

thanks ! this is exactly what I like to obtain 

this fifth out of five is a case showing that it is sometimes risky : I thought it would not look as good as the others (while still being of course  outrageously unlikely), because of the wings too big for the fuselage, but in the end it is quite ok to me 







plus : I like to make cycles, and this one it closes it as in a merry go-round

Today I rescued the remains of a rubber chicken from my dog.  She has chewed out the squeaker and eaten one leg but the head is intact and will be getting grafted onto the front of something from the stash as a homage to your vision Eric.

I have a few plans involving heads and legs of animals (and even humans ...) coming out soon

ok for me also: far "too big" for Real World is "perfectly weird" for Whif World

That one would have so much lift that it'd probably take off in less than a fuselage length!   

Twin Pioneer, eat your heart out!

[ericr]

very STOL !

Indeed but imagine the fuel it could carry ? 

I can see it being fitted with that top wing purely for operations in extremely hot and high conditions
