Don't know if you remember him but you sure have a fine collection of vehicles for that guy...  Cool bananas!

thanks for the link

one more banana, maybe the last? this time it deserves its name fully :
I bought especially a 1/72 H_21 fying banana from HobbyCraft, and used the rotors and wheels here
(the rest is under use in another project to be seen soon  )

[Tophe]

It is amazing: the flying banana H-21 was actually a banana! a true one: red, normal!

[TheChronicOne]

Who knew the "Chi" in "Chinook" was actually from Chiquita banannas?!    (I know it's not a Chinook but then the crappy joke wouldn't have worked...  lol )

Quite glorious!  The Simians will be pleased, I'm sure.

thanks 


by the way I am of course not the first one ;-)







or even :



so I am doing quite normal stuff after all

Hmmm, what's that blue/grey thing in the background? It has VERY long wings...... 

It looks like a U-2 winged F-104.

bananas have a lot of potential : right now I am out of bananas now in my stash,
but who knows? maybe some time in the future?

Funny stuff ! Love seeing all the different takes. I like the Buccnana as well.

exploring possible declinations of an idea is fun in itself

in the series of propellers windmills hybrid animals,
I just had to try the push-pull twin-propeller :
the liliensternus seemed an appropriate candidate
for this peculiar evolutionary possibility :

[Tophe]

I thought the push-pull layout was an invention of the 20th century, but obviously Mother Nature created it millions of years ago...
