Aircraft of the PDRV - zenrat's flying circus

[zenrat]

No, the other 2 cannon have gone to make way for the gatling ammo.

[zenrat]

Since the incident where the concrete floor leapt up and hit it i've had to reinforce the float mounts with an extra strut.

You just CANNOT trust these floors, concrete ones especially. They need to be constantly kept in their place, I stamp on mine quite a lot..... 

I obviously need to stamp more as it's happened again.
It waited until I was distracted putting decals on this time.

[zenrat]

Starboard float came off completely and one of the mountings on the port one cracked.
Nothing a few drops of glue and a lick of paint won't fix.

[Captain Canada]

Love that idea !

[zenrat]

The Yak is painted and decaled.

[Captain Canada]

That does look great ! Nice colour combo for sure.

[zenrat]

Fairing in the Gatling on the 262 is coming along.



...and the DartStang is ready for some paint.

[zenrat]

Some progress.
The Dartstang has now been painted and awaits decals and the finishing touches like prop, undercarriage, weapons load, canopy etc.
The second Sky Pirate plane (a Kawanishi N1k1) is painted and decaled.
PSR on the Me262 continues.
PSR and construction of the gun mount on the Moskito continues and I have scratchbuilt pontoons.
Work on an OOB Sci Fi/Anime build is almost complete.
Work on a kit bashed pre war pursuit plane has commenced combining Airfix and matchbox parts.
Dizzy's 6 legged walking tank has inspired me to dig out my 4 legged Bren Gun Carrier project.
Plus work on other RW stuff and Hot Rod/Custom cars and drag racers.
Maybe I should focus on one thing at a time?...



...nah.  My brain don't work that way.

...nah.  My brain don't work that way.

Yup I tried that. Didn't work for me either 

[zenrat]

Well, having finished the Space Battleship Yamato i'm close to finishing another couple.
The  Sky Pirate N1K1 just awaits an antenna wire and having hung some rockeyes on the Dartstang all that needs is a little wash here and there and the canopy fitting.
The 262 now has wings, the Moskito has pontoons and what I have decided to call the Gully Galah has emerged from its last PSR cycle and is in undercoat (it's PDRV navy so it'll be white underneath like the Yak 15).
Now, what to start next?
I've chopped up a spare Mig 29 to provide parts for a number of projects but I fancy doing something large for a change.
So, it'll be a Heyford Whiff, Sea Shepard Lanc or Scooby Doo Boxcar...

...although a Whiffed Lockheed Salmon is tempting me...

[Captain Canada]

That DartStang looks pretty wild ! Nice one.

[zenrat]

You haven't seen the paint job yet!
I'll just say it's delicious...

I've decided to get stuck into a Heyford.  I'm going to build this.

I'll endeavour to post WIP pics with this one.

[dumaniac]

I love the gattling gun approach - great concept

[zenrat]

OK, took my camera down to the shed so here are some WIP pics.
Me 262


Gully Gu-16 Galah


Moskito Gunboatplane


And i've started the Heyford - wings everywhere!

[Captain Canada]

Oh goodness I'm getting excited by what I'm seeing here now ! Look at that gunboat !

How many engines does the Heyford have ?
