Yep ..Im nicking Beermonsterz twin Hercules idea ...his idea was a real beauty and for months and months I wanted an idea of what to do with this 72nd zvezda C-130H my mate Perrin gave me ..well after finding Monsters thread in the ideas section the idea started to take shape and now it's becoming a reality...so thank you muchly Beermonster mate 😀

Well the first ideas some of you might have read but the first idea was 4 jet engines..using 4 72nd A-10 engines...that after yapping with Rick and a few others plans went south again 😆
Soooo then when I was having trouble getting another  72nd scale A-10 the mind started to wander and I looked at one of my 48th scale A-10s .

Yep that's now what's happening...ive already cut the wings just outside of the inside engines and started to build the mounts so I can join the engines to the wings and then I have to make some very careful measurements to mount the outside wings in place 😀.
Now you'd think that this is about where it's pretty much done ...not now .
I received a lovely parcel yesterday from a bloody good mate down in Wellington..you know who you are Rick  :wacko: 
In the parcel were 3D printed propellers..6 of em in total..4 five bladed Spitfire one and 2 6 bladed jobs ...well ya can pretty much see what's happening here can't ya 😏
Now here's the kicker ..these are 48th scale and they are huge but when I put them in front of the A-10s engines and on the plane they look pretty damn good 👍
So there ya go ..a twin engined Herc powered by 2 bloody great big turbo props  :wacko:

Also it's going to be a beastie ECM aircraft..well a wiffy ECM bird anyway .
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 .
