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

[Tophe]

I began a series of 2cv hybrids, with different kinds of aircraft : monoplane high wing or low wing, biplane, twin-boom, twin-motor, jet
here is the first one, a 1/43 2cv with a 1/72 Saab 21 (both Heller)

The first one of the series is the very best it seems: impossible to make better, no, impossible!

Amazing,  I want to build one!

thanks !

please do! the fit is nice, and you can try another kind of livery

one of the 5 diecast 1/32 (? I guess) 2cv

(I bought the lot just to make shipping costs more optimized when buyig something else : you know what I mean, that's how you get a stash full of things you don't need, and didn't actually want ... but at some point it pops up again conveniently enough after all  tell me I am not the only one please  )


hybridized with the Alf floatplane from which came the yellow catapult I showed recently

  Lovely also! (for us in 2016, seeing a 2cv as old-style... while this would have been a shame in 1948, seeing a 2cv as very modern...)

Ahh, but that is a 'modern' 2CV. The original is so much simlpler.

it is a "modern" 2cv, with the square front lights, but still it is previous-century modernity

now a monoplane, with the Revell 1/72 Hurricane :







(but I just forgot to paint the rear wheel tyre black)

Nice!! My sister-in-law had one of those, lots of fun! It bounces around so much we called it frog. 
If it had wings, it could become airborne in one of it's jumps off road bumps...

Yep, years ago I used to tool around in an early '64 with suicide doors. 'Twas always an interesting experience on a US freeway.

I like the Saab 21 version the most. I do wish there was an injection-moulded Dunne biplane around - a tailless swept 2cv biplane would be a blast.

[ericr]

thanks all !

driving a 2cv is indeed an experience : it feels actuallt quite close to flying

and I maybe should have the Saab21 for the end, as it is probably the most spectacular ...
but more others are coming

and now to the jet age, with a Mig-15 UTI (ok, the twin seat aspect is not quite visible here)







(the red reacted a bit with the background : uneasy to do a primer on a dark colored preassembled diecast)

Well, i see a 4 man crew in that... maybe that's how they though of the EA-6B... And then looked at a school bus for the EA-6C...
