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

[zenrat]

That is just flippin' awesome.
You've outdone yourself once again.

[ericr]

thanks! I am particularly sensitive to your appreciation, given your inspiration and skills.

The 2cv is a red repainting of a die-cast, with opening hood and doors, so I had to adjust the wings so that doors could still open.

Thanks for your help so we can fully appreciate: there is a great amount of engineering in this compound aircraft!

you may remember the P38 interpretation as a Cerberus I made earlier :

Here is a kind of reverse experiment : a Cerberus with three PZL7 heads :

Haw... I am so frightened by this Cerberus dog/wolf/plane that I will refuse going to its Hell...

[Captain Canada]

Very cool ! Love the Lightning especially. The other one needs eyeballs or it will just make a mess of the hedges it's trimming lol

Yo' cain't escape Hell. If you try, Cerberus will make mincemeat outta ya!

Cyberus?

[ericr]

actually, the cerberus is shown at rest :
normally there are three pilots seated in the cockpits, looking at what's happening

Saint Exupery was the author who wrote "Le Petit Prince", and he made drawings too ;
he disappeared in a P38 in 1944.
This hybrid mixes a P38 with pencils :

yet another hybrid, more animal this time :

a 1/144 shuttle and a whale :

I just something curiously similar here :
