Looks interesting. Not sure if I would like to fly in one though....

And you found a new color of paint. No light blue any longer!

Thanks!
The grey colour was just the Novo plastic and Humbrol putty, I am starting to paint the underside sky blue as usual.
And preparing the propeller to install as pusher on top of the fin.

Thos is very interesting Tophe, and almost Soviet in design.

aha, I was afraid that floats would not be used as floats but booms, but apparently they are doing both !

Looking quite glorious...... I hate to say it.... but I love the symmetry.

Tophe · December 18, 2019, 06:36:39 AM

Thanks!
And the Sharhk model is now finished!:

There's NO WAY anyone could figure that was originally a Blackburn Shark.

Amazing work Tophe.

DogfighterZen · December 18, 2019, 11:21:13 AM

Yes, that looks amazing! As always, a weird design but very interesting indeed, great work, Tophe!

I picture it being a futuristic swamp buggy that can not only glide over small burms (or whatever ) but can also hop over small islands and trees and bridges and stuff. Very good!

Tophe · December 18, 2019, 11:56:09 PM

Thanks!
Maybe it is a single-seat air-boat with a little possibility of WIG flying...

(the propeller on the rudder makes easy to change direction in the water)

And starring in a kid's t.v. programme as well

Brilliant bringing to life of the conception Tophe

Thanks!
And I am adding a mirror copy to have a two-seat twin-fuselage (or twin-pod) asymmetric version:

Tophe · December 21, 2019, 04:48:20 AM

Another mirror copy creates a second twin-seat twin-fuselage Sharhk-II, this one being twin-engined, symmetric and with 4 booms-floats:

PR19_Kit · December 21, 2019, 06:05:18 AM

Symmetric?!

I never thought I'd read that word in a Tophe post!

Uh? Do you mean: like if I were normal?

(I mean: sane of mind, eh eh, I will tell that to the psychiatrist, will he laugh?)
