LCM & sails, red : hybrid aircraft/animals e.a.

[jcf]

I've got that Skymaster laying in to back of a drawer all busted up waiting for a resurrection. This is a brilliant idea I'll have investigate further. I don't have the helicopter parts so this would require a rummage through the spares.

Abrams had a couple of unbuilt designs that were to have cylindrical pressurized fuselages.
The P-3 was for a military aircraft, the PC-4 was to be a high-altitude civil survey aircraft.

The dome noses are cool. 
A similar fuselage under the Skymaster wings would be fun.

Very cool Eric. 

The Abrams has long been a favourite.   

Another machine with a similar fwd fuselage was the Pitcairn PA-44/XO-61.

Thanks jon, I did not know the PC-4. To be even more whif, I am countering the torque of the single propeller. But this is not easy in plastic.

Glad you like it Tophe.
BTW the images on Secret Projects were posted by me. 
I scanned them from an issue of Skyways magazine and
they're original Abrams drawings.

What that really needs Eric is a single float.

[ericr]

 

ah I just used a 1/48 Kyofu float for something else !

[Tophe]

Good teasing, we are trying to imagine what new whif marvel will have this single float
