Ahah, THAT kind of Seamew.  :o

I thought it was going to be one of these.....

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

thanks all! I am particularly touched, because as I said, the building is a bit sketchy (but a draft of much potential  ;D)

Kit, considering the other Seamew is certainly inspiring, esthetically  :wacko: but I didn't have a kit at hand

AFAIK there is only one kit of a Short Seamew and it's a Magna resin kit, not so easy to find these days.

that Seamew can certainly lead to shocking Whiffs, given its provoking original look  ;D
If I ever find a cheap one somewhere ...

another relatie oldie, which I think I didn't post yet :

done with a shuttle fuselage with wheels probably from a 1/48 big plane (B-29?) :

Golden cousins, one Air/Sea (Gloster VI) - the other Land (Segrave Napier), both powered by the Napier Lion W12 engine.
Note how the Land vehicle looks like an aircraft.  ;D



Profil24 kits in 1/24, I have the Segrave Napier Golden Arrow car model, very nice kit.

very beautiful indeed! I am especially sensitive to the seaplane  ;D I didn't know that brand exists, it looks high quality stuff.

And the car is just stunning indeed!

My experiments are much more modest, skillwise, but if my ideas inspired a virtuoso I would be just happy.

That cow is hilarious. Gas powered as well.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Oh, poor planet... Ecologists have yelled: "cows' farts gas are releasing more CO2 than all automobiles and aircraft together", this requires curation, not even more farts up to above the clouds, please... (for the Planet) ;)

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Not so much a whif or an animal, but if I made all the monetary decisions around here I might make a bad one with this  :thumbsup:

very lovely!
If you own land wide enough to go cruising around on the snow, then it can be a refreshing investment
