Martin-Baker M.B. 12 "gun fighter" 1938 (Great Britain). Heavy Hunter (project).


That looks so bizarre it's wonderful!  :thumbsup:

I can't help feeling the description lost something in the translation though..........  ;D ;)

It's not an MB12 though is it --- it's a Martin Baker 12-gun fighter. It's interesting the thoughts of MB on yaw control at the time, tall flat sided fuselage with a rudder on the end. The MB2 started off like that too, in the end by the time the MB5 came around it still had the tall flat sided fuselage but also the biggest fin of all the WWII single engine fighters.

The text states it's a derivative of the MB.2 & the box top says it's a "Martin Baker 12 GUN FIGHTER" (their cap's), failing to place a hyphen between 12 & GUN.

The text-title looks like someone got carried away with their MB's &, again, forgot the hyphen between 12 & gun.

The text is the result of someone translating from English into Ukrainian for their info (& not quite getting it right), then being computer translated back from Ukrainian into English.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I'm seeing F-100 nose intake, F-102 cockpit, T-33/P-80 ventral intakes, F-15 wings, and F-104 tail.  Anyone here make this?  anyone?  Beuhler?

Looks like someone took all their leftover parts, put them in a big box and shook it up! Nice photoshop work!
