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

[Tophe]

The red one looks almost normal. 

I think it is not a normal P-51 Mustang but a half P-82 (half-twin-Mustang).
It is not the very first one ever, as a plastic scale model, but this is very rare, not "normal"

just for the looks of it :







(the landing gear comes from a KB29)

[Tophe]

Good one, once more!

[NARSES2]

Oh, that's nice 

[zenrat]

Very good,  And it's giving me ideas about some of the bigger kits in my stash which might benefit from being tricycled.

[ericr]

thanks 

as a whiffing game, tricycling reveals itself as nearly as good as floatplanizing

[DogfighterZen]

I like that one, too. Great thinking!

But more subtle.  More likely to fool people.

[ericr]

right.

like this for example ?

Take the turret off and you've got  Martin 1-0-1 airliner.

Which I thought of ages ago, but you've actually DONE it!

Thats great Eric.

Put that in a show and people would be looking at it scratching their heads and trying to remember if the "real" Baltimore was a trike or a tail dragger.

Got any Hampdens in your stash?
