Aint they neat?? Took me a second to realize but they're both different birds!

Literal "egg planes." If I ever decorate eggs again this will be how I do it.

They're Russian, of COURSE they do.

Yeah, dude! That's what I was thinking.... they actually did some nice work and put in some effort on those! I sure wouldn't let any kids have 'em or anyone crack them open. lol

Hot off the press... dude just replied to a comment of mine about "whif" with his build.

Howard Markel: " I hear ya 'bout "what if"s. They can be lots of fun and stretch ones imagination.
Here's a1//48 Modelcraft F-82 modified into an Unlimited Gold class Reno Racer.
The kit is I'll fitting and would have required lots of filler, sanding. Figured why not go nuts and apply a bit of hot rod to it.
Researched the mods done with the P-51 racers and applied to twin fuselage."

This looks very cool - also the livery. IIRC there was even a twin fuselage design for a racer/record breaker in the Eighties. Not certain if it was a Rutan design, I remember that it even had slightly forward-swept wings and was much smaller/lighter than a Mustang- but the overall layout was similar. Very cool - and colorful - build.

Pondracer. Didn't it also crash?

Dizzyfugu · May 12, 2017, 02:19:41 AM

Yes, the Pondracer!

Absolutely

I'd say it was stupendous but there's something about the prop's that doesn't sit right with me for some reason ?

Yes, the same impression I had. It looks like the left fuselage (the one with the cockpit) propeller has the blades leading edge backward. (I don't know how to explain better, sorry )
