Wow! A DC-707???!! :wub: :thumbsup:
(if civilian, I mean)
This is like "the missing link I was hoping to discover someday" (without being conscious of what was missing in the world)... Thank you so much! ;D
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Took me a good few seconds of staring at a perfectly good aeroplane before I could figure out the whiff. Congratulations Eric.
Cheers.

- 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.

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

I'm sorely tempted to build one just like that, finish it in an RW airline scheme and see what the Airliner SIG makes of it at Telford!  ;D ;D ;) ;)
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! :)

thanks all !

the concept might be tried in 1/144 as well of course  ;)

I mean :
a 1/144 B707 instead of 1/72 with a 1/96 C-47 instead of 1/48 (if the latter exists ...)
or
a 1/72 C-47 with a 1/108 B707  (if the latter exists ...)

the reciprocal : maybe slightly less believable, but well, it had to be tried, by symmetry  ;)








Tophe

This new one is wonderful also! :wub: as missing link between old-style and modern! :thumbsup:

I don't like this bad word "believable"... :-\ :angry: ;D
I believe in dreams... ;)
Isn't it what is written on our banknotes here? : "In Dream we trust!" ;D

Wonderful undercarriage combo. Clearly designed to carry something heavy.

This was the US consortium's submission to the EU to carry all its Parliamentary papers between Brussels and Strasbourg for each sitting. The Dakota-style fuselage was included as a reference to the Berlin Airlift, in an emotive appeal to transatlantic solidarity. The plan was ultimately rejected because it would show up the late-running fiasco of the Parliamentary Records Digitisation programme (RPO - Registres Parliamentaires a l'Ordinateur). It was even suggested that the "taildragger" configuration was a sly reference to the RPO dragging its tail and the McDonnell-Douglas-Boeing consortium replied that on the contrary, it expressed the EU's vision that the RPO would one day take off and fly, you must remember the news headlines!  :wacko:
Cheers.

Tut, tut Mr Pillow  ;) ;D ;D

That is marvellous although perhaps it needs some form of undercarriage under the wing tips ? They look mighty close to the ground

I had the same thought.  Although as it got rolling they would flex upwards as lift was generated.
