Little Nellie

Little Nellie was a Benson Gyrocopter (or Autogyro or Gyroplane, whatever you choose to call that type of aircraft) not a helicopter...

[Tophe]

Weird!
I was puzzled, seeing something familiar but not recognizing the P-38 pod (thanks for the title explaining)

[kerick]

After reading the subject I thought it might be an OH-6 fuselage mounted on a P-38 in place of the cockpit pod. Maybe thaw in the future?

Very good Eric.

"Little Nellie" is a Wallis WA-116 not a Bensen.

Fokker did a twin-boom pusher/puller, D.XXIII, but not trimotor 

It is crying out for two more engines, though.

I have been inspired by the P-38/OH-6A mix, thanks Ericr!

The 4-engined Fokker D.XXIII may come to life soon... thanks steelpillow.

Here is the modern (fast) Fokker D-23 IV (with powerful Daimler-Benz engines moreover):

Yeah, I realized that after logging out and couldn't be bothered logging back in to fix it. IIRC Wallis Gyro's were styled on if not direct copies of Bensen's anyhow...

thanks a lot Tophe for your elaborations !
I am often inspired by your ideas, I am happy mine can inspire you

closing the loop of this 3-kit-bash :









in the absence of room for weight, I had to use a clear support to avoid tail-sitting

Marvellous ancestor of the Edgley Optica!
