Quote from: Wardukw on January 24, 2025, 08:28:35 PMit's looking more likely that one of my 48th A-10s is gonna loose it's engines

There was an idea I saw where someone suggested cutting an A-10 behind the wing, putting a pusher turboprop engine back there with a top-mounted radiator scoop and you have a nifty light attack job.
Lose the 30mm and substitute a brace of something similar but single-barreled and go hunting. :thumbsup:

Something I still plan, as and when I can excavate my A-10... :banghead:

I'm having a similar idea for a A-10 turbo prop ground attack aircraft but in this very strange scale called 72nd scale  :o  :o
Now if I had a 48th C-130 to play with I'd do a 48th one but woe is me on that front 😆
Quote from: Beermonster58 on January 31, 2025, 01:12:10 AMDon't know what this "1/48" thing is about 😉😂. However, I did once consider fitting a pair of CFM - 56 hairdryers to a true scale C-130. They were donated by the Airfix ( Ex Heller) E-3 kit which had options for two engines.
The pylons were fairly short and, ground clearance looked OK but, it never came about because I ended up building the E-3 as the RAF version anyway
Monster mate I do understand your frustration with this scale thingy..I to have this issue with this 72nd scale I read chaps talking about and they say it's the one true scale...so I've no idea what that's about..it's all very strange actually bud 😳 😀 😉


Don't worry about it. You will see the light. God will guide you to the true path! ;)  ;D . I find 1/72 the most practical scale as, even very large aircraft (I have a Revell 1/72 B-36) are doable. The B-36 incidentally finish up in RAF Dark green/ Dark Earth/ Black because I dislike natural metal finishes almost as much as I dislike boring , grey jets...! ;D
Oh the gods did guide me monster mate ..it's called 1/35th scale 😆 🤣
I know the B-36. ..had two em over the decades and bloody near had another one a wee while ago but common sense got the better of me  ;D
Had the B-52 aswell and id have both again if I had the space 🙃
Dude I really do like your paint colour choice for your 36 ...that would look so different and im'a liking that muchly 😃

👍Actually, I dont mind 1/35 because the vehicles in that scale dont take up much room👆😊.

Thank you for the comment on the B-36. I had considered other options, either the gorgeous "Royal Aircraft Establishment" raspberry ripple" scheme or, the later Bomber Command Grey/Green/PRU Blue (looks nice with Suez invasion stripes).

I might still change my mind...... 😂

Actually, that WOULD look nice. Not too dissimilar to the RAF scheme AND, with black undersides too👍😊

Most things look good in SEA cam... :thumbsup:
Maybe a Vulcan with a HSAB under each wing?

My B-36 is going to be backdated to an A (no burnin' just the six turnin'), RAAF, in Anti-Flash White.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That sounds cool.  :thumbsup:
Plenty of scope for dirtying her down, too...

PR19_Kit

And the four burnin' can be used for all sorts of other Whiffs too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That's an idea. A re engined Arado AR-E555 perhaps 🤔😊

Dude ..mind change..do it!!!
A B-36 in that scheme would look amazing and with invasion stripes 😍
The command gray and green would look great and we all know Kits feelings about PRU Blue 😆 🤣

35th scale is great as long as you don't have the disease I have...SPG's and large tanks and tank transporters  :o  ;D
Space becomes a issue then  :wacko:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Wardukw

Well the bug has bit ...bitten hard ..so I've already hacked this thing up a wee bit 😳
Ya know ..getting a feel for how I want the end result to look .
There's one change to my original plan..this will still only have two engines..but now turbo proped with two massive 6 bladed propellers  ;)

How about a PR-36 in RAF service but in overall PR Pink ?  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

PR19_Kit

IS there that much PR Pink paint in the world?  :o

I've stocked up on it so I can corner the market. Eat your heart out Bitcoin  :wacko:  ;)
