Hi all

I'm posting this one here because I have borrowed one of Tophes designs.(with his permission) and would like him to see the results

This is the starting point/inspiration.

The build thread is here on BTS:-   http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=9563.0

I love it! 

I bet that would have sounded superb as well! 

Where did the contra-props come from please?

[Dizzyfugu]

Probably a wobbly affair on the ground, but I like that thing a lot! 

[NARSES2]

Very elegant 

[Robomog]

Thanks Guys, much appreciated,

PR19_Kit:  Both  the props are the paddle blade options from the Mustang kits this  model was made from. One was reversed to form the contra props, then a back plate from a different mustang kit in my spares finished it off a treat.

Dizzyfugu:  it actually sits quite solid on its tail, if you peruse the build thread you will see I got quite carried away as there was little wiggle room when setting this up    As for real world this thing would probably be a bit shaky in a strong wind

Really liking this,  I  can just imagine a load of these on deck of an aircraft carrier,  sliding back and forth like shopping trolleys when the sea got a bit choppy 

[SPINNERS]

That's one WILD Mustang!

[Tophe]

 
Wow! Wonderful! Even better than my dream with this double engine and rear canopy
