Here's one, Lockheed CL-1201. Several crazy ideas in one. Nuclear powered, check. Feckin' huge, check. Launch 10 nuclear missiles while carrying 22 aircraft, so put all our eggs in this massive basket, check. Oh, and make it VTOL as if we haven't got enough problems getting small aircraft off the ground in the sixties, check.  :o

That makes me think of the various "missileer" designs I've seen over the years. The idea survives but never gets any traction. It's always some large aircraft carrying truck loads of anti aircraft missiles with tracking and guidance provided by some other aircraft. Of course if the missileer aircraft gets shot down then there goes all your missiles.

Great googly moogly, I don't think even one of us on our daftest days could have come up with something like that.

Maybe a 10 year old boy or girl who is REALLY into planes, while they still have wild imaginations not bunged up by the laws of physics.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

And that , folks, is what your flying aircraft carrier would really look like!
It would have to be vertical take off as there isn't enough land in the entire midwest for a runway!

There's always Project Pluto. So many levels of bad.

Nuclear powered ramjet spewing radioactive waste wherever it flew-- check
Supersonic -- check
At low altitude -- check

OK I'm having a problem chaps ...trying to figure out my second build .
I was going to build the Trumpeter E100 with a 12.8cm AA gun ..it's a brilliantly bad idea ..but it's completely OTB  and I'm not in the mood to go OTB 😒
Buzzys 100mm BMP 1 is a great idea ..ive got 3 BMPs ..a 1,2 and a 3 ..but Buzzys brain beat me very nicely 😆

I want to build something else armoured and with tracks ....Im having problems with an idea and it's annoying me .

OK..update....im having an idea here while enjoying a very nice coffee ☕️ 😀
I'm thinking of a Kettengrad sort of deal ..but bigger  :wacko:

A while back me great mate Fred ..Sir Zenrat sent me a 1/32nd 1957 Daihatsu Midget 3 wheeler and I had plans for something along the lines of a tracked version using a Kettengrad..but that's changed now .
I've also got a Polish TKS tankette with a NKM wz.38 20mm cannon... :wacko:  :wacko:
Also have a couple of Hind D gunships in 35th with rocket pods...hmmmm 🤔
The question is..is this a bad idea or just a stupid one .

The 1/32 1957 Daihatsu Midget 3 (all in that line) is a fun little kit with a ton of potential. It would be funny to see it with a 1/35 rocket pod jury rigged into the cargo area (if one would even fit).

A Tuk Tuk Technical?
A stupidly bad idea.
Bravo.
Wish i'd thought of it.
Fred

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

The Vespa 150 TAP wasn't used in Indochina, but it was used in Algeria. How it did is anybody's guess due to a lack of available information.

This example of operator would not be
reccomended.
:wacko:
