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

[ericr]

thanks you all very much !

the original 1/43 diecast had nice details which I was happy to keep, which was possible because the fit was simply very *natural* 
and even the red colour of the car fit well with my usual Humbrol 019 red gloss enamel

Skyvan?

Skyvan?

You just made my day. It's a bit long to be a "Short" one though.

Skyfourgonnette !

Skyfourgonnette ! 

Maybe our English-speaking friends do not understand this word, but as I am French-speaking I love this "anglicisme" (the genuine French word being "Fourgonnette volante"=flying skyvan or "Fourgonnette du ciel"=skyvan of the sky)...

It makes perfect sense to me. 

There's a baker here who does his deliveries in a RenaultCitroenPeugot van thing which has 'Fourgonne' written on the back doors in big chrome letters.

C'est magnifique!!.......and, I suppose, a "van rouge"

nothing flying this time, but a hybrid indeed with a party blower :

A direct hit would definitely "blow" up the enemy!

A wind-up clockwork one would be the perfect filler for a Christmas cracker.
Better still, a boxful of crackers with different colours in so you can line them up and blow each other away.

Funny caricature of a military machine. How do you say in English the (French) sound "Tuuuuut !"?

Toooot? 

[ericr]

thanks all !

there is a slight trick actually : the rolled and the extended ones are two different ones I can fit on the tank : there is no air supply   

[PR19_Kit]

You could have installed a clear plastic tube leading into the bottom of the tank, up through the turret and thence to the 'gun'. Then just blow into the tube when you felt the need for a 'toot'.
