B737 relief transport

I like the look of that, nice thinking. 

And now for a low wing Hercules!

Being a 737 fan, I really like the look of this one !

If you copy and paste the last link on the PB site ( the IMG one ) it will post the photos right to your thread, instead of having to open another browser window.

If you were to turn the engines up side down.......

Exactly, like they did on the Orion for instance.

Six bladed props?

Thread revival! Actually got some work done on the high wing 737. I didn't know what to do with it so I added some fuel tank halves as fairings top and bottom and painted it testor's grey on top and camo grey underneath. I went with the Testors as it was gloss and would facilitate the decalling. This scheme mimics the USAF special ops scheme. The idea was a new JSTARS/C3 type with smaller more modern equipment inside. Decals are all picked out so I just need a couple hours to apply them.

I may revisit the relief transport but I just wanted to move in a positive direction on this one. Its been sitting around far too long.

SWMBO is out of town this weekend so I was able to get some decals on today.
Turned out pretty nice if I say so myself!















The Testors grey was spray painted with a rattle can and everything else was hand painted. Decals are from the kit, an A-10 sheet, an F-16 sheet and a couple of strays from the bottom of the decal bag.

Pretty and sleek.
The next development could be putting the angines OVER the wings, à la Beriev Be-200. With those sponsons, it's a natural amphibian, for those intervention zones where airports have been earthquaked. I am sure some humanitarian agncy is already hinking this over.

There you go, giving me ideas again! Overhead cargo doors would be required.....

With overwing engines, space near the sponsons is free, so cargo doors on fuselage sides over the sponsons would allow easy unloading to boats etc., or along a pier.
