F-5 ZOV Twin-Tigco and OV-105 Bronger

[Tophe]

From Flyer's great topic/blog http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,39500.435.html

You would have liked what I almost did to it last night Tophe, I was going to add booms and tail from a Bronco to it but I couldn't immediately think of what to do with a boomless Bronco so I cancelled that...

A boomless Bronco would be a wonderful flying wing, somehow but do in your own way, this creation is of course your property!

This idea of Bronco booms somewhere and a boomless Bronco flying wing turned in my mind, round and round... and I think that, thanks to you Flyer, that produced a solid project of model in my mind. For my birthday in December, I plan to buy one 1/144th Bronco kit (Hornet) and two 1/144th F-5 Tiger kits : the F-5s would be close to one another with external booms from the Bronco, and without the F-5 fins, reported on the Bronco flying wing, with maybe low wing... Thanks again!

This is preliminary work, I plan to buy the kits in early January 2017 (or maybe early December 2016) :

I have to check first if the OV-10's tailplane size is good for a zwilling F-5Z or a single F-5.

Well, for a Zwilling F-5, lots of work would have to be done between the fuselages, with no room for 2 air-intakes. So the F-5ZOV Twin-Tigco project turns down to F-5OV Tigco with a single F-5, which is cheaper moreover.
Concerning the OV-10 fuselage, I think my Bronger flying wing project (or tailless with 2 fins) will change, using the 2 tailplanes of the F-5 (not only the fin, single at last), maybe as canard foreplanes...

[Tophe]

So here will be the Bronger part. (without the full wing because I lack room, sorry PR19Kit...)

I found with Google just a view from underside (of OV-10), from above there would be the F-5 fin on the wing and rear end of fuselage.

Love it! Does this mean that you might be doing a physical build soon, Tophe?

Yes, this will happen soon (if I am not murdered).
But you know: I am not playing only with pictures, see my big collection of personal models at http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/ThankingIgor.htm

I do like the name "Bronger".

F-5/OV-10 is the Flitzer's development...great mix!

Very cool Tophe ! Love the last set of profiles

Tophe.... Ambitious, friend!  I can't wait to see this coming together.   A pretty nutty idea so you know I'm on board. 

[Tophe]

Thanks to all!

Tophe.... Ambitious, friend!

Yes, if Flyer - scratchbuild expert - has discarded this idea, I may fail because I have 10 times less skills.
Anyway I do not guarantee the result will be wonderful but I will try, my way (with imperfect result, just trying to materialize an idea)...

Bud, you keep going and you're going to have Wonder Woman's invisible jet.

excellent ideas and projects! much success with the realisation!
