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

[ericr]

thanks! you encourage me to do a bottle or two more 

in the meantime, here a a few  more hybrids,  all in blue ...

dolphin-based :

with a Saaski's wings (Dujin 1/72)





with an Ar 196 fuselage (Airfix 1/72)





plus a little shell, with a PZL-11 :

Dear ericr, I encourage you to go on! (building/inventing/enjoying, not drinking alcoholic poison...)

[ericr]

don't worry, some of the bottle also contained soda 

[ericr]

do you remeber this ?

sometime ago you had an idea which got into my mind : the Book-Airplane :

and I liked so much that I had to try it out : using an Airfix Ar196, and a Clairefontaine notebook, cut to the shape of the wings :




it could have been featured in a Tophe-inspired group build!   

I thought it worthwhile to continue the exploration with another, high-wing example, using a Do-27 :

next one might be a delta 

and here comes the delta-winged Su-21G, in red :

[PR19_Kit]

A supersonic notebook, whatever next! 

[ericr]

A supersonic notebook, whatever next! 

sky is the limit 

or ...

errr ...

space?

yes! a space shuttle notebook !
you are tempting me into eternal whiffin', PR19_Kit

[steelpillow]

How about a couple of underwing pencils for the SU-21?

[ericr]

a bit like this ?



or like that ?



or even like this here ?



that would make this note book more autonomous indeed, good idea! let me see what I can do ...

[Gondor]

Now that is sharp

[ericr]

sharpness can be managed before take-off 

[Tophe]

I don't like military loads but I love your loads, ericr!

[steelpillow]

But a true multi-role aircraft must include both pencil and paper, surely.

Mind you, a book-wing formating with a pencil-armed craft would give skywriting a whole new meaning!

apparently I forgot to show you this when I did it, so I put it here as well, in addition to the pictures shown in another thread

with one or two more here ;-)

an authentic "charentaise", the very traditional french slipper (preferrably worn with a moustache and a basque hat)

two new small hybrids (especially the Kingfisher, 1/350 ...)









(I still have the wings of the small kingfisher ... ... )
