Kickstarter for a 1/48th kit of the Tyrannic P-94 'Battle Sandwich' aircraft designed by Christian Pearce for something called 'Sky Tusslers'.

Agreed! Fun whiffy aircraft but limited-run resin expensive.

Flappy bits, spinny bits and gassy bits ....

Nice design at all !

I'm pretty sure I've seen the Battle Sandwich drawing/painting somewhere before.

Nice. Shame it's the wrong scale.

but wrong scale!!

Not entirely sure how it merits the "Iconic" designation but, that's unimportant. This is so incredibly weird it's actually appealing but, it's resin and, for me anyway, that means, along with the price, instant turn off . Still , good luck to them.

Pretty late replying to this but I'm pretty sure these are all on DeviantArt, but don't ask me where.

Googling Battle Sandwich got me Deviantart and a couple of other art sites - - - and Christian Pierce's own site https://christianpearce.artstation.com/projects/xoOmm

His Uncomfortable Motorcycles page looks interesting: https://christianpearce.artstation.com/projects/lxKNdG

Good stuff. This guy has worked on some excellent movies.

The Battle Sandwich made it's funding goal (only by the skin of it's teeth though), so it will be produced.

Here's another one he did: The Violence Vulture.

Pretty much an I-16 on steroids with a Thunderbolt cowling and Corsair wings.

Yeah, well, he's a Kiwi ... It explains a lot! Hey, Phill?!
