Project #2 may be great ^_^  while #1 is already much interesting :wub: . Could you tell us more? Is this a Burnelli UB-14 in a what-if angle, with P-38 like fins? Tell us more, please... :)

I like your work...that P-38/WHATEVER looks amazing! And the similarity to the pic Tophe found is unbelievable... :wacko:

  Yes, I had a Burnelli in mind, love those ships! I just used a Burnelli shape and built the wings around it. (the tails were too big, well out of scale) I do have another shot of it, but at present, it's only undercoated after 7 days' work, and shelved 'till next time.

That is so cool. It nevers ceases to amaze me how some people can look at something like a P-38 and see so much more.
Getting back into modeling

The front view.
I found wings for project #2, from a Beaufighter. So far the wings are together, with the undercart section removed and attached to the modified booms. I removed the intakes along the booms and will add radials as powerplant. The two ideas are still there, I'll have a look on Tuesday, at the hobbyshop for 'the fuselage pod' which will work out what the project will be and what scale!

Oh, you have GOT to be kidding----that's your model?

Not a "real" plane?

Gagh!!
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Project #2. As you can see, to the booms/tails and tailplane, I've now added the wing. Also, removed the intakes along the booms, as the engines I intend using will be radials.

Tails/booms and tailplane : P-38
Wings                             :Bristol Beaufighter
scale: ? (at this point, although it ended up 1/100sc.)

Interesting... Mysterious... What pod will be between the wings...? :)
