My mind is already boggling, looking at the components there. 

[zenrat]

Duck, Mustang, Airacobra, Bf110, Fw190, Pe2 and Beaufighter parts are in the box so far.
It looks really good in my head.  I should prolly do a concept sketch.

Now I'm boggling even MORE!

MeKo 7? Obviously refers to the 7 different kits being bashed together in a Mess of Kookiness.

Kit brings back memories

Looks like Duck lower hull, Airacobra upper fuselage, and Mustang wings are on order. Possibly going to transform into a twin-engined bird with the Bf110 or Beau powereggs?

Its the seventh design from the метательное копье design bureau.
I've since added to the box parts from a Mosquito.

Here's a sketch.

And here's a mock up.  As you can see i've been busy with the saw.

Your creativity never ceases to astound me Fred. 

How the DEVIL did you come up with that idea???

[zenrat]

Cheese at bedtime.

[RAFF-35]

That's just incredible, well done sir 

[Snowtrooper]

That contraption is pure mad genius and definitely looks all the way Soviet. Nice idea to move the cockpit to the float, and the Bf110 tails should suit her well. (Also, do I see contraprops in the sketch?) Of course, the design "might" be "slightly" top-heavy due to the engine (will it be turboprop even?), but isn't that what the wing floats are for?

Cheese at bedtime.

And there was me thinking it took a couple of bottles of red

Having looked it up: метательное копье means javelin (if Russian) or throwing stick (if Ukrainian), according to Google Translate. So, the probable contextual translation is "throwing spear".


Just me being me.

"Chucking Stick" ?
