Crap. Photobucket doesn't allow you to insert photos anymore?

I don't post here very often, so not too sure about the picture-posting protocols here. I went with what I know how to do from StarShipModeler, hopeing that no-one would mind.

Thank-you all for your kind remarks.

Trophe, you're welcome.

I have to say, when I first saw your site I was worried that my intended build had been done already.

I'm glad, for both of us, to expand the repertoire.

Nice!

Very nice and a brilliant concept and backstory. And your execution of the project was really well done. Hope to chip in with something similar soon.

Best regards,
Kem

Thanks! Your one gave other babies...:

And other ones, still 4-engined but with triple-tail:

Thanks again!

And also XP-76Z Twin-Double-Lightning and P-76Z Double-Lightning-Zwilling, big! Thanks again

The QP-76 was the smallest and the YP-76Z was the biggest:

Sad news ... the XP-76 was the victim of an unprovoked attack by a ceiling tile yesterday. When I discovered the outrage, someone had already 'swept up' and most of the snapped-off pieces are now gone. Any rehabilitation will have to be in the form of a "flying model" - undercarriage up, prop blades removed.

Worst of all, I'll have to put a pilot in her. The canopy on the P-38 was the most complicated and stupid canopy ever devised in WWII, I do believe. Why Lockheed couldn't come up with a sliding hood - heck, just borrow one from the Mustang, or a Spitfire! Anyway, putting that stupid assemblage together was the worst part of the build, and now I've got to do it again. <sigh>

Sad news indeed. Reinforces my prejudices regarding decoration of the ceiling.

Tophe · September 03, 2017, 08:44:48 PM

Condolance for your poor broken model... $:-\$
But maybe this is an opportunity to transform it, like inventing a different one somehow
