I was looking for something else and saw this picture ...



And thought - What if the two aircraft were actually one and how it would fit nicely into the air force of Morvalonga as a COIN attack aircraft.  Now I'm trying to hunt down a pair of Cessna O-2s.

I bet Tophe was involved with that somewhere.........  ;D :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Two fuselages, three tail booms and four engines! Why not!

The Airfix O-2 is on my want list as one of the kits to re-experience that I remember glue bombing as a kid.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

There's also an ARII kit of the Cessna, but it has a fixed landing gear (like the civil Siamese twin).

I stumbled across this civil one last year and have wanted to do my own variation's ever since. If you find the kits go for it. :thumbsup: :cheers: :bow:

Nice one!  I'll keep looking for the kits for a military version.

Wonderful picture, thanks!
Will you build it like that, with 4 booms, or with 3 booms (one in common), like Kit_PR19's (and USAF's) Tri-Stang had 3-fuselages? ;) ;D
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Not sure yet.  Looks like I have plenty of tie as the only ones I can find are on ebay at around £20 each.  Way beyond what I want to spend.

For a military version I'll need to decide on its role first.  The options I'm thinking of:

1.  Command and control - some weapons
2.  Gunship - underwing weaponry and one fuselage with side firing heavy guns
3.  Special Forces Support - Fitted out to carry SF paras and have a substantial close support weaponry in pods
4.  COIN - Rockets and guns galore!
5.  Medevac - one fuselage kitted out as an ambulance the other for sitting wounded
6.  Logistic - cargo/para fuselages
Maybe others as I save up!
