That looks NOTHING like either of its components, well done indeed!  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Looks very good! It almost looks like some weird FW-190 variant. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

a similar exercise, in 1/72, with a Zero  (stash reduction  ;) ) and a spare optional engine from a Ju188

Yup, i agree with Flyer, this one looks even better on the ground with that gear layout. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I agree that the front wheel more forwards feels more comfortable of course,
but whiffing is adventurous, hence sometimes not too cosy ;D

so, the BV222 flying boat with B52 wings was shown there :

and the reciprocal was an obvious thing to try :
and sometimes those systematic schemes lead to something slightly more strange than expected.
In this case, it looks a bit like an ekranoplan ?

Very nice. I trust the guns in the wing turrets don't fire directly forwards.  :o
Cheers.

Great work,  I wonder if the wings from a B-36 would fit?

ericr


thanks  ;)

I guess B36 wings would fit "even" better
